Cause and effect

What's been happening outside, because
i've been here so long my skin's looking tired
maybe it's time to get some air
there's got to be something happening somewhere
i could buy the tickets, we could catch a show
i'll take you where you want to go
why do you still hang round
when you've let all of your good friends down
it's no good telling me that you've tried
you've got to flood me like the highest tide
this is not an option, this is not a game, no
i don't go far enough away
everyone is disguised
from the clothes they're wearing to that look in their eyes
and some of them do it well
you might be one of them because i just can't tell
when you look in the mirror what is it you see
i don't go far enough away
