lyrics

sometimes silence pretends it's a sound
arrogantly screaming from underground
"listen to me!"

as the life you couldn't live declines
to fleeting thoughts and lost time
won't you ever stop to wonder why
you never even tried?

sinking slowly
to that perfect place inside
how can you turn away from the world
with closed eyes?

do you surrender the day?
it's easy
it can all go away if you give in

all those things you'll never say
will have more meaning
if they're locked and chained within

and all those moments you left behind
will dissipate in due time
safe and silent in this pathetic lie
as you cower from the outside

sinking slowly
to that lonely place inside
won't you miss the life you denied
with closed eyes?

idle fool, with complacency
you let it pass you by
all those things just might have been within reach
if you'd only tried...

-

try and try as you may
it's hard enough just being something...
though you'll dream of "some day"
you just sleep and stay as nothing.

so just sleep and stay as nothing
pretend you'll find another way
just sleep and stay as nothing
like you did yesterday

like you do every day...
like you will do today...
