The Drain

Sinking to the ground before you wake
Tied in place conveniently close to hell
The weight of everything you had to take
Dragged you further down, you act like it's all well

For years and years on end
You turned and faked a smile
With this look inside your eyes
That gave away your lies and screamed

Woah
How am I to survive
The anger that's inside pushing me right off to my downfall
Woah
Get me through the night
I hardly understand why bother trying this at all, at all

Exchanging looks it wasn't hard to tell
Your understanding nods did not require words
You slipped right through our fingers just in time
To leave me, wondering 'bout wormholes, behind

And people held their breath
When they saw you facing death
At the dinner table, not shivering one bit
And barely notice it

Woah
How am I to survive
The anger that's inside pushing me right off to my downfall
Woah
Get me through the night
I hardly understand why bother trying this at all, at all

Come to fear the nights standing by the fire
Just as much as I would want you there
Come to turn around when I hear a sound
Just to find out there is no one there

Now there's blunt white noise and the sound of your voice
Let them tigers drag it away
Come to turn around when I hear a sound
Just to find out there is no one there, no one there

What's left to say
Well, in a nutshell
There's nothing I could say
I'll be at peace with this someday
I guess
