I Wrote This Song to Tell You; 'Shadows Speak Louder Than Words.'
Why do you not understand?
My words fall on deaf ears
I'm drowning in this sea of despair
As I struggle through the years
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Voices whisper, haunting me
Echoes of what used to be
I'm trapped in this labyrinth of doubt
Lost in the shadows, can't break out
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Cracks in the walls of my mind
Echoes of pain, haunting and unkind
Shadows dance in the corner of my soul
As I drown in this sea of sorrow
Losing control
(Blegh.)
Why do you ignore my screams?
Mind is blank, stuck in day dream
Each word I speak, my voice defeats
I'm trying, but I see my future's dark
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
My words fall on deaf ears
I'm drowning in this sea of despair
As I struggle through the years
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Voices whisper, haunting me
Echoes of what used to be
I'm trapped in this labyrinth of doubt
Lost in the shadows, can't break out
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Cracks in the walls of my mind
Echoes of pain, haunting and unkind
Shadows dance in the corner of my soul
As I drown in this sea of sorrow
Losing control
(Blegh.)
Why do you ignore my screams?
Mind is blank, stuck in day dream
Each word I speak, my voice defeats
I'm trying, but I see my future's dark
I'm reaching out, but you're not there
Lost in this endless night
Why do you not understand?
I'm trying every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
Every time I close my eyes
