Look around, do you like the silence?
Addicted to the emptiness, but peace you gotta find it
'Til the end of the night, 'til the end of my life
I'll be looking for something, and come to find that it's nothing
But

I can't help myself, my mind lies somewhere else
In time I'll find some help, I long for some closure
My back's against the wall, I'm stuck I can't go on
I'm drowning, I'm counting to nothing, to nothing

Put down your gun before you hurt someone
Put down that knife before you take my life
Give me time and I can change your mind
If you tell me your secrets, I can tell you mine
I hear people speak around me
Who's outside the wall surrounding
Dim my lights and close my eyes
I'll be fine, just leave without me

I'm in a trance, I'm hypnotized
Open my eyes but I'm still blind
You're the only one I recognize
The only face I see, face I see
I forgot to mention, I pay close attention
You don't like to listen
You and I are driftin' away
Driftin' away, driftin' away
Driftin' away, driftin' away

All I wanted back was you
And I inside my bed
I used to dream about you all the time
You screamed your favorite song of mine like

I can't help myself, my mind lies somewhere else
In time I'll find some help, I long for some closure
My back's against the wall, I'm stuck I can't go on
I'm drowning, I'm counting to nothing, to nothing
