lyrics

"Lifeless"

It's late, it's dark; I'll wait for you
My feet are getting cold
My eyes can't stop, my visions locked
On shadows my room holds

The breath escapes my lips like steaming
water from a pot
The figures made they help me,
They're the only friends I've got

And I'm longing for someone besides my lifeless friends
And I'm tired of counting sheep jump over my bed
And I hope that one day you will come to save me
But right now, I'll make do with crazy

The time that passes by me as I drape across my bed
Never one step behind me cause my body's filled with lead
One eye peers out the window cause it sees a light nearby
It quickly fades away, why does all life around me die?

Is something gonna happen soon to say "my life's begun"
Or is this body always doomed to never feel the sun?

And I'm longing for someone besides my lifeless friends
And I'm tired of counting sheep jump over my bed
And I hope that one day you will come to save me
But right now, I'll make do with crazy

No sounds around to cure me with my hallow, haunted ears
Just sounds my mind makes up to dry out all my saltless tears
There's only one to make me feel my empty life's complete
My mind goes numb as I sit waiting for the day we meet

And I'm longing for someone besides my lifeless friends
And I'm tired of counting sheep jump over my bed
And I hope that one day you will come to save me
But right now, I'll make do with crazy

Mmmmmm mmmmmm mmmm mmmmm
