I never say
I think of nothing else
On any day
I could betray myself
I never spend
I only waste what’s mine
I never lend
When I can borrow time
I’m staring into space
I’m hiding in disgrace
I cover up my face
I leave this lonely place
It’s getting louder
I feel it ringing in my head
It’s getting nearer
It’s like a stranger in my bed
For every word
To pass unspoken by
For every dream
That’s left unbroken
I can count a thousand times
Can read a thousand lines
Can see a thousand signs
That say the blame is mine
It’s getting louder
I feel it ringing in my head
It’s getting nearer
It’s like a stranger in my bed
It’s getting harder
I can’t go anywhere alone
It’s getting darker
I feel it raining in my room
Now I’m standing on my head
I’m lying in my bed
Believing what I said
I close my eyes instead
It’s getting louder
I feel it ringing in my head
It’s getting nearer
It’s like a stranger in my bed
It’s getting harder
I can’t go anywhere alone
It’s getting darker
I feel it raining in my room
