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
