Staring at paperfaces   Expressions like empty pages   Day after day      Waiting for the lights to change now   Reaching for a cloud to come down   And cover me      Can't shut you out   Can't get you out   Can't take you down   Can't watch you drown      Waiting for the world to change now   Dissolution takes a bit out   And swallows me      Looking for a way to get out   Wishing that the rush would come down   And smother me      Can't shut you out   Can't get you out   Can't take you down   Can't watch you drown      If you can learn to be yourself, then that's okay   If you can find a reason now, don't drift away      Walking down streets to nowhere   Stepping on feet with no cares   Losing myself      Can't shut you out   Can't get you out   Can't take you down   Can't watch you drown      Can't shut you out   Can't get you out   Can't take you down   Can't watch you drown      Slide away   Slide away   Slide away   ...
