Vanilla Sky
1981 (Ninteen eighty-one)
[Verse 1]
The things have changed so quickly
As a dream's begin to rest
They turned into a present
That fights to coexist
We're greater in the evening
Our breakfast starts at three
The habits that we're keeping
Send peaceful minds to sleep
So this is growing up
Or maybe growing older
But I failed to ask the question
Why the innocence is over
Invulnerability
That comes from feeling lost
My heart and mind are ready
By defense a futile cause

[Chorus]
I'm sick with hesitation
Fight back the tears I bleed
And brave the suffocation
The city inflicts me
I face the confrontation
With the emptiness I feel
[Verse 2]
There's too much confusion
The cycle never ends
My friends resemble strangers
Until the next weekend
Doesn't matter what I choose
The choice has been made for me
They tell me what to think
And what is right for me

[Chorus]
I'm sick with hesitation
Fight back the tears I bleed
And brave the suffocation
The city inflicts me
I face the confrontation
With the emptiness I feel

[Bridge]
Why am I ignoring
The troubles in my head
My smile is getting boring
The longer I pretend
Is such a common feeling
We hide the feel within
To look for easy answers
Is a quest to die in vain
[Chorus]
I'm sick with hesitation
Fight back the tears I bleed
And brave the suffocation
The city inflicts me
I face the confrontation
With the emptiness I feel

[Outro]
I'm sick with hesitation
(I just need to break the silence)
Fight back the tears I bleed
(Silence without you)
And brave the suffocation
(I just need to break the silence)
The city inflicts me
(Silence without you)
I need to brave the silence
The silence without you
