Please (please)
Please (please)
Baby
Not
Another
Stare

I've been
In that trance before
Those burning eyes half-glazed with tints of fury and resentment
Fighting not to look back
And still tasting the dust
From the last time
We
Did

We sift through the crowds
Without a care
Only to leave
The burnt pattern
Of a waking
Nightmare

Loneliness finds us
Beneath dim lit lights
Where pen and paper
Spell out confusion
Failing to escape
Those nights of solitude

Failing to escape
Failing to escape

You're the one who wants to cry something
You're the one who wants to cry something

You're the one who wants to cry something
You're the one who wants to cry something
Because you feel
Nothing
