lyrics

Here I lay before my thoughts bounded by my brain
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
This makes no sense to me. I can't do this on my own
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming

Talking; never resting
Not listening to a word that's said
Not a sound surrounds me
To hear a voice as it is read
Can I stay here
Can I wait it out instead

Talking; never resting
and with the weight of the whole world
Falling down upon me
Can't hear the words that I've been told
Can I stay here
Can I wait it out instead
Can I stay here
Can I wait this out instead

Here I lay before my thoughts bounded by my brain
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
This makes no sense to me. I can't do this on my own
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming

Talking; never resting
Not listening to a word that's said
Calling down upon me
To hear a voice that is dead
Then I'm always asking
Questions that I should hide
Calling down upon me
To hear a voice that is alive

Can I stay here
Can I wait it out instead
Can I stay here
Can I wait this out instead

Here I lay before my thoughts bounded by my brain
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
This makes no sense to me. I can't do this on my own
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
Can I stay here
Can I wait it out instead
Can I stay here
Can I wait this out instead

Here I stand despite my thoughts surrounded by this love
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
It still makes no sense to me, but I, can do this on my own
And I'm waiting for an answer that's not coming
And I'm waiting for the answer that's not coming
the answer that's not coming

Can I stay here
Can I wait it out instead
Can I stay here
Can I wait this out instead
