lyrics

I try to to talk to myself as I fall asleep
I try to escape the confusion of my old friends
They don’t understand a word I say
Well you think you know, but you don’t
You think my mind has come unglued
But it all makes sense in my head
I just can’t seem to get through to you
Unless I scream it
So I’ll scream it

I open the door
But no one comes in

This rabble forces a rout, besieges, and quickly proves
That a mind encircled by doubt
It freezes and can barely move
Like an ocean shelf in the dark
You can’t feel it ‘til it falls away
You’ve shot miles past the mark
Don’t believe them when they try to say there’s nothing left to lose
‘Cause I’m losing it

I open the door
But no one comes in
I read out the words
But no one listens

Weighed down by everything
Break out in a smothered scream
Spaced out and sundering
Laid down but never seen

[unintelligible]

I open the door
But no one comes in
I read out the words
But no one listens

I’ve lost it now
It’s forever gone
Forever gone
And I find that I
I can’t go on
I can’t go on
