I Wrote This Song to Tell You; 'Shadows Speak Louder Than Words.'

Why do you not understand?

My words fall on deaf ears

I′m drowning in this sea of despair

As I struggle through the years

I'm reaching out, but you′re not there

Lost in this endless night

Why do you not understand?

I'm trying every time I close my eyes

Voices whisper, haunting me

Echoes of what used to be

I'm trapped in this labyrinth of doubt

Lost in the shadows, can′t break out

I′m reaching out, but you're not there

Lost in this endless night

Why do you not understand?

I′m trying every time I close my eyes

I'm reaching out, but you′re not there

Lost in this endless night

Why do you not understand?

I'm trying every time I close my eyes

Cracks in the walls of my mind

Echoes of pain, haunting and unkind

Shadows dance in the corner of my soul

As I drown in this sea of sorrow

Losing control

(Blegh.)

Why do you ignore my screams?

Mind is blank, stuck in day dream

Each word I speak, my voice defeats

I′m trying, but I see my future's dark

I'm reaching out, but you′re not there

Lost in this endless night

Why do you not understand?

I′m trying every time I close my eyes

Every time I close my eyes

Every time I close my eyes

Every time I close my eyes

Every time I close my eyes
