Once Nothing Then There Were Nine
I need your silhouette to come into focus
The closer I get the more I feel so hopeless
I'll hold this mental image and freeze it in my mind
I'll stretch out every second and walk on broken glass
Like salt to the sea, you're now a part of me
And I'm going to see this through
This doesn't feel at all like breathing, this is something new
Everyone's saying, "It's the road you're gonna want to take."
But I just can't help myself
I sleep alone
This place is pale and empty
With every breath I take, I throw it all away
I've thrown it all away
I've buried names and faces for twenty years
My mouth has worked harder than my heart
Over and over again I pretend
This will be different in the end
