lyrics

Can't say I'm surprised, the story's in your eyes. Can't say I'm amazed, I've seen it coming for days and days and days. Cannot see the moon. It's shivering at the edge of some dank tomb. My heart thuds like a bell. The rhythm counts the steps that lead to Hell.

And now you tell me that we have to talk, can we meet somewhere for a quiet walk.

Can't begin to think. I'm tripping, slipping on this icy rink. My life all ripped and torn. Feel it fall around me like the debris in a storm. And someone stole my air, hidden it away somewhere far up there and I'm buried under leaves like snowflakes from the iciest trees. And I'm colder than I've ever been before. Feel older than I ever thought was possible.

So now you tell me that we have to talk, can we meet somewhere take a quiet walk.

Can't bear to hear your words, my fear calms the wind and it quiets the birds. But still I cannot hear - you're standing far too near. Cannot bear to go to the places where we used to go. I can't hear anyone, never felt so numb. I can't hear anyone, never felt so numb. I can't hear anyone, never felt so numb. I can't hear anyone, never felt so numb. I can't hear anyone, never felt so numb ... (Can't hear what you're saying.)
