lyrics

Stare
Stare into the sea
Fade
Into the darker side of me
Find
The color lost inside your eyes
A strange yet subtle way to lie

Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Always running away, finding nowhere to hide
But the safest of places is never inside

Count the hours with 12 little marks on the wall
And impatiently wait for a telephone call
To find another escape down inside of your heart

Sink
Sink into the sky
Blame
Blame it on your alibi
Try to hide it all far away

Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Always running away, finding nowhere to hide
But the safest of places is never inside

Count the hours with 12 little marks on the wall
And impatiently wait for a telephone call
To find another escape down inside of your heart

Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
These Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Don’t know when to begin but they know when to start

Always looking to view, never looking to act
But you just never fail to find ways to distract
From the sickening feelings stuck right in your heart

Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
The Familiar strangers who tear you apart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
Someones blocking the way down inside of your heart
