Song Lyrics

Close the doors
If you want to see her breathing again
Blur the days
Sleeping is just not an option

How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't, I won't give up until I find out
Until I find what happened to you

The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind

You're not there
I poke needles in the neck of a doll
And she pokes back
Asking why can't I just let her out

How come every time I walk, you crawl?
Then you cut out all the letters that make up this note
I won't give up until I find you

The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind

Don't let the days escape
What I did brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them

Over my dead body
Over the search they lead
They won't find them anymore

Don't let the days escape
What I did, brings more of them
And we'll be waiting just for them

Over my dead body
Over the search they lead
They won't find them anymore

Now that I collect
From cells that we once shared
With multi headed union
Of multiple selves

The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me

The solution inhaled from the rag I hold
Holds a maximum vacancy
As I held you in crippled bandages
Don't you stay up and wait for me
Left dangling in the wind
