Huddled up in a crowd
I can taste the concrete
I can hear them walking
Feel them staring down around me
As I try to get by you
Just let me get by you
Just turn down the lights
So I can hide
So I can fit inside
What I've never fit inside
And the look I caught,
Was I supposed to be there at all
Either way, I just wanna get by you
Just let me get by you
Were you shot?
And I'll pretend I didn't hear that
Some kinda freak you are
You don't deserve to be a part
Of what we call life
To love, to have, to hold, to know
And the whisper you think I can't hear
But I can...
Yeah I can
I can and they kill
How long can it take to come around
From what?
From what?
Just turn off the lights
I've had enough for one day
And I wanna get by you
Just let me get by you,
Not today
Were you shot?
And I'll pretend I didn't hear that
Some kinda freak you are
You don't deserve to be a part
Of what we call life
To love, to have, to hold, to know
And the whisper you think I can't hear
But I can...
Yeah I can
I can and they kill,
But I'm alive...
Im alive
Im alive
Yeah Im alive
But don't think that I'll be ok
Don't pretend to agree with me
You see, I need someone to see,
To slap me around
I've found the sound of silence vile
Beside the smile I lost a while ago
I find the words I used to know...
Dont think,
Dont think,
Just slap me around
I've found the sound of silence vile
Beside the smile I lost a while ago
I find the words I used to know...
That I'm alive
Im alive
Im alive
Yeah Im alive
