Stolen Babies - Lifeless

Published on Mar 13, 2023
I can see the lifeless, I can feel the darkness under you
I can see behind me
I can try to hide it but without a will to see the truth
I can feel a heartbeat slowing into nothing

Why don't I go - when I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why do I stay - when I know there's nothing I should say?

As I stand behind you, lost in all the things that I would do
Never really with you, quietly halfway in the room
Do you see behind you, do you see behind you?

Why don't I go, tell me why do I stay - when I know there's nothing I should want here?
Why don't I go, tell me why do I stay - when I know there's nothing you can see?
Why don't I go, tell me why do I stay - when I know there's nothing I should say?
Why don't I go, tell me why do I stay - when I know there's nothing for me here?

How I see you now is all wrong
With my hands full and it's all wrong
And I shouldn't have looked 'cause now I can't look away
