Empty walls
With empty spaces
Shadows and stains
That brand those images
Ingrained into my mind
That blind me every time
I scrape past the surface
The permanent gaze
Stretched to a strain
Eyes open again
No one else helps
Empty rooms
Without those traces
Of empathy that you left
In dusted corners and trays
And you can complain about endless days
That drag on til sunlight burns
Everybody's lazy eyes
The permanent gaze
Stretched to a strain
Eyes open again
No one else helps
Bleed
Cause you don't care
Need
Cause you don't care
Believe
Cause you don't care
Need
Let it all die out
And don't say that you want me to
Because you know I'll try
And then you decline
The permanent gaze
Stretched to a strain
Eyes open again
No one else helps
Bleed
Cause you don't care
Need
Cause you don't care
Believe
Cause you don't care
Need
Let it all die out
Then I awoke one day to a sunbeam
Cracking the slumbering monster
And the fact has to be faced
Before it becomes yesterday's
Meaningless historical trivia
The defending runs dry
Can we be left alone forever now
Bleed
Cause you don't care
Need
Cause you don't care
Believe
Cause you don't care
Need
Let it all die out
As if it really ever meant something beyond
The heat of an ill timed moment
As if there was a reason to share the pride
So just succumb to the impulsive now
