lyrics
I'm running circles in my mind
I'm getting closer all the time
And yet the faces chase me still
I'm running out of things to say
These pills won't make it go away
The hounds are nipping at my heels
If I ever fall asleep
I pray my soul stays out of reach
And if I die before I wake
That's one more soul the devil may take
I'm shoutin’ at my shadow
I'm shakin’ in my skin
The television's mocking me
But I won't let him win
I'm dancin’ without moving
I'm singin’ without sound
I'm naked and I'm hungry
And there's evil all around
Gotta keep, gotta keep running away,
Gotta keep on running away
Why are all the colors turning red?
It's getting crowded in my head
I'll keep the lights on just in case
And you, you look deliciously divine
Your features perfectly aligned
The gloom sits pretty on your face
There's mozart in the madnes
There's sickness in my skin
I'm thrilled about the sadness
And I can never win
There's nothing worth improving
There's nothing going on
There’s nothing that is soothing
And silence is a song
I'm getting closer all the time
And yet the faces chase me still
I'm running out of things to say
These pills won't make it go away
The hounds are nipping at my heels
If I ever fall asleep
I pray my soul stays out of reach
And if I die before I wake
That's one more soul the devil may take
I'm shoutin’ at my shadow
I'm shakin’ in my skin
The television's mocking me
But I won't let him win
I'm dancin’ without moving
I'm singin’ without sound
I'm naked and I'm hungry
And there's evil all around
Gotta keep, gotta keep running away,
Gotta keep on running away
Why are all the colors turning red?
It's getting crowded in my head
I'll keep the lights on just in case
And you, you look deliciously divine
Your features perfectly aligned
The gloom sits pretty on your face
There's mozart in the madnes
There's sickness in my skin
I'm thrilled about the sadness
And I can never win
There's nothing worth improving
There's nothing going on
There’s nothing that is soothing
And silence is a song
