No Way Out... Continued

[Intro]

A silent sleeping vampire, arisen from his grave

As I am still quiet in the dark

The only sign of breathing, a flicker on my skin

The only sign of life, my beating heart

[Verse 1]

What does it take to open my eyes?

What does it take to register surprise?

What does it take to feel joy?

What does it take to feel pain?

Floors creep but doors are still

I've read all the books about being ill

I know the truth, the truth knows I'm right

One day you'll fear me in the night

[Chorus]

A drowning mind sees daylight, coming up for air

I've been working hard for this

All my life and I like it this way

[Verse 2]

I know they're staking out my house

That's why I'm quiet like a mouse

I don't know love but I know what's right

I feel my sickness every night

My TV fills my world with light

Twenty-four hours of second sight

I talk to God on my station

He gives me secret information

[Chorus]

A drowning mind sees daylight, coming up for air

I've been working hard for this

All my life and I like it this way

[Guitar Solo]

[Outro]

Mother suffocate me

Mother suffocate me

There's no way out of here

It's tearing me apart

There's no way out of here

There's no way out of here

Mother suffocate me

There's no way out of here

There's no way out of here

No, no, no way out of here...
