Lyrics

No Contestar

[Verse 1]

Lay down your head in the shifting light

When it starts to fade

When it starts to fade

[Verse 2]

My mind plays a trick of a lethal kind

Drifting away

Drifting away

[Verse 3]

Now I concede that I may have lived too long

Close to the bone

Close to the bone

[Verse 4]

When there's no knock upon the door

You know it's me

When your phone doesn't ring

[Verse 5]

Now as the day begins to die

You can call me

But when you call me

There's no reply
