Lyrics

Taboo

[Verse]

I lay not sleeping

Don't know what to do

Lay out in waiting

Lord for the noon

Pass so slowly

Time without you

I can't see why

My open eyes can't see

So much to look by

So many things to be

Can't keep looking

In and out of me, yes

She looks at nothing

Someone you all have seen

She never cried

As I watched her leave

Try to help me

Find the change in me

Oh, oh, oh

Try to help me

Find the change in me

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
