There's that something in your eyes again

I can't get you to speak

I try to catch your gaze

Are you watching someone else?

I try to hold you up, but you go limp

and you feel so cold

I try to get you to communicate

but you are stuck, controlling your own fate

Can you hear me?

I think maybe not

Can you bear me?

holding on to what I haven't got

And so I swallow the bitter pill

turn my back and head for home

Tears in my eyes and fading will

please don't leave me alone

Can you hear me?

I think maybe not

Can you bear me?

holding on to what I haven't got

A snap of fingers and you're back again

your eyes turn to warm

But there is something which will now be changed

now I'm the mentally deranged

Can you hear me?

I think maybe not

Can you bear me?

holding on to what I haven't got
