She lies sleeping, hardly breathing
In her bed surrounded by the pleading
Down the hall he cries in vein, his chapel breaking
Machines are dancing 'round her heart ever fading
There's a performance held across my face
And it's written with a song that I don't know how to play
Tell us are you with us now? Won't you show us how to
Breathe under the ground or leave her in the gown you put her in for now?
In the next room a child swears on angels, but the nurses won't tell us all
Who in this place wants to keep us apart from the clinically sane, so
Doctor tell us, are we fatal? Didn't she give enough to the table?
There's a performance held across my face
And it's written with a song that I don't know how to play
Tell us are you with us now? Won't you show us how
To breathe under the ground or leave her in the gown you put her in for now?
Now I'm looking down, torn from what I've seen
Sinking through the floor and is the whole world drowning?
Unforgotten sights. Unforgotten things. But the little voices they still sing
Come a little closer!
Come a little closer!
Come a little closer!
Come a little closer!
Come a little closer!
Come a little closer
Now
