A silent sleeping vampire, arisen from its grave
As I lie still and quiet in the dark
The only sign of breathing, a flicker on my skin
The only sign of life, my beathing heart
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 creak but doors are still
Ive read all the books about being ill
I know the truth and truth knows Im right
One day youll fear me in the night
A drowning man sees daylight
Coming up for air
Ive been working hard for this
All my life and I like it this way
I know theyre staking out my house
Thats why Im quiet like a mouse
I dont know love but I know whats right
I feel my sickness every night
My tv fills my world with light
24 hours of second sight
I talk to God on my station
He gives me secret information
A drowning man sees daylight
Coming up for air
Ive been working hard for this
All my life and I like it this way
Mother, suffocate me
Mother, suffocate me
Theres no way out of here
Its tearing me apart
Theres no way out of here
Theres no way out of here
Mother, suffocate me
Theres no way out of here
Theres no way out of here
No-no-no way out of here
