I'll fake a smile
Just like I rehearsed
A laugh isn't much to listen to
When I'm talking to myself
At the top of my lungs
And beneath your ears
Talk is so damn cheap
But it's the only thing
That I can afford
Don't know if it was worth it
Not that you ever heard it
Mouths are going through the motions
But my voice is sitting out these
Dances with their words, so
Will you speak up
When I'm crying out for help
Tell me you can hear me
Save me from myself
Will the sirens sing
Before this makes sense
Or am I too far gone
Already past tense
Should I just keep running
From my best advice
Which is worse than
Falling off the deep end
Can you ignore the sound of drowning
In the sea of once caring faces
Mouths are going through the motions
But my voice is sitting out these
Dances with their words, so
Will you speak up
When I'm crying out for help
Tell me you can hear me
Save me from myself
Will the sirens sing
Before this makes sense
Or am I too far gone
Already past tense
For crying out loud
For crying out loud
I'm choking on this dead language
And I can't catch my breath
It's the loudest sound
In this empty room
I'm not one for a crowd
But I could use some company
Will you speak up
When I'm crying out for help
Tell me you can hear me
Save me from myself
Will the sirens sing
Before this makes sense
Or am I too far gone
Already past tense
Will you speak up
Tell me you can hear me
Save me from myself
Will the sirens sing
Before this makes sense
Or am I too far gone
Already past tense
Will you speak up
