Lyrics
You build it up I tear it down You are the silence I'm the enemy of sound I can't keep hiding Feel dead inside I do my best to make you think I'm still alive Want to feel engaged From heart to brain The world's a mess And I could care less So let's work it out Let's make a start Feel more alone when we're together than apart Because you mean the world to me As you know We both want the same things, I suppose From one soul to the other We're waiting to recover There's no communication Two souls in celebration
