the paint came off the walls in your house
and the heat seeped through the windows
and your eyes got lost in the dark
you found it hard to drift off to sleep
with these heavy thoughts on your mind
when it"s quiet and unbearable
you spent the whole night
wide awake with curtains drawn
to keep the trouble at bay
in a city you can"t see through
sometimes the words don"t come out
sometimes you keep your mouth shut
and the heat seeped through the windows
and your eyes got lost in the dark
you found it hard to drift off to sleep
with these heavy thoughts on your mind
when it"s quiet and unbearable
you spent the whole night
wide awake with curtains drawn
to keep the trouble at bay
in a city you can"t see through
sometimes the words don"t come out
sometimes you keep your mouth shut
