Take my breath away, I don't need it anyway
cause I'm fine here in my old forgotten world
where I can be myself, left with the hand I'm dealt
and it's hard to get a grip when you're holding onto something you just let slip away

I guess I'll find the answers some day in another life

Here with my old friend, the silence in the end
And it rings so loud that I cannot pretend
I just close my eyes and ask a thousand whys
Will it change or stay the same? Will it ever go away?
The question still remains

On the road of desperation
Happiness machines, I'm coming clean
What can you do for me?
