I've been suffocating all night

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

And I get fists on my shy nerves? 

And say it's this that you deserve? 

Do you wanna live in a soft shell

Or knuckle under the hard sell? 

When your arms start creeping thru

When you're ashamed of what you're trying to do



Dead air

Don't let it be spoken

A record's broken

Skipping to the words that hang in this

Dead air

And you never say nothing

Dead air between you and me



I've been suffocating all night

Too much of nothing made me get uptight

You're in a rut with your dumb ones

It takes no guts to be don juan

To go around brooding and tight

When you got no reason for brooding

You've become completely sick

You don't give a s***

You just wanna forget



Dead air

Don't let it be spoken

A record's broken

Skipping to the words that hang in this

Dead air

And you never say nothing

Dead air between you and me



I've been brooding all night

I got no reason for brooding

I don't know what I'm doing

I keep trying to speak out loud



Dead air

Dead air between you and me
