There's that something in your eyes again 

I can't get you to speak 

I try to catch your gaze 

Are you watching someone else? 



I try to hold you up, but you go limp 

and you feel so cold 

I try to get you to communicate 

but you are stuck, controlling your own fate 



Can you hear me? 

I think maybe not 

Can you bear me? 

holding on to what I haven't got 



And so I swallow the bitter pill 

turn my back and head for home 

Tears in my eyes and fading will 

please don't leave me alone 



Can you hear me? 

I think maybe not 

Can you bear me? 

holding on to what I haven't got 



A snap of fingers and you're back again 

your eyes turn to warm 

But there is something which will now be changed 

now I'm the mentally deranged 



Can you hear me? 

I think maybe not 

Can you bear me? 

holding on to what I haven't got
