lyrics

I haven't touched you, touched you in so long
Yet you're in pain but not from my hands
I've been around you, but you were sleeping
Somewhere so far away, anywhere but (here)

Time, time ticking by
Staring through holes in your head
Once so full of life now seem wasted instead
Put you on a mantel piece above the window sill
So that you can see outside at the world looking in

The world is mocking you
The world is definitely mocking you
The world is mocking you
The world is definitely mocking you

Put you hands behind your back
Grab the monkey by the neck and
Put a bullet in his head
You can leave at any time
But you live in self denial
You never follow through

We see you, broken you
We see you, we miss you

You can't deny we have a chance
When everything you hold is in our hands

Put you hands behind your back
Grab the monkey by the neck and
Put a bullet in his head
You can leave at any time
But you live in self denial
You never follow through
