Once Nothing Then There Were Nine lyrics

I need your silhouette to come into focus
I need your silhouette to come into focus
I need your silhouette to come into focus
The closer I get the more I feel so hopeless

I'll hold this mental image and freeze it in my mind
I'll stretch out every second and walk on broken glass
Like salt to the sea you're now a part of me
And I'm gonna see this through, oh yeah
I'm gonna see this through, gonna see this through

This doesn't feel at all like breathing, this is something new
And everyone's saying that it's the worst road you're gonna wanna take

But I just can't, but I just can't help myself, help myself

I, I sleep alone and this place is pale and empty
With every breath I take I throw it all away
Thrown it all away, I throw it all away

I've buried names and faces for twenty years
My mouth works harder than my heart
Over and over again I pretend this will be different in the end
