Broken bottles and cigarette smoke.
The less I speak, the less I choke.
I'm choking more and more each day.
I count the days in words and notes.
The more I breathe, the more I know.
I know it more and more each day;
I just need somebody to show me the way.
I set fire to my sleep, now I'm burning in my dreams.
It's funny what love can do to you.
Take away my dreams, holding on to whispering release.
Awake, alive, with your voice tormenting.
Inside my mind I'm free to be breaking apart for you.
Oh, I guess I just need somebody to show me the way.
