A Broken Frame

face that shaped dreams

lost in a broken frame

colour is fading but for now

seems all the same

the smile i loved in the mornings

now miles away

once restrained and then winning

once so open and next discreet

hear the drizzle of the rain

window's creaking

are there foot-steps in the hall

no a tap must be leaking

I'm lonely

all these noisy little nothings, silly nothings

drive me insane, it's scary

can you imagine just how i feel

i'm slipping i'm drowning

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

the bit of certainty i had

undermined and shaken

it's fading

the walls of sand are finally breaking

i'm slipping i'm drowning

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something

nothing is collapsing it's all unchanged

but it is stuck in a broken frame

there's still a balance that will remain

and won't slip out of a broken frame

no further will i drift away

abandoning my course

i start it now

i'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away

i start it now

can't help it can't stop it can't i believe in something...
