Lyrics

Cartoons from a television Whistles from the street Black out curtains, summer sirens Electricity I don't need ice machines I don't need speaker systems I don't need white lights blinking I don't need you to witness I don't need your forgiveness I don't need anything Finally start to make connections When everything goes dark It's pulling me in all directions It's tearing you apart I don't need ice machines I don't need speaker systems I don't need white lights blinking I don't need you to witness I don't need your forgiveness I don't need anythingm, but I do What am I doing watching clocks? This space is too empty, this room's too hot What am I doing wandering halls Ringing doorbells, pounding walls? I don't know what to say to people It only makes things worse It's timе to take my silent treatmеnt This won't be the first I don't need ice machines I don't need speaker systems I don't need white lights blinking I don't need you to witness I don't need your forgiveness I don't need anything, but I do What am I doing watching clocks? This space is too empty, this room's too hot What am I doing wandering halls Ringing doorbells, pounding walls? A rock that fell from orbit I rolled across the carpet under Frozen flowers on the wall Leaning on my shoulders What am I doing watching clocks? This space is too empty, this room's too hot What am I doing wandering halls Ringing doorbells pounding walls? What am I doing watching clocks? This space is too empty, this room's too hot What am I doing wandering halls Ringing doorbells, pounding walls?
