a face that shaped dreams

lost in a broken frame

the colour is fading but for now

it 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

the 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 scaring

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 on 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 stop it now

i'll catch a wave back to the shore not so far away: I stop now



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

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
