Lyrics[]
I can't express
Buildings echo
Of lives that drown
Within these four walls
Reality gcomes crashing down
I think
When I’m alone
I try to move
And move again
I try to see and reason
Alone I think
I move again
Absorb and feel
Savour and save it
Try to move
Then move again
I cannot speak
Cannot try
And I move again
I can’t believe
I can’t express
I think
When I’m alone
I try to move
And move again
I try to see and reason
Alone I think
I moved again
Absorb and feel
Savour and save it
Try to move
Then move again
I cannot speak
I don’t want to try
And I move again
Oh, in this world of words
And endless talk
I tried to move, I moved again
Again
Again
Again
