Suddenly caught the shape of your shrouded ghost
Soberness invading my self esteem
I'll try my best not to let it show and turn you off
Telling you things that you don't want to hear
But lately the night comes rushing by
The days are too hard to swallow
Believe me, now I'm tongue-tied, broken down

Are you up tonight?
I'm looking for reasons to deny
If only you could read my mind
And turn it around
The folded arms
And frightened frowns

Talia
Don't walk beside me
I'll burn to the ground
The flesh awaits decay
I know that nothing ever stays
So carry on your way

The walls are coming down
Amidst the false alarms
"Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile"
As I awkwardly stand
All lost without a plan
It's nothing but a glance
A split second trance

Are you up tonight?
I lie down in a lifetime of decline
Is it now too late to try
to turn this around?
To let it all come clear this time?
