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......
