Lyrics

[Intro: Dennis Lee & Shawn Milke] What is wrong with her eyes? A glossy stare that won't leave me be Starts my blood running cold A gaze that could make Hell freeze over I have to understand she's gone But she's not Don't you tell me that she is dead Watch her lips softly move Because she's still whispering to me And something here is not quite right (And something here is not quite right) [Verse 1: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Skin so cold beneath my touch as I brush back her hair and close her eyes But I cannot stand to turn away When I do, she'll be gone It's frightening [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Melissa Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door (They'll be here soon) I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me Running now will only make it worse (They'll be here soon) I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee] I won't [Verse 2: Shawn Milke & Melissa Milke, Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Shaking as I rest her body down No one knows, only me It's frightening [Pre-Chorus: Shawn Milke, Melissa Milke & Dennis Lee, Dennis Lee] Sweaty hands will fail to lock the door (They'll be here soon) I wish I could keep my teeth from grinding I wish I'd stop looking behind me Running now will only make it worse (They'll be here soon) I wish I could shake the awful feeling I wish my mind would stop [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? [Bridge: Shawn Milke] Why should I even try to stop the collapse? Why should I even try? [Breakdown: Dennis Lee] There's a madman staring straight at me Oh, I know I've seen his face before I am sure I've seen his face before [Chorus: Shawn Milke, Shawn Milke & Dennis Lee] Maybe I am crazy And my mind is trying to deceive me As the ground vanishes, I wonder Will the sky be the next to fail me? Paint abandons canvas And my brush can't seem to start again from scratch As I watch everything unravel Why should I even try to stop the collapse? [Post-Chorus: Dennis Lee] I won't
