There's that something in your eyes again 
I can't get you to speak 
I try to catch your gaze 
Are you watching someone else? 

I try to hold you up, but you go limp 
and you feel so cold 
I try to get you to communicate 
but you are stuck, controlling your own fate 

Can you hear me? 
I think maybe not 
Can you bear me? 
holding on to what I haven't got 

And so I swallow the bitter pill 
turn my back and head for home 
Tears in my eyes and fading will 
please don't leave me alone 

Can you hear me? 
I think maybe not 
Can you bear me? 
holding on to what I haven't got 

A snap of fingers and you're back again 
your eyes turn to warm 
But there is something which will now be changed 
now I'm the mentally deranged 

Can you hear me? 
I think maybe not 
Can you bear me? 
holding on to what I haven't got
