"Somebody Somewhere" lyrics

"Somebody Somewhere"

When every bird has flown
This house is a haunted home
All the heirlooms in my hand have turned to dust
And the only souls around
Are wrapped in stolen shrouds
Repeating to themselves in god we trust
When my ventilator breaks
Every breath I take
The oxygen tastes poisonous and cruel
When every new dawn fades
From the nightmare I awake
A leper in a colony of fools

That's when I'll want you with me
That's when I'll need you there
That's when I want you to whisper in my ear and tell me
Somebody somewhere still cares

When every step I take
Takes me closer to the edge
Every where I turn
Is out of bounds
When every move I make
I repeat the same mistake
And take a right into the wrong side of the town
When enemies come my way
With curses they proclaim
You will never never find another friend
When I'm asking myself why
Is tomorrow a good day to die
Cos today my mausoleums up for rent

That's when I'll want you with me
That's when I'll need you there
That's when I want you to whisper in my ear and tell me
Somebody somewhere still cares

That's when I'll want you with me
That's when I'll need you there
That's when I want you to whisper in my ear and tell me
Somebody somewhere still cares
That's when I'll want you with me
That's when I'll need you there
That's when I want you to whisper in my ear and tell me
Somebody somewhere still cares
Somebody somewhere still cares
