"Talk To Me, Talk To Me" lyrics

"Talk To Me, Talk To Me"

I'm looking through a portal
It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
I'm lucky to be here now
I was lonely
Talk to me, talk to me

I've got a new perspective
The glass in my hand, it ain't exactly full
The place at my table is an empty stool
Talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing!

I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
The spectacle gets to you
Life is always new
Talk to me, talk to me

From my waking sleep, I fear
You're planning to prise yourself away from me
You're planning to exit from my misery
I can take a lot
But I'm not prepared to face the alone

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing!

All I want is your hand on mine
Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
I'm facing the lonely night
With my fading sight
Talk to me, talk to me

Many times I faced the wall
I called for the peace and now I've got it all
Peace grows into anguish
When your heart leaks
Talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing!

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realise it's all for nothing
All for nothing!

Delusions are all my present currency
They're causing the poison in my veins
And voices
Hearing voices telling me to beat the clock
Doctor, please release me now
I can't afford to waste another second
I can't waste it!

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
