"Vacant Stare" lyrics

"Vacant Stare"

Oh, it's no fun describing situations
I could never be in
How can I dive from over 15 metres high?
When I can't even swim?

Don't go back in
I've heard that song you sing
And I do agree
That it's the best film of the year

Now I'm wondering just why I can't recognise
My very own lies

Cause I'm just looking for someone to tell the truth to
Not a vacant stare without a single point of view
Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?
You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving

Oh, it's the silence that will surely kill you
If you don't press engage
And then the space you're craving just engulfs you
When you don't turn the page

Don't turn away
I've done that thing you say
Don't start to yawn
Cause I love that place at dawn too

Now I'm wondering just why I can't recognise
My very own lies

Cause I'm just looking for someone to tell the truth to
Not a vacant stare without a single point of view
Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?
You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving

Stop making me talk today
Just want to walk away
I'm done looking for parts to play
Not listening to you
I'll stare at anything on the wall
Cause it won't talk back at all
I'll run at anyone else's call
Not living through you

Cause I'm just looking for someone to tell the truth to
Not a vacant stare without a single point of view
Have you been messing with the air that I am breathing?
You walk towards me and my oxygen starts leaving
