"Desperation" lyrics

In my arms you lie
You're sleeping and you're still
I'm wide awake because I can't take it
And this is how I feel
Set my mind at ease (Set my mind at ease)
I'm worried and upset (I'm worried and upset)
When my front door isn't home anymore
I'll be living with regret

So listen up
And just let the music play
If you listen hard enough
You can hear me say

This is the sound
Of desperation
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin

This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin

You've heard it all before
Now you'll hear it all again
I never said I would rather be dead
But I've thought about the end (thought about the end)
So this is starting over and over (over and over)
The nights keep blending in
The only way I can get through the day
Is a try to make amends

So listen up
And just let the music play
If you listen hard enough (listen hard enough)
You can hear me say (hear me say)

This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin

This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin

(Wearing thin)
(Wearing thin)
(This the sound)

So listen up
And just let the music play
If you listen hard enough
You can hear me say

This is the sound
Of desperation (desperation)
This is the sound
Of me wearing thin
[x2]

This is the sound (over and over)
Of desperation (over and over)
This is the sound (over and over)
Of me wearing thin
