Frequency

Wake up in a hole, it's burning cold

The mirror's just a mouth that won't let go

Ugly voices crowd my shrinking skin

Crawl inside, but you can't get in

And the silence, it's a thief

Draining marrow from my teeth

Every shadow knows my name

But no one ever stays

I'm calling out through a burned out radio

Feeling for a frequency nobody knows

Bleeding into me in a cage of smoke

Reaching for the sky and swinging from an oak

I wear regret like a hand-me-down

Squeezing me tight, make a father drown

Every word tastes bitter on my tongue

Every song I sing feels half-unsung

And the distance, it's a drug

Keeps me sober, keeps me numb

Every face I dream away

Is another I betrayed

I'm calling out through a burned out radio

Feeling for a frequency nobody knows

Bleeding into me in a cage of smoke

Reaching for the sky and swinging from an oak

If you find me, break me open

Spill the poison, leave me broken

I don't need a prayer, I just need a hand

Pull me out before I 'm lost in sand

I'm calling out through a burned out radio

Reaching for a frequency nobody knows

Bleeding into me in a cage of smoke

Reaching for the sky and swinging from an oak

All my echoes fade away

Nothing left but what I couldn't say

Lonely songs in a hollow radio

Still waiting for a soul to show
