Therefore I Am - No Face In The Crowd lyrics

And even her absence is a presence that stays Silence is emphasized by a radiator's shake I sit confined again, I am buried deep within Set up like stained gla** in a windowless world This is my life, eat, sleep, work, wait Day by day I calculate the shapes That tie me to this place, to this helm, to this hell Inch by inch I trace the walls as she calls But what miracle is this? Eat, sleep, work, wait There is no second I have lived that I can call my own And even her absence is a presence that stays Silence is emphasized by a radiator's shake As her still singing limbs echo in Oh, outcry, oh, outcry, love delays our king This pain is my lover, her kiss is my calling So let the water run cold for now As if Rome isn't burning behind my door In a world where we all live like teething rings I am my own worst enemy I am the house that will not set me free
