I heard the sound of dreaming
the silence in the stale heat
I woke up as the sun was setting down
and all I wanted was something
to let the feeling stay
all I wanted was nothing
but I realized it too late
because I know something's got a hold on me
and I can't let it go
the spider in the empty drawer
that I planned to fill
until I thought of all the time caught in the web
and all I wanted was something
to take these fears away
all I wanted was nothing
but I realized it too late
because I know that gravity's got a hold on me
and I can't let it go
