Songtext zu ' Now That We're Alone ' von The People's Thieves

How dark is it in your mind?
I won't stop until I can find the dead in all of you
And I know you're far from home
How dark is it in your mind?
I can't feel anything inside
Believe me when I say I'm alive and you're my home

I see the trouble that I caused
I feed the thoughts you never saw
But you just won't let me go
Won't let me go

Explain away the panic but veins were made for addicts
So promises of change are put in boxes in the attic
Won't let you know
Won't let you know

Don't get close, they got eyes of stone
You've been fallin' to pieces, they give them new life, new meanin'
Oh, they tend to hold, when you push they pull
But the fallin' is easy when you're numb

How dark is it in your mind?
I won't stop until I can find the dead in all of you
And I know you're far from home
How dark is it in your mind?
I can't feel anything inside
Believe me when I say I'm alive and you're my home

When did the lines all blur to gray
And you may never see them?
How can I sleep when you're awake?
What's the point in dreamin'?
I close my eyes and feel the weight
Fallin' from the ceilin'
On the floor screamin' no, oh

No tellin' what I might do
Something's in my head
That I'm not sure that I can fight through
And it haunts me, comin' back to say that it wants me now

I've always been afraid
Of the shadow in my closet
That somebody said I made up
It's inside now, tryna take over my mind now

But down this road, I don't see a ghost
It's more like a feelin' that almost keeps me from breathin'
I cannot hide from those silent eyes
They're pullin' me back in, controllin' every facet, they're askin'
How dark is it in your mind? (In you mind)
I won't stop until I can find the dead in all of you ('til I can find)
And I know you're far from home (you're far from home)
How dark is it in your mind? (Is it in your mind?)
I can't feel anything inside (anything inside)
Believe me when I say I'm alive and you're my home

When did the lines all blur to gray
And you may never see them?
How can I sleep when you're awake?
What's the point in dreamin'?
I close my eyes and feel the weight
Falling from the ceilin'
On the floor screamin' no, whoa-oh

I-I-I-I love it, stole them, take the parts and mold 'em
Makin' sure the mood will go unnoticed
So you gotta hide it, it's a suicidal mindset
Growin' 'til the roots are deep inside it
You vent so I write it

Tell me when you sit alone
Tell me when you're numb at home
Tell me all your hopes are gone
Steppin' on throats like a nihilist
Devil works loud so I'm workin' in the silence

You're prayin' that you'll change me (I know that, I know that)
And it hurts to think you made me (I go back, I go back)
And it's easiest to blame me (I shouldn't, I shouldn't)
When you track the steps you'll find the power that you gave me

Now that we're alone, friend
And all the good is broken
I'll pull down the shades and close all the doors
'Til I'm the only one controllin'
I'll close all the doors
'Til I'm the only one controllin'
I'll close all the doors
