I hold my breath and I count to ten
I close my eyes, I can feel you bent around me
Pierce right through like a ballpoint pen
You leave your mark underneath my skin
And I already know, your hands are getting cold
When you hold me like a trophy you won, forgot, and sold
Say you have to go, this is how it goes
When it's not real, we pretend that this is what we want
So I count to ten
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around me
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around
Everything is bottled up inside me
Tip me over like a glass on the edge
Blooming like a rose inside, I'm dying
Just waiting while I hold my breath
And I count to ten
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around me
(And I count to ten)
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around me
Real, I, real, night, at night
Real, I, real, all around
I close my eyes and I count to nine
Didn't make it all the way to ten this time
Staring at a wall that's bare and white
The sound of silence keeps me up at night
Night, at night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night
Keeps me up at night
Night, at night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night, night
Night, night, night
Night, at night, night, night
Keeps me up at night
