Talking Pictures

Lyrics for Talking Pictures

Then it was dark, and quiet, like the world had been put to bed But I knew after what I'd seen, that I could never go to sleep again When the lights go low you see just how alone you are As far as I walked, it seemed I hadn't gotten anywhere And when I looked behind me, I saw it all fade into the air Just the faces, froze, laughing in their pale glow So happily comatose, flat like a neon rose And now I know things they'll never know And I'm going somewhere, somewhere they can't go I've seen what, seen what I've got inside I've got to take it through to the other side She said, "Once you've seen the world changed Nothing will ever seem the same again" There is something true deep in my mind Something I've got to go down and find It starts to rain then as I walk They're all just pictures that can talk Living trapped inside a frame, out here I don't even have a name But I know, I know things they'll never know And I'm going, going somewhere they can't go I've seen what, seen what I've got inside I've got to take it through to the other side So I keep walking, walking into the unknown But I'm so scared, I'm so afraid to go Mother find me, mother I'm lost here all alone But I know I've got to, got to get there on my own I asked the pictures where to go, they stared back at me like stones Warm like bodies but so cold, so full of veins but got no roll A world of strangers staring back, still plugged in, but can't Connect If you can't see me, am I even here? If you turned me off, would I disappear? I wish I could stay, but I've played this game Where every single day is the same It's so hard to walk on, by yourself Through the paragons of nothingness And I know, I know things they'll never know And I'm going, going somewhere they can't go I've seen what, seen what I've got inside I've got to take it through to the other side
