These are mine...

Sleep tight little darling
The world goes on without you
Sleep tight little darling
Life moves on
Sleep tight little darling
You're safe away from me
Sleep tight little darling
Safe in the arms of nothing again
Sleep tight little darling
Do your dreams echo of mine?
Sleep tight little darling
Do you miss me sleeping too?

Something's off
The world is broken
Something's missing and I don't know what
Glory won't show itself to me
Life's luster's passed me by
Beer and TV kill the time
Until the next distraction comes
And yet I've nothing to say
So I pull away
I take solace inside myself
And find there's nothing more there
I sit in conference alone
Staring at all that's lost
Missing all that's sweet
Hating all that's not mine
And I wish to make it all fade
But I can't force it to
So I'm pulling back
Taking solace inside myself
And finding nothing at all
I'm missing a breath, a longing
Aching for that ache
Yearning for - I'm not sure what...
But finding that it's you that's gone
And I don't even know who you are
But you're killing me still
Making me pull away
Making me take that solace
And making me realize
I have nothing without you.

...And these are not.

I'm not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to
ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
at all

When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around
your summer heart

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
at all

I can't be sure that this state of mine
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries
What do you think it means?

Here I stand head in hand
Turn my face to the wall
If life's gone I can't go on
Feeling two foot small
Everywhere people stare
each and every day
I can see them laugh at me
And I hear them say...
How can I even try?
I can never win
Hearing them, seeing them
In the state I'm in
How could she say to me
Love will find a way?
Gather round all you clowns
Let me hear you say...
Anything.
