When the time for talking's over and the silences begun
You can't come up for air and the words have all been done
When you're out of time, losing every breath
Out of your mind and out of more than only depth
You can't face the music so let it fade
You can't win or lose if you won't play
When the only sound that's left is the blood rush in your ears
And the phone-lit face of a stranger who won't hear
Who leaves you speechless for anything you say
For all your useless power, you're angry and afraid
You can't hear the sentence if you don't wait
You can't do the time if you're away
Use safe mode, it's easy that way
Cut loose and hide away
Pull the plug and pretend that you can't hear
It's bad advice that won't save your life
I'm sick of losing losing fights
Close your eyes and turn away from your fear
Where's the sense in messages, let them all stay blue
If you try to answer, you'll have to use words to tell the truth
It's not worth the time, bury your head
Hole up in the sand, pretend you're dead
Use safe mode, it's easy that way
Cut loose and hide away
Pull the plug and pretend that you can't hear
It's bad advice that won't save your life
I'm sick of losing losing fights
Close your eyes and turn away from your fear
