Ren McLean - Nowhere to Be Found Lyrics

The painter in my head
Paints my haunted dreams
Brushstrokes of dread
And a portrait of me
Standing at the edge
All I hear are echoes
They beg for this to end
But I can't let go
But I let go
And you're nowhere to be found
Silence has never been such a sweet sound
Checked the gravesite I dug straight down
And you're nowhere to be found
No you're nowhere to be found
Fought tooth and nail to get here
The ground I walked volcanic
I choked on ash and tears
But I was careful and did not swallow panic
Fingers recoil into fists to soil the cracks
Six feet below but I fear you'll crawl right back
But you're nowhere to be found
Silence has never been such a sweet sound
Checked the gravesite I dug straight down
And you're nowhere to be found
No you're nowhere to be found
So cry me a river of words
Your lies they splinter like driftwood
And I won't drink from these wells
That's where the venom truly dwells
So clench your claws 'round my neck
Such phantom pains had me a wreck
That's all they are myths of mind
Myths you had me follow blind
A stubborn fool that you are
Stone dead with a beating heart
But life is well on higher ground
Cause you're nowhere to be found
