We’re all scared that we’ve finally missed the boat
It’s like an epidemic that’s hit the lives of everyone around me
I’ve felt the same as many have before
I’ve watched the drowning going on around here and I don’t like it at all

And you do all you can
When you can’t sleep at night
And there’s a shadow on your wall
and it will come swallow you whole
because your longing will become you

I am guilty of the facts
I have cried for hours just because these walls deceive me
The trouble is that we’re all after the same thing
There’s just not enough of the good stuff to go around and I wonder what they will leave me

And you do all you can
When you can’t sleep at night
And there’s a shadow on your wall
and it will come swallow you whole
because your longing will become you

It will become you.
