Songs in another language

[Verse 1] i write songs in another language, but the words don't help me get out, my friends listen but they don't hear, they don't want to know that i'm trapped and i have nothing to break the glass with. words don't help me free myself. i'm terrified because the words might leave me and then i'll be left in a ringing box of loneliness. [Refrain 1] i'd choose the emptiness of space i'd choose a flight into the unknown i'd choose the religion of searching i'd like to find meaning in something [Verse 2] i write songs in another language, but the words don't help me get out, my friends listen but they don't hear, they don't want to know that i'm trapped and i have nothing to break the glass with. words don't help me free myself. i'm terrified because the words might leave me and then i'll be left in a ringing box of loneliness. [Refrain 2] I would choose the warmth of your palms I would choose a drop of sympathy I would choose someone who knows how to listen I would like to learn how to leave a mark
