turning the screw

i heard about how you're gone for good, i took it better than i thought i would, i am alive and awake, and i have no memory, every day i wanna disappear, i wanna be in a coma for the rest of the year, i wanna watch my friends embrace my enemies, all around in the daylight, everybody looks so much older, i was afraid you got too far along, i could see you in the distance, looking over your shoulder, and i could tell you were already gone, i turn around and another two years slip away, have a dream about a ticking clock that's, getting faster and, at night when the day is dead, i think about what i would've said, and am i gonna get a chance to go back, or am i turning the screw, i know you really want to go it alone, you tell me you can never go back home, i know you talk to the mirror when you don't want to look at me, do you remember what you had before, and can you tell it isn't there anymore, and can you see that you are what you did not want to be, all around in the daylight, everybody looks so much older, i was afraid you got too far along, i could see you in the distance, looking over your shoulder, and i could tell you were already gone, i turn around and another two years slip away, have a dream about a ticking clock that's getting faster and, at night when the day is dead, i think about what i would've said and am, i gonna get a chance to go back, or am i turning the screw, or am i turning the screw, i turn around and another two years slip away, have a dream about a ticking clock that's getting faster and, at night when the day is dead, i think about what i would've said and am, i gonna get a chance to go back, or am i turning the screw
