Side by side in a throng of people,
yet somehow I'm feeling alone
Never liked the situation
Never dealt with isolation
A desolate wasteland
teeming with countless people
It is an effort to withstand
the assault of their endless silence
The assault of their endless silence
[CHORUS] Swimming in a sea of faces
Faces moving to a sea of places
Places to go, just crowded spaces
Spaces to run in futile races
The streets might as well be empty
It's not like anyone is talking
Just hurrying on their way
Acting as if there's nothing to say
Infinite as sand,
they stream down every street
And I am witnessing firsthand
the results of their endless silence
The results of their endless silence
[CHORUS]
In a boat with just one oar
Another person they'd ignore
The tide pulls me in, but to what avail?
(x2)
Fruitlessness in success
Nothingness in surety
Hollowness in substance
Worthlessness in riches
Living, but to no avail
Living, but to no avail
(x2)
[CHORUS]
yet somehow I'm feeling alone
Never liked the situation
Never dealt with isolation
A desolate wasteland
teeming with countless people
It is an effort to withstand
the assault of their endless silence
The assault of their endless silence
Faces moving to a sea of places
Places to go, just crowded spaces
Spaces to run in futile races
It's not like anyone is talking
Just hurrying on their way
Acting as if there's nothing to say
Infinite as sand,
they stream down every street
And I am witnessing firsthand
the results of their endless silence
The results of their endless silence
[CHORUS]
Another person they'd ignore
The tide pulls me in, but to what avail?
(x2)
Nothingness in surety
Hollowness in substance
Worthlessness in riches
Living, but to no avail
Living, but to no avail
(x2)
[CHORUS]
