It's time to go
I'm leaving this all behind
I tread softly while keeping my head hung
It's all we know
We're screaming without a sound
You speak softly and carry a big gun
It's over now
The whispers are all around
You keep searching for something you can't find
And now time has slowed
And vanity drags you down
You keep searching for something you can't take
Send me on my way
Send me back for shame
Say my name again and I feel like I am lost
Play your game again and you'll find me empty
Say my name again and I feel like I am lost
Play your game again and I'll try no harder
You speak softly and carry a big gun
Send me on my way
Send me back for shame
I'm leaving this all behind
I tread softly while keeping my head hung
It's all we know
We're screaming without a sound
You speak softly and carry a big gun
The whispers are all around
You keep searching for something you can't find
And now time has slowed
And vanity drags you down
You keep searching for something you can't take
Send me back for shame
Say my name again and I feel like I am lost
Play your game again and you'll find me empty
Say my name again and I feel like I am lost
Play your game again and I'll try no harder
You speak softly and carry a big gun
Send me on my way
Send me back for shame
