You Can't Make Me Stay
My eyes may be open
But my thoughts are not there
My lips may be moving
But I really don't care
My heart may be beating
But I know that it's dead
The book may be open
But the words have all fled
No one wants to talk
No one wants to hear
I just want to be alone
To sit alone in fear
A useless body
Lying among the dead
Waiting to be used again
Or thrown away instead
Once was enough
And I'm not going back
Not going to return
Not going to react
But my thoughts are not there
My lips may be moving
But I really don't care
My heart may be beating
But I know that it's dead
The book may be open
But the words have all fled
No one wants to talk
No one wants to hear
I just want to be alone
To sit alone in fear
A useless body
Lying among the dead
Waiting to be used again
Or thrown away instead
Once was enough
And I'm not going back
Not going to return
Not going to react
