Guarded heart syndrome

Take all your abandoned dreams and fears somewhere,
shout them aloud,
scream them in the middle of a crowd.
This guarded heart syndrome
can shut you out of civilization
and though we can usually take care of ourselves,
there's a void thats been empty for years.
In this vast oblivion lies the fears.

Did we expect them to just come searching for us?
We can wait and wait,
assuming someone will show up
and amuse ourselves to death for awhile,
tick tock, tick tock
wake up you're dead.
