I heard that you care, but I don't knowSo I don't even allow myself to think soCause maybe I've been let down one too many times beforeThe things you're saying, I don't believeBy pretending things are real, life doesn't touch meCause anything I don't want to see does not existI'm closing my mind, closing my mindBelieving half of what you seeAnd I don't careNo matter what you hear, it's easyClosing my mind, closing and throwing away the keyNow as I lie awake in my bedI can feel the silence taking shape in my headAnd it's too late for anyone to communicateI had some good friends lost on the wayWho would listen but not hear the thingsThat I saidSo now I go on living as if the world was deadI'm closing my mind, closing my mindBelieving half of what you seeAnd I don't care what you hear, it's easyClosing my mind, closing and throwing away the keyI'm closing my mind, closing my mindBelieving half of what you seeAnd I don't care what you hear, it's easyClosing my mind, closing and throwing away the keyNow as I lie awake in my bedI can feel the silence taking shape in my headIt's much too late for anyone to communicateOnce had some good friends lost on the wayWho would listen but not hear the things that I saidI can feel the silence taking shape in my headWho would listen but not hear the things that I saidSo now I go on living as if the whole world was deadSomebody help meI'm closing my mind, closing my mindBelieving half of what you seeAnd I don't care what you hear, it's easyClosing my mind, closing and throwing away the keyI'm closing my mind, closing my mindBelieve in half of what you see and none of what you hear is easyClosing my mind, closing and throwing away the keyThrowing away the keyThrowing away the keyThrowing away the keyClosing my mind and I'm throwing away the keyThrowing away the keyThrowing away the keyThrowing away the keyClosing my mind and I'm throwing away the keyThrowing away the key
