Can You Hear Me Now?

We're all lccked away
In our tiny rooms
Little princes holding sway
In these silent tombs
But I'm reaching out to you

Been living in my head
There's nowhere else to go
Try to push away the dread
And then I watch it grow
I'm reaching out to say hello

Can you hear me now
Can you see me now
Can you feel me now
You getting what I said

The world is turning
But there's nothing here that's normal
And we're all trapped in our boxes
I'm about to go out of my head

I'm staring through the pane
Been here all morning long
On the street it's all the same
Whole world knows something's wrong
I want to know you're staying strong

Can you hear me now
Can you see me now
Can you feel me now
You getting what I said

The world's still turning
But there's nothing here that's normal
And we're all trapped in our boxes
I'm about to go out of my head

Can you hear me now
Can you see me now
Can you feel me now
You getting what I said

The world is burning
But there's no way back to normal
And we're all in little boxes
I'm about to go out of my head

Can you hear me now
Can you see me now
Can you feel me now
You getting what I'm sending

I'm so tired of the sensation that I'm slipping
And it feels just like
It feels just like the world is ending
