In this death I've lived an empty life
And in my mind
I know I can't go on this way
And in my heart I've tried so hard
But now that will has died
In this death I've lived an empty life
And I'll be dead before I'm wiser
I've been down too long to hear
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be smiling ear to ear
I'm not proud of what I'm doing
But I'm too proud to let you near
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be far too gone to hear
In this room I've seen an empty view
And with these eyes
I've seen the damage to myself
And though it all I've hid my shame
But now it's wearing through
In this room I've seen an empty view
And I'll be dead before I'm wiser
I've been down too long to hear
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be smiling ear to ear
I'm not proud of what I'm doing
But I'm too proud to let you near
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be far too gone to hear
And when I'm gone will anybody care
And when I'm far away
Will anyone be there to set me free
In this death I've lived an empty life
And I'll be dead before I'm wiser
I've been down too long to hear
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be smiling ear to ear
Smiling ear to ear
I'm not proud of what I'm doing
But I'm too proud to let you near
Proud to let you near
When the roof comes crumbling down
I'll be far too gone to hear
