Drained - Lyrics - James Labrie

The air's so thick It blurs my vision I can't think straight In this condition This dim lit hall Is stretching further Not knowing What I might discover Through a door half open A painted light bulb swings Casting someones shadow Reaching towards me Something draws me here Not sure Feeling Drained Still I am curious Haunts me Taunts me Now I start to Gravitate Remain composed I hear some laughter The darkness in me Moving faster A handle turned A door is opened Ashtrays Cigarettes still smoking And there again before me The painted light bulb swings And see I cast the shadow The one I saw moving Cannot catch my breath Can't cope His face turns toward me Can't be Not me The man in the mirror It's all too clear As I stood there Acknowledged him In reflective glare I don't quite understand Why any of this Is who I am I'm damned cause I doubt It's part of me Trick of the mind *** you see It's like awakening I'm in Someone elses skin Molds me Holds me Controlled Left me Drained and empty Transformed Shifting I peer inside Like quicksand You pulled me Down deeper All twisted inside of me
