Five Weeks, Five Days, and Seventeen Hours

Why did you leave
Turn your back on me
Make me cry at night
Nothing's been alright
I called on you
To help me through
This dark oblivion
You left me in

It's been five weeks, five days, and seventeen hours
Why haven't you come back to me?

I close my eyes and all I see is you
I can't seem to shut it out
This pounding in my head
Is filling me with dread
I can't climb out of this hole
I'm rotting in this cell
Get me out of this hell

The light is fading
In water I'm wading
Keeping sharks at bay
Won't you come out and play
I've screamed myself hoarse
My boat's off course
You've left me here to die
On this painful roller coaster ride

I close my eyes and all I see is you
I can't seem to shut it out
This pounding in my head
Is filling me with dread
I can't climb out of this hole
I'm rotting in this cell
Get me out of this hell

It's been a while
Since I've heard your voice
It's been a while
Since you've made your choice
It's been a while
Since my ship has set to sea

It's been five weeks, five days, and seventeen hours
Why haven't you come back to me?

I close my eyes and all I see is you
I can't seem to shut it out
This pounding in my head
Is filling me with dread
I can't climb out of this hole
I'm rotting in this cell
Get me out of this hell
