Cold and Mean

You are listening to the phone ring??�?? 
Like a church bell sounding out the hour.??�?? 
And the ringing cuts the silence??�?? 
Like a knife leaving little pieces left of your life.??�?? 
You are watching the night shadows grow tall s
Swallowing you in terror like the foot on the wall.??�?? 
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.??�?? 
Take me whole and take me clean.??�?? 
Take me from this reality cold and mean.??�?? 
Cold and mean.??�?? 
I can't answer I can't speak to anyone
Not until I witness the next rising of the sun.??�?? 
It's this darkness it's like a lead weight in my shoe.
I couldn't rise to answer even if I wanted to.??�?? 
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.??�?? 
Take me whole and take me clean.??�?? 
Take me from this reality cold and mean.??�?? 
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.??�?? 
Take me whole and take me clean.
Take me from this reality cold and mean.??�?? 
Shake me down to the soil of a dream.
Take me whole and take me clean.??�?? 
Take me from this reality cold and mean.??�?? 
Cold and mean.
