Drained Lyrics - Singles - James Labrie

The air's so thick, it blurs my vision 

I can't think straight, in this condition 

Dim lit hall is stretching further 

Not knowing what I might discover 

Through a door half open 

A painted light bulb swings 

Casting someone's 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 

Schizo, you see 

It's like awakening 

I'm in someone else's 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
