Belle and Sebastian and Belle - Talk to Me, Talk to Me

I'm looking through a portal
It's got eyes and a mastery of gravity
I'm lucky to be here now
I was lonely, talk to me, talk to me

I got a new perspective
The glass in my hand, it ain't exactly full
The place at my table is an empty stool, talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realize it's all for nothing
All for nothing

I'm like the bugs that sleep for years
Conditions are ripe, they fly into the sun
The spectacle gets to you
Life is always new, talk to me, talk to me

From my waking sleep, I fear
You're planning to prize yourself away from me
You're planning to exit from my misery
I can take a lot
But I'm not prepared to face the alone

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realize it's all for nothing
All for nothing

All I want is your hand on mine
Slow rubbing, ecstasy of company
I'm facing the lonely night
With my fading sight, talk to me, talk to me

Many times I faced the wall
I called for the peace and now I've got it all
Peace grows into anguish
When your heart leaks, talk to me, talk to me

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realize it's all for nothing
All for nothing

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
Scared of getting hurt again
But now I realize it's all for nothing
All for nothing

Delusions are all my present currency
They're causing the poison in my veins
And voices, hearing voices
Telling me to beat the clock
Doctor, please release me now
I can't afford to waste another second
I can't waste it

Confusion is trying to take a hold of me
All I wanted was peace inside a sanctuary
I lived my life so desperate to be in control
