Return
Brian T Lyrics

There's a hole in my life
My life feels incomplete and empty

A period of nothingness
A span of time where I feel like I have achieved nothing

From October first to the twentieth
Specifically during the first twenty days of October

I'm floatin', a waste away
I feel aimless and unproductive

Broken is my confidence
I lack self-assurance and belief in myself

Loathing my infatuation over you
I despise my obsession with you

And the time I spend with the T.V. set
The moments I waste watching television

What has happened to me?
I question how I ended up in this state

I entertain myself in a ritual
I engage in repetitive activities to keep myself occupied

Searching for an open door
Seeking an opportunity for a change or escape

That leads me well away from myself
Something that can distance me from who I am

I'm a bird at heart; bathing in seven colors
I have a free spirit and enjoy vibrant experiences

I hate to come back and to face this room
I dread returning and confronting this familiar environment

As I spend my life doin' things that give me
While I dedicate my time to activities that offer me

Nothing in return
No rewards or fulfillment

I get nothing, nothing in return
I receive nothing for my efforts

And you, you're not here
You are absent from my life

Do you want it that way? I guess
Perhaps you prefer it that way

Now we're sharing this this thing called loneliness, mmm Loneliness
Now we both experience loneliness together

By ten I'm into bed, sheets are cold and the silence
When bedtime arrives, I lie in a cold bed accompanied by silence

Rings in my ear, I talk to myself
The silence feels deafening, causing me to engage in self-conversation

Oh the things I say on my way to sleep
I express thoughts and emotions as I drift off to sleep

I deny a love I was meant to keep
I reject a love that was destined to be mine

Could it be? No no
Is it possible? No, it cannot be

I get nothing, nothing in return
I receive nothing for my efforts

And you, you're not here
You are absent from my life

Do you want it that way? I guess
Perhaps you prefer it that way

Now we're sharing this this thing called loneliness
Now we both experience loneliness together

And you, you're not here
You are absent from my life

Do you want it that way? I guess
Perhaps you prefer it that way

Now we're sharing this thing called loneliness
Now we both experience loneliness together

Ooh, I hate to come back, face this room
I strongly dislike returning and confronting this space

As I spend my life doing things that give me
While I dedicate my time to activities that offer me

Nothing in return, no
No rewards or fulfillment at all

Nothing in return, that gives me
Nothing that provides me with

Nothing, nothing
Absolutely nothing

In return, return, mmm
As a result or compensation, mmm

Return, mmm
Recompense or compensation, mmm
