Falling through my head as I try to think out time

I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so
G6 F6
There's so much that I am unsure of ..
C Bm6 Am
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
G6 F6 Dsus
My body's rejecting the cure
There's a house with no bell, but then nobody calls;
I sometimes find it hard to tell if any are alive at all outside
There's a house with no sound; yes, it's quiet there ..
There's not much point in words if there's no-one to share in time
I've learned my lines, I know them so well, I am ready to tell
Whoever will finally come in
Of the line in my mind that's cold in the night, it doesn't seem right
When there's that little dark figure running ...somebody help me
There's a house with no door and there's no living there:
One day it became a wall ... well I didn't really care at the time
There's a house with no light, all the windows are sealed
Overtaxed and strained
Now nothing is revealed but time
I don't know you, you say you know me, that may be so
There's so much that I am unsure of ..
You call my name, but it sounds unreal, I forget how I feel
My body's rejecting the cure ....
Won't somebody help me ......?
