[Verse 1]
Can I be somewhere when I'm nowhere?
Gaze through a diabetic eye
Can I put down the right to be put down?
And never known the right to try
[Verse 2]
I'd leave and take my pride with me
And find something I could carry it in
But all that breaks the stillness here
Is the sound of a dropping pin
[Chorus]
From the silence
Deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin
From the silence
Deep within
Yeah, deep, deep within
Comes the sound
The sound of a dropping pin
[Verse 3]
Can I be something when I'm nothing?
Build my hopes and dreams too high
I've searched too long for all the answers
Let alone the right to try
[Verse 4]
To think that you can take it with you
Is the one unforgivable sin
But all that breaks the stillness now
Is the sound of a dropping pin
[Chorus]
