* Lyrics *

Call and I'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down

Nevermind the mannequins
Drunk in their hollow town
Drinking their spoils down, cheap imitations
The revelation is now

Yeah, you won't find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb

Counting every minute 'til the
Feeling comes crashing down
Run when it hits the ground
I'm good at escaping
But better at flaking out

Calling unanswered
The center becomes blown out
Stuck on the inside now
It's fear I'm embracing
I never could face you down

Yeah, you won't find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb

Red, red, laced around your head
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued
Cold and rescued, cold and rescued

Call and I'll answer
At home in the lost and found
You say that I'm much too proud
Someone who's taking pleasure in breaking down

Yeah, you won't find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
So you don't find me I'm going MIA
Tonight I'm leaving going MIA
Say good-bye to me I'm going MIA
I can find relief I'm going MIA
Getting lost in you again
Is better than being numb
Better than being numb
Better than playing dumb
