In my living room
On my floor
You & me
Face to face
Up close
Eye to eye
Dim light on your skin
Chorus:
Curtains drawn
Blindfolds on
I am just a shadow
but you're so whole
I look to you
to empty the hollow
It felt so real
Did you dream the same
in my living room?
Can I see you?

Use me as you always do
Tear me up with a sharpened knife
Suck my wounds & hear me scream
A beautiful nightmare just to see
Nails my hands yeah pierce my feet
Claw my skin off the bone
Slit my wrists & lick the blood
Hang me up & run me down
Pre-chorus:
No sound
No wait
No warning
Just a million razor blades in me
Chorus:
Is there really nothing else worth living for?
Is there really no one else worth dying for?
It's true
Are you really gonna drown your sanity?
Whatever happened to humanity?
What made you feel this tragedy?
It's you
White flies in flight & sweet decay
A neat place where love & death embrace
Let's see our loved ones waste right by
So you can let a tear drip down your eye
Your perfect soul is broken

So many nights
have never left me blind
We feel so alone
but our hearts are beating strong
even when our eyes give in to sleep
Chorus:
We are alive
No matter how you try
Our minds will set themselves free
We are alive
Tomorrow burns bright
You can't take that away from me
So you choose to
abandon everything you once knew
You turn & walk away
but you've crossed the line tonight
I can't help but wander
Will the wrongs ever be made right?
They say "everything in due time"
This heart is alive
& it's time to set it aflame

Seven trumpets sound
my arrival down
as I pass the gates of death
Memories are fading
can't remember how
Without time
It's all behind me now
Chorus:
This crooked scene is not what it seems
I'm stretching out but I can't seem to find it
This crooked scene is not what it seems
I'm stretching out but I can't seem to find an escape
Sweetheart,
you're a wretched thing
I am the silence that haunts your fragile bones
You're so alone
I died to let you live
with nothing but a ghost
A recurring pain
You're a picture in a broken frame
I am the haunting that breaks your brittle bones
The shadows in the corner
freezing in the negative

I hold on
I can't take it anymore
I've grown tired
I'm so alone
This place is dark & twisted
It's making me insane
I know I'm living but my body has escaped
You keep taking from me
but I stay anyway for you
To bend the hand that feeds
They stood & watched the scene
There's a clock ticking gently in the background
It foreshadows a violent wave
If I let it sink in I will drown
In my youth I faded to grey
Just a second
I can't take it anymore
Go, don't go
I've been worn down, beaten, defeated
I taught you wrong
Appreciate this
while there's still colour
Appreciate this
when it turns to black & white
Appreciate this
Your problems & your pains
Appreciate this
I'm fading to grey
I waltzed into the lobby
& lit up a cigarette
The bellboy says I'm early tonight
I smile & tip my hat
I intend to have a drink at the bar
Chorus:
Everyone leaves
The glasses are washed
& all of the lights are switched off
She turns into the alley at the back of the hotel
In the shadows she climbs
You don't have to go through it on your own
You sleep in a bed that's not even yours
When you look in the mirror
is it getting clearer that you should have never left home?
You live day by day through a fire escape
You sleep in a bed that you pray stays empty
