you let me wonder
now i'll let you burn
i promise nothing
but still you return to me

realities beating
a grave has been dug
i'm looking for something
to rise up above

chasing the spades and the arrows
only knowing dark inside you
you'll never be alone as long as i am here
so run baby, run baby

i am tempted here
i am the hunter, i am the prey
though you're ten thousand years
every moment remains

white lie
one last call until we say goodbye
save these cruel intentions for another night
i'll be there, and i still won't know why, why?
why do I try?

you're living but you've got no soul
you captivate but you hold no weight at all
so watch as i start to smile

and you said it's over
and i kept trying
i never thought you could damage me more

so you smile, i see your smile, and i cry
drag me under, drag me down, and i try
the surface will not let you take my smile
for i am strong, i can be stronger than life

secrets and lies, cold war kisses
all the lipstick stains are in your mind
you dreamed you could trick me senseless
not for you this devil in disguise

you're tripping over every fault of mine
you're breaking open every single time
it's never black and white, no
going seismic out of spite, oh

hook your fingers to the wall
proudly wear your crown of thorns
but leave me with the war
leave me with the war

well the road is getting narrow, and we're getting to the brink
pink and yellow, it's closer than you might think
you don't control me, so keep your hands to yourself
and you don't own me, you never have
