| «Lights off as ever the road to sleep
|
| Is closed for thought, you’re welcome to visit me, babe
|
| In the meantime it’d be nice to see you
|
| But I know you’ve been trying to keep your demons at bay
|
| Too late we can darken the darkest rooms
|
| To test your strength, you’re so proud of the things you’re not doing
|
| We’ve been through this, you say you won’t do them
|
| Like you couldn’t though we both know
|
| You’ve done them with me babe
|
| Well regardless it’s been nice to see you
|
| I know you’ve been trying to keep your demons at bay
|
| To keep us at bay
|
| To keep me in bay"
|
| Take me away darling family
|
| I feel like I’m losing a thread
|
| When I’m alone with my vanity
|
| I go back to striving after wind
|
| 'Til I could trade our happiness for a melody
|
| And someone to sing it with me
|
| We’re like our lovers
|
| We love our children
|
| Nothing to see here
|
| Nothing to hear, listen
|
| We’re just pretending
|
| We want more freedom
|
| Nothing to see here
|
| Nothing to hear, listen
|
| When I first met you dear family
|
| I had so much time on my hands
|
| No one to question my vanity
|
| Or keep me from striving after wind
|
| Everything was meaningless but these melodies
|
| That keep coming to me:
|
| We’re like our lovers
|
| We love our children
|
| Nothing to see here
|
| Nothing to hear, listen
|
| We’re just pretending
|
| We want more freedom
|
| Nothing to see here
|
| Nothing to hear, listen
|
| It’s 4 a. |
| m
|
| Our families are sleeping
|
| We’re all alone
|
| Our demons are hissing
|
| «What if you’re wrong?
|
| You might be wrong
|
| What if you’re wrong?
|
| You might be
|
| What if you’re wrong?
|
| You might be wrong
|
| What if you’re wrong?
|
| You might be
|
| What if you’re wrong?
|
| Is it all your fault?
|
| Has it been too long?
|
| Is this all for naught?
|
| Are you so far gone
|
| That you can’t get caught?
|
| And what if you’re wrong?
|
| ‘Cause you might be
|
| I know you think that you can keep your feelings in the dark
|
| Calling every heart a spade and every spade a heart
|
| Even as the dreams you’ve been burying alive
|
| Start to dig each other up in the dead of night
|
| Now they’re marching from the cemetery to your bed
|
| I’m on your shoulder warning you they’re coming for your head
|
| You’re saying «get behind me, you’re the devil’s spawn»
|
| But listen to me, that wouldn’t make me wrong
|
| Do you doubt me?
|
| You doubt me
|
| Babe I’ve been down this road a time or two before
|
| It’s paved with intentions every bit as good as yours
|
| Takes you away from what you wish you didn’t want
|
| So it must be right, right? |
| Ha!
|
| Why don’t you ask your family why you’re working like a dog
|
| Who thinks he’s getting paid in credit at the butcher shop
|
| Or you could ask the queen of the ones who got away
|
| Who can’t remember why she chose your rival by the way
|
| Maybe you’ve already dug yourself too deep a hole
|
| Mining for the pretty things that satisfy your soul
|
| A soul it sounds like I’ll be getting for a song
|
| I hope you’re ready, you better hope I’m wrong
|
| As I might be" |
