I’m alone with these
Screaming ghosts
They creep through the shadows, yeah
Find me when I’m lost and
Lost and feed
And tell me what I can’t be, I can’t be
ahhhh
And tell me what I can’t be, I can’t be
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time, you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
You have to let them go
I see their silhouettes on the walls
My brain does pirouettes ‘til I fall
Let them drag my skin and bones
Through the rain
Afraid I think I’m starting to decay
Ahhhh
Afraid I think I’m starting to decay
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
I wanna hold on, hold on, hold on
I can’t just let go, let go, let go
I’ll learn to be honest on my own
Woah, woah
With fingers crossed
Behind my back
Woah, woah
Hold on, hold on, hold on…
You’re among lying bones
Glowing eyes and teeth
They’ll salt your wounds
and leave the truth untold
You have to let them go
Losing life, they tear you down
Hold you back and spin you ‘round
You’re losing time you’ve lost yourself
You have to let them go
I wanna hold on, hold on, hold on
I can’t just let go, let go, woah woah
I’ll learn to be honest on my own
Let it go…

Denial (Acoustic)

You've really dropped the ball on this one
You've really lost it now
Made rivals out of everyone
Just try to block it out
Houston, we have a problem
The engine light is blinking
Slowly, emphatically, dying…
So you turn up the bass
Pretend it's not happening
Surely, you hear it though
Threatening in the back of your mind
You're in denial,
All walls are up
You think you're in too far
Just let yourself fall, face the facts
Stop running scared, turn back
Your arms hold nothing, empty
You've nothing to your name
You gave up without trying
There's no one left to blame
Houston, we have a problem
The engine light is blinking
Slowly, emphatically, dying…
So you turn up the bass
Pretend it's not happening
Surely, you hear it though
Threatening in the back of your mind
Houston, we have a problem
The engine light is blinking
Houston, we have a problem
The engine light is blinking
Houston, we have a problem
The engine light is blinking
Slowly, emphatically, dying…
So you turn up the bass
Pretend it's not happening
Surely, you hear it though
Threatening in the back of your mind

Monotone (Acoustic)
03:45

I've never questioned I'm enough
To get through the hardest days
I just wonder when you gave up
We'd made it through so much
I find myself in a hollow place
Where emptiness and sorrow wait
Monotone you have become
And slowly drowned me out
Silently I've been screaming
Just tell me that you're done
I find myself in a hollow place
Where emptiness and sorrow wait
Loneliness in creeping in
Through the cracks you've broken
My worth to you is wavering
And I hardly like the feeling
You treat me so unfairly
In this corner I won't stay
I find myself in a hollow place
Where emptiness and sorrow wait
Loneliness in creeping in
Through the cracks you've broken

Ever After (Acoustic)

Always knew what she wanted
Dreaming up her fairytale
Prince charming to the rescue
Coming from so far to fetch you
Up he climbs the castle wall
In through her window he'd crawl
One kiss and she's his,
Happily ever after
Her dream became a nightmare
Just the wait alone brought too much to bear
Built up how she had to have it all
But nothing ever goes right
Up and down again she falls
Instantly in love, she fell
This is how she always dreamed it
Smothered him, so away he rode
Into the sunset, alone
Now again, so let down
She could never understand
How every time she met a guy
He would leave her stranded
Her dream became a nightmare
Just the wait alone brought too much to bear
Built up how she had to have it all
But nothing ever goes right
Up and down again she falls

Fade Out (Piano Version)
03:48
|

|
Before you write me off
Allow me to introduce you
To what you thought you knew
Thought you found my dark side
Well let me shed a little light
Your arrogance is vile
Transparent, you can’t hide
You’ve run out of time
Cornering the fire
Warning before the riot
Judging what you think you see
Watching you watching me
Blinded in your mind
I’m not who you’re making me
You’re invited to invade
Pull the ring on your grenade
Let’s see how far you get,
Let’s see how fast you fade out
Let’s see how fast you fade out
You should sleep with one eye open
Branding scars on the unarmed
Your ignorance is unharmed
Don’t act alarmed I’m broken
Judging what you think you see
Watching you watching me
Blinded in your mind
I’m not who you’re making me
You’re invited to invade
Pull the ring on your grenade
Let’s see how far you get,
Let’s see how fast you fade out
You’ve lost control
You keep on runnin’ and runnin’,
You keep on runnin’
All alone
It’s all unfolding, unfolding,
It’s all unfolding, unfolding
Your end is coming soon
Cornering the fire
Warning before the riot
Smiling through these fears
Why are you still here
Judging what you think you see
Watching you watching me
Blinded in your mind
^I’m not who you’re making me
You’re invited to invade
Pull the ring on your grenade
Let’s see how far you get,
Let’s see how fast you fade out
