the shades are all around me
crawling and screaming and waiting to see
the blood on my chest, how I faint and can‘t rest
so they can eat the nervous noise inside
I can see the blood in your eyes
I can see your hands on the knives
so dress up like a ghost
push your fingers down your throat
so give me the fire and give me the light
all that I‘ve seen shall burn tonight
so take them away from me
I‘m crying and spinning, unable to breathe
just reach inside the heart
just make it stop, so it won‘t tear my lungs apart
can‘t you see the broken words?
I can give you nothing more
please let me breathe, please let me breathe
just one more night, and then I‘ll leave
so give me the fire and give me the light
all that I‘ve been will burn tonight
this is no parade
there will be no black flags

I know your eyes, they betrayed me so many times before
you got poison on your lips, my blood on your fingertips
so hang me head first, let my lungs burst, until I put on my smile forever
all the time / I know your voice my dear
it was you / even the ghosts are sleeping in here
all the time / I could give you more, you could be pure
it was you / let my heart burn out - once more
all the time it was you
I‘ve seen you cry, through the water and through the sky
so bleed me dry, calm your heart, you know we‘re never going home
all the time / I know your voice my dear
it was you / even the ghosts are sleeping in here
all the time / I could give you more, you could be pure
it was you / let my heart burn out - once more
once more
all the time / I know your voice my dear
it was you / even the ghosts are sleeping in here
all the time / I could give you more, you could be pure
it was you / let my heart burn out - once more
once more

Wrap your hands around me
‘cause I have been just here before
this smile should have been mine this time
our knives are still sharper still sharper than our eyes
tonight, I promise that I‘ll take your heart down
and this is just how far you‘ll go
and this ist just all I‘ll know
this smile should have been mine
you were tought that you are everything, that you are more than me
I am waiting to believe, let me see, let me down
and this is just how far you‘ll go / give up the lights
and this ist just all I‘ll know / give up the lights
did you forget to sleep? I am waiting to believe
did you forget to sleep? I am here to defeat
hold up the flags, give up the lights
hold up the flags, give me your eyes for all those nights
I‘ll take you down
and this is just how far you‘ll go
and this ist just all I‘ll know
this smile should have been mine
I am waiting to believe

I know you‘ve seen your blood
but you have not seen enough
and all the shards in your mouth
just need to be choked out
and so I‘m waiting on
to complete me
and so I‘m waiting on
to believe me
it‘s 186-152-97

through the bars ouf your cage, I can see you breathe
all the scars break your rage upon this lost belief
she spoke of water
I skin myself to sleep
turn your eyes aside, give your heart away
cut the wrist, turn it back, calm the twist, slip and crack
calm the noise inside, breathe right through me
dry the eyes, fill the chest, reach inside and burn the rest
let us forget and disappear
and the names fall apart and shatter on your skin
wash your hands, go to sleep, I‘ve seen the glitch within
she spoke of water
turn your eyes aside, give your heart away
cut the wrist, turn it back, calm the twist, slip and crack
calm the noise inside, breathe right through me
dry the eyes, fill the chest, reach inside and burn the rest
trust me - leave the inside
leave me - from the inside
center your eyes, let me lie down, for fear and demise spin me around
center your eyes, let me lie down, for fear and demise
the shades will stay around
turn your eyes aside, give your heart away
cut the wrist, turn it back, calm the twist, slip and crack
calm the noise inside, breathe right through me
dry the eyes, fill the chest, reach inside and burn the rest
now
I should have known

give us the temper, the silence, the wisdom, the eyes
give us the gods, the patience, the money, the lies
no tomorrow, no yesterday
I am nervous, I am weak, I am restless, I‘m in sleep
drown my hands inside my eyes, give me up for all your lies
step inside the burning home - with bruises on your back
no regrets, nothing said, this is the future we‘ve never had
so give us the temper, the silence, the wisdom, the eyes
give us the gods, the patience, the money and the lies

so we‘ll just be breathing
until the skies enlight
who are you to blame the leaving?
did you forget to sleep tonight?
pour this shades on me
believe - trust - speak
retrieve - last - seek
pour this shades on me
this heart is not done
pour these shades on me
I‘ll just stare into the sun
why do you cry?

slow the lights down, just once more, once more
rememeber the first time you‘ve seen your own blood
once more, just once more
we have all been here so many times
tricks and demons in the hours, in the last light of the street
slip right through me, just come back and see
scars and scissors, truth has been told, trials were served
we are back just where we began
once more, just once more
slip into me
just come back to sleep
repeat, repeat, repeat, once more
we have walked so far
we have all been here so many times
so tell me
why do you cry?
let me fear tomorrow
let me fear the sun
(please let this end)
