Verse 1:
Another mourning for all that has passed
We sing softly for no one to hear
An empty elegy, for I'm still left behind
Rising from the reckage, I'm yet undefined
Verse 2:
Listen to the rain fall again
It reminds me of a time when it was right
You've become so numb, you don't know me
Suspended above me, out of my reach
Pre-chorus:
See how I =lie
Chorus:
Oh, could you take me somewhere?
Oh, can you wake me, please
With a second embrace?
Let's just pretend
Cuz it'll never even happen
Oh, will it break me?
Or will it save me?
With a second embrace
Let's just pretend
Cuz it'll never even happen
Verse 3:
I don't know what the outcome may be
But as far as I know, I'm never coming down
Till we reach the bottom of this plague
It keeps us lying from everyone
Pre-chorus:
See how I lie
Chorus
Bridge:
Holding my heart of stone
In both my hands, it feels cold
These words I've erased
Can still be seen through the new writing
Chorus 2x to outro
