Someone's gonna fall in love in here tonight Someone's gonna let their guard down one last time Maybe they once locked eyes Perhaps they just decide But someone's gonna fall in love in here tonight In a dark room with our secrets Thinking no one sees but still they always know Whisper to me softly, "I'm yours" Until we know that it's time to leave Act as if this is forever Assume the roles we could never be 'Cause all these friends of mine Would like to think that they've found the one But tell me that with us it's different Tell me that we've just begun Someone's going home alone again tonight A quiet drive back to a cold house down the road With nobody left to fight And no one to hold you tight Someone's going home alone again tonight In a dark room with our secrets Thinking no one sees but still they always know Whisper to me softly, "I'm yours" Until we know that it's time to leave Act as if this is forever Assume the roles we could never be 'Cause all these friends of mine Would like to think that they've found the one But tell me that with us it's different Tell me that we've just begun Whisper to me softly, "I'm yours" Until we know that it's time to leave Act as if this is forever Assume the roles we could never be 'Cause all these friends of mine Would like to think that they've found the one But tell me that with us it's different Tell me that we've just begun

Ten feet tall behind your wall Telling yourself that you're not small Roll yourself into a tight ball You can't be lost if you've gone AWOL You've never had one question So comfortable living life so certain Let me tell you about this then No one really knows the truth No, not you There are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't shade your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than these Closed up minds are hearty seeds So plant yourself a gallows tree Bury your head so you won't see The truth you hide is the truth you seek Feed it fiction and lies Oh, how it grows The roots are all shallow Hide yourself up inside And on it goes Reaping from the cell you sow There are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't shade your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than these Is it all an oddity? Are we flakes of empty dust Spinning on a ball of rust? Maybe But the light is ours to see You had eyes, but sowed them shut But that feeling in your gut won't fade Is it all a tragedy? Are we flashes in a rut Going in and out of luck? Maybe But the answers will not change Even when they're covered up All these questions in your gut Won't fade And there are monsters in the sky There are demons in the sea I have seen them with my eyes I've seen what you won't see Pull the wool out from your eyes It won't change your frail belief In the end we cannot hide There are other worlds than Worlds than these

There's something in the air Burning ions in the oxygen are all aglow A feeling everywhere Premonitions of the storm that comes, but I won't go I'm done running towards The eyes of tornadoes Pretending this is home I breathe in the atmosphere Let it wash over my fear Of these heights as I transcend And become whole again I breathe in the atmosphere Let it take me out of here I won't live life in the rain Waiting on the sky to change (Waiting on the sky to change) I've been frozen since that day I saw my clear blue skies as they turned to gray in front of me It's hard to find my way Can I rise above when giving up is all I know? I'm done running towards The eyes of tornadoes Pretending this is hope I breathe in the atmosphere Let it wash over my fear Of these heights as I transcend And become whole again I breathe in the atmosphere Let it take me out of here I won't live life in the rain Waiting on the sky to change (And the water's rising) (And the water's rising) And the water's rising Going deaf from the sound of rain And the water's rising I won't drown in the flood you made And the water's rising Going deaf from the sound of rain And the water's rising I won't drown in the flood you made I breathe in the atmosphere Let it wash over my fear Of these heights as I transcend And become whole again I breathe in the atmosphere Let it wash over my fear Of these heights as I transcend And become whole again I breathe in the atmosphere Let it take me out of here I won't live life in the rain Waiting on the sky to change Waiting on the sky to change Waiting on the sky to change Waiting on the sky to change Waiting on the sky to change

Show me your insides Show me your secrets Show me what you desire I can fake it Show what you wanted So I can be it And if I bend just right I can make it I didn't want you I wanna watch you change From a butterfly and into chains Lay your heart into my perfect machine I will show you what you wanted to see Just a mirror 'til I get what I need The reverie was not of me You never saw nothing Never saw nothing I'm just a liar Without deceiving I'm just a broken clown Make believing I should've let you know You should've ran for cover I'm just a parlor trick A two-bit counterfeit Lay your heart into my perfect machine I will use it to protect you from me I will never let you see what's beneath So good for you and good for me We told ourselves we're right where we ought to be Even you know Even you know This was all for nothing Just a sad show Just an ego I suppose though As far as I know We were both pretending I suppose so But what do I know? Even you know Even you know This was all for nothing Just a sad show Just an ego I suppose though As far as I know We were both pretending I suppose so But what do I know?

I lost myself into the night And I flew higher Than I had ever, but I still felt small I clipped my wings and fell from flight To open water And floated farther away from myself And I swam in the wakes of imposters Just to feel what it's like to pretend There's no dreams in the waves, only monsters And the monsters are my only friends They're all that I was And never could be Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming You found me drifted out to sea It's automatic It's telepathic, you always knew me And you laugh as I search for a harbor As you point where your halo had been But the light in your eyes has been squandered There's no angel in you in the end And all that I was I've left behind me Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Now I wait this metamorphosis All that is left is the change Selfish fate, I think you made me this Under the water I wait Eyes in the dead still water Tried but it pushed back harder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming Knives in the backs of martyrs Lives in the burning fodder Cauterized and atrophied This is my unbecoming

I saw it in your eyes I saw the creature deep inside You opened up your cage Pathetic insect Drawn to flame I'm falling apart Inside your holographic heart Lost souls dancing And now the lie's collapsing There's something inside you that isn't right There's something that haunts your dreams at night There's something that you have lost And you're bringing it down You're bringing it down On top of us I see the crimson thief Hanging on heartstrings Dripping bleach Victim with hands in sleeves Your lying swan sings As I reach I'm falling apart Inside your holographic heart Lost souls dancing And now the lie's collapsing There's something inside you that isn't right There's something that haunts your dreams at night There's something that you have lost And you're bringing it down You're bringing it down On top of us Silly me. I thought I had it I came so close this time I knew your heart was plastic I still thought I could make it mine Surrender you my mind Your creature is inside Devouring, devouring me alive There's something inside you that isn't right There's something that haunts your dreams at night There's something that you have lost And you're bringing it down You're bringing it down On top of us
