I live behind mirrors within a prison without any bars

Yet I remain lost to the world

In hell I’m suspended within a prism

Too often I’ve watched them die

Images of yesterday feeling so far away

I can’t let go of the past, the years, the sweet romance

I need you more tonight than you will ever know
C#m B D#m
I swear to never forget this heartbreaking dance

Take me away (I’m ready, I’ll be home soon)

If I had just one wish

Bababda Bababda Baaaa

I’d choke prophets, hang angels, burn children

breathe in, breathe out

we could run far away but then how would we sleep at night?

Hold on to fleeting hopes that I just might survive

Give in to the pleasure

Hold on hold on to everything we are
