lyrics

When the light grows dim
The shadows merge into him
He knows more than I want to share
A burning incense in the air
Takes my eyes to the horizon line
The mirror that I hide behind
Tends to crack and split in two
The jagged glass lays in my room
He's a ritual
He's a phantom
He's my fault

I'm on the verge of what you could be
Underneath the surface
Beginning in your blood
So close to everything
That seems to matter in this world
I'll let you fool yourself
We are one and the same

I've turned off
The voices screaming in your ear
A pale imitation
The life you want to lead
With every moment
Friends becoming strangers now
You don't have to notice
The shifting of the frame

No
I'll get you out
But you'll be back
Another round
The gate is close to breaking
And I don't think I can hold on much longer
Maybe a taste for the aching
You're the easy way out

When my fears eclipse my fight
I come to you every night
To forget the blame
I need more love than I can ever have for myself
While I have so much to share for those who will take

Yes
Come over and take apart in me
Your final hope when
Tomorrow can't be found
Off in the distance
A familiar figure in the crowd
To get you to that place
That you can never stay

No
I'll get you out
But you'll be back
Another round
The gate is close to breaking
And I don't think I can hold on much longer
Maybe a taste for the aching
You're the easy way out

If I say I've won then I've already lost
Forgive the itch but it's coming across my mind
And heaven's just a wasting away
This is how I pray

Maybe I want to be broken
Maybe I want to be safe
Maybe I want to be open
Maybe it's already too late
It's too late
