Stay out of the shadows
I hope you know, this heart can't take it anymore
Stay out of the shadows
You just might find this world has a cold dark touch
I watch you fade away
to a place where lives are lost
season after season this mask regenerates
to cover the abrasions your body has sustained
We carried you for too long
Now this back is about to break
I wish these arms were stronger
but I can't bear the weight
7 years and counting
we lived this masquerade
But now the party is over
they are all out of your champagne
These silhouettes are moving in and out
Like headhunters, you dug yourself a grave
It's just too hard to watch you fall apart
I used to think this could all work out
Give me faith
Show me some kind of sign
So I know you're still alive
Give me faith
Show me some kind of sign
So I know that you can hear me behind those diamond eyes!
We carried you for too long
Now this back is about to break
I wish these arms were stronger
but I can't bear the weight
7 years and counting
we lived this masquerade
But now the party is over
they are all out of your champagne
These silhouettes are moving in and out
Like headhunters, you dug yourself a grave
it's just too hard to watch you fall apart
I used to think this could all work out
Stay out of the shadows
I hope you know, this heart can't take it anymore
Stay out of the shadows
You just might find this world has a cold dark touch
