â just grab a hold of my hand . â  â  somewhere deep in the dark a howling beast hears us talk . â â  i dare you to close your eyes . â â  you love love love when you know i canât love you .  â  â  after every sunny day , comes a stormy night . â  â  youâre my king & iâm your lionheart . â  â  breathe in , breathe out . let the human in . â  â  my head is an animal . â  â  all the trouble i have caused with my two hands . â â & weâre far , far home but weâre so happy . â  â  we used to play outside when you were young and full of life and full of love . â  â  i watched you disappear . â  â  itâs best we both forget before we dwell on it . â  â  as i looked around i began to notice we are nothing like the rest . â  â thereâs an old voice in my head thatâs holding me back . â  â  are you really going to love me when iâm gone ? â  â  iâm shaking like a leaf . â  â  can you chase this fire away ? â  â  but i tried , oh , i tried . â  â  just let me go & weâll meet again soon . â  â  we wonât run . â  â  itâs killing me to see you this way . â  â  iâm a crook for not caring for it . â   â  the stairs creak as you sleep , itâs keeping me / you awake . itâs the house telling me / you to close your eyes . â  â  donât listen to a word i say . â  â  as the world comes to an end iâll be here to hold your hand .  â  â  please hang around . â  â  i can see through you . â  â  itâs perfectly strange . â  â  hungry for the kill , but this hunger , it isnât you . â  â  we are the same .  â  â  some days i donât know if i am wrong or right . â  â  you can follow me .  â  â  some days I canât even dress myself . â  â  why are you shaking your head ? â  â  iâm all out of breath . â â  your mind is playing tricks on you , my dear . â    â  i am a killer . â  â  i take off my face because it reminds me how it all went wrong . â  â  darker days are raining over me . â  â  my blood runs red but my body feels so cold . â  â  i am the storm . â  â  please look away , donât look at me . â  â  i heard them calling in the distance . â  â  i am sorry for the trouble , i suppose . â  â  i need nothing . â  â  i know that itâs a waste of time , chasing in the dark . â  â  youâre cold against the skin . â  â  & i run , i run , i run . â  â  the way you held me so tight âŚÂ all through the night ⌠â  â  you & i will not be shaken ! â  â  stop , i will take control . â  â  you scream , you scratch , you bite . â  â  the books that i keep by my bed are full of your stories . â  â  iâll meet your eyes for the very first time , for the very last . â  â  let go , lay to rest . â  â  maybe iâm a bad , bad , bad , bad person . well , baby , i know . â  â  these fingertips will never run through your skin . â  â  i will lead you through this wonderland . â â  water up to my knees , but sharks are swimming in the sea . â â  ignore all those big warning signs . â â  you have scars & some scratches . it makes me wonder about your past . â â  the light is blinding my eyes . â â  i push you away , although I wish you could stay . â â  iâm never ready . â â  time wonât let me show what i want to show . â â  all eyes on me . â â  i spend my night dancing with my own shadow . â â  i packed my things & ran . â
