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