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