Taking back all the things I've said, my hearts still beating like the living dead Woah-oh-oh-oh, where we’re going tonight depends on who’s holding the scythe So grab your torches and grab your lights, find a sense of hope to sail into the night Woah-oh-oh-oh, where we’re going tonight depends on who's holding the scythe With sharks like knives and pens of our lies I’ll write you a symphony of a man who lived underneath a sea of his lies With sharks like knives and pens of our lies I’ll write you a symphony of a man who lived underneath, underneath And all in time, you will find, the wreckage I call my mind And I’ll sail the seven seas on frail wings to find the shores of entropy I know that is a certainty It’s enough to throw it all away, on a cast away stretch where we once laid Where the waves don’t move and the trees they never bloom We watched the seconds elapse, we watch the moon eclipse As I said, have faith in us With sharks like knives and pens of our lies I’ll write you a symphony of a man who lived underneath a sea of his lies With sharks like knives and pens of our lies I’ll write you a symphony of a man who lived underneath, underneath And all in time, you will find, the wreckage I call my mind And I’ll sail the seven seas on frail wings to find the shores of entropy I know that is a certainty Take me back to the nights when we were so young, and we grabbed all the stars from where they hung, and they told us all their stories of how they fell to us It was a beautiful hell, I don’t mind cos I’m sitting entwined with you and I’m kind of fine, yeah Take me back to the nights when we were so young, and we grabbed all the stars from where they hung, and they told us all their stories of how they fell to us It was a beautiful hell, I don’t mind cos I’m sitting entwined with you and I’m kind of fine Knowing my heart beats for two and the other half is beating just for you

Take me down to the river, so I can follow the stream to the ocean, and dive right in Guide me, cos I've been feeling so lost lately, I've been tripping over my feet daily, I need a place to wash away my sins And the world is falling to my feet, like the final curtain is devouring me I don’t have the words and I can’t find the time, I'm sorry I'm so sorry, dear friend of mine Take me home cos I feel out of place here, I need somewhere I can feel safe near, where everyone knows my name Break me into a thousand pieces, cos I don’t want you to miss this and I can’t get over what we have been through And the world is falling to my feet, like the final curtain is devouring me I don’t have the words and I can’t find the time, I'm sorry I'm so sorry, dear friend of mine So take me for what I'm worth, or kick me to the curb, all I ask is you to think of me somewhere down the line, dear friend of mine So take me for what I'm worth, or kick me to the curb, all I ask is you to think of me somewhere down the line, dear friend of mine Dear friend of mine, dear friend of mine, dear friend of mine, dear friend of mine
3.
I’ll pave the roads with cobblestones and I’ll lace them with jewels Underneath the canopy you know they will shine for you Trace the trees back to the sea and take shelter on the shore Count the waves beneath your feet, you know you’re good at keeping the score So tell me what’s the score? And you’ll run, run, run, run right back to me You’re always pulling at my sleeves I’ll choose my words so eloquently But you steal my breathe like a common thief You’re losing grip of those big old ships and they’re sailing out of view The moon hums an unfamiliar tune, you’ve heard nothing new Wrap the trains in cellophane so the colours of the world can be seen Chase the stars into the park, won’t you lay awake with me Please lay awake with me And you’ll run, run, run, run right back to me You’re always pulling at my sleeves I’ll choose my words so eloquently But you steal my breathe like a common thief You’ll run, run, run, run right back to me You’re always pulling at my sleeves I’ll choose my words so eloquently But you steal my breathe like a common thief

Where do we go from here when everyone, everyone knows our names Well my safest bet is with the people that, don’t even know we’re breathing So I’ll be safe, lurking in the shadows of all the shining stars And I can dream or take all the pills that erase you from the maze That consumes my mind Oh my dear, my fears are always running on the outskirts of my mind Oh my dear, all my fears are the monsters that keep me awake at night So can you save me, from all of these dreams that I’ve been dreading tonight? Will they keep on, keep on haunting all my dreams All these night terrors will be the death of me Would you look at me the same, would you know well of course you know what I, what I’ve done And would you be there in the end saying it’s OK, it’s OK to be afraid of what we don’t know Oh my dear, my fears are always running on the outskirts of my mind Oh my dear, all my fears are the monsters that keep me awake at night So can you save me, from all of these dreams that I’ve been dreading tonight Will they keep on, keep on haunting all my dreams All these night terrors will be the death of me Don’t make me feel so ashamed of everything that I was so proud of And don’t make me feel so afraid of everything that I believed in And don’t you ever feel alone, and don’t you ever just want to go home And don’t you ever feel alone, and don’t you ever just want to go home Oh my dear, my fears are always running on the outskirts of my mind Oh my dear, all my fears are the monsters that keep me awake at night

Your tongues as sharp as the knives in my back and you’re tying me down to that old broken track and I can’t move Anywhere any more You'll pick me up and you'll place me on top of a house to keep watch of a town I don’t really care for What are we here for Show me the way to that old wishing well I've got my scars and I've got my scores to settle Show me the way to that old wishing well After this is all said and done my friend I will still wish you well You get to me like a wolf gets his sheep and I'm losing my tongue and I can barely speak at all To anyone any more So I'll shut my eyes as we choke our goodbyes and you turn yourself around and leave me standing there at your door I hope you find what you’re looking for Show me the way to that old wishing well I've got my scars and I've got my scores to settle Show me the way to that old wishing well After this is all said and done my friend I will still wish you well Stubborn as hell I'll cling to my sword as we fight to the death and we fall to the floor and I can’t Keep doing this any more It might sound dumb but my friend you have won and I'm packing it in and I'm taking myself back home God it’s been so long Show me the way to that old wishing well I've got my scars and I've got my scores to settle Show me the way to that old wishing well I've got my scars and I've got my scores to settle Show me the way to that old wishing well After this is all said and done my friend I will still wish you well
