It's warm where I'm going all year round
I am the demon that keeps weighing you down
Deception is the game
and I'm wearing the crown
I'm growing tired of wearing this mask all over town
I've been running from myself all along
Knowing it's the darkness that keeps me warm
Where did I go wrong?
What am I running from?
I'll be the reason that you won't ever feel again
I'll be the one to haunt you in your dreams
This is just one big game
and I'm sorry you've been deceived
Just open up your arms and embrace me
I've been running from my self along
Knowing it's the darkness that keeps me warm
Where did I go wrong?
...and I know that your hands are tied
but I'm begging you to keep holding tight
...and I know it's the bed I made
but it's not where I plan to sleep
...and I know that your hands are tied
but I'm begging you to keep holding tight
I left you standing there
What else could I have done?
I know your hands are tied
but please keep holding on
