Empty bottles, shadows on the wall

[Verse 1] Empty bottles, shadows on the wall I’m the only one you know who’s gonna catch you when you fall But I’m the one who pushed you, just to see the way you break I’m the only real thing in a world that’s mostly fake You’re addicted to the silence, you’re addicted to the rush I can turn your loudest screaming into nothing but a hush I don’t have to say a word to get inside your head I’m the ghost that’s sitting right there at the corner of your bed. [Chorus] I’m the habit that you can’t quit, the fever in your veins I’m the only one who’s ever gonna hold these silver reins I can make you feel like everything, then leave you in the cold I’m the only secret that you’re ever gonna hold And I won’t hesitate to leave you right back where we started In the middle of the dark, feeling hollow and departed. [Verse 2] Half-lit cigarettes and memories of the rain You’re looking for a reason just to justify the pain But there is no reason, baby, there is only you and me In a house of mirrors where there’s nothing left to see I know you’re waiting for the phone to light up in the dark Waiting for the gasoline to find another spark But I’m the one who holds the matches, I’m the one who holds the key And the only way you breathe is if you’re breathing next to me. [Chorus] I’m the habit that you can’t quit, the fever in your veins I’m the only one who’s ever gonna hold these silver reins I can make you feel like everything, then leave you in the cold I’m the only secret that you’re ever gonna hold And I won’t hesitate to leave you right back where we started In the middle of the dark, feeling hollow and departed. [Verse 3] Look at the clock, yeah, the time is moving fast You’re trying to build a future on a broken piece of past! I’m the weight inside your pockets, I’m the anchor in the sea You’re never gonna be the person that you thought you’d be! I’m the master of the game, I’m the dealer of the hand I’m the only one who understands the way you really planned To get away from everything, to get away from me But I’m the only horizon that you’re ever gonna see! [Verse 4] Every door you try to open, I’m the one who’s got the lock I’m the steady rhythm of the ticking on your clock! You’re a passenger in life and I’m the one who’s gonna drive I’m the only reason that you’re feeling even half alive! No more excuses, no more running from the truth I’m the one who’s gonna take away the visions of your youth When the lights go out and the world begins to shake I’m the only thing you have, and I’m the only thing you’ll take! [Final Chorus] I’m the habit that you can’t quit, the fever in your veins I’m the only one who’s ever gonna hold these silver reins I can make you feel like everything, then leave you in the cold I’m the only secret that you’re ever gonna hold And I won’t hesitate to leave you right back where we started In the middle of the dark, feeling hollow and departed. [Outro] Hollow and departed... I won't hesitate... Just a habit... [End]
