(Verse 1) I wear the mask, I play the part A casual smile to guard my heart You stand in gold, beneath the crown I fade into the shadow town (Verse 2) Fingers bleeding inside my coat A silent scream stuck in my throat You trace the stars, you plan the fight I give you all my shares of light (Pre-Chorus) A fine line, a perfect cage One step closer, a fatal stage Take the glory, take the sky I’ll stay down here and let it die (Chorus) I want it so bad, I’m losing my mind But I bury the hunger I leave behind Locked in the fiction of "just a friend" Swallowing poison until the end As long as I keep my place by your side I’ll let the darkness eat me alive (Bridge) If my devotion burns too hot I’ll kill the soul that you forgot Go rule your kingdom, clean and high I’ll be the ghost who takes the lie (Verse 1) I wear the mask, I play the part A casual smile to guard my heart You stand in gold, beneath the crown I fade into the shadow town (Verse 2) Fingers bleeding inside my coat A silent scream stuck in my throat You trace the stars, you plan the fight I give you all my shares of light (Pre-Chorus) A fine line, a perfect cage One step closer, a fatal stage Take the glory, take the sky I’ll stay down here and let it die (Chorus) I want it so bad, I’m losing my mind But I bury the hunger I leave behind Locked in the fiction of "just a friend" Swallowing poison until the end As long as I keep my place by your side I’ll let the darkness eat me alive (Chorus) I want it so bad, I’m losing my mind But I bury the hunger I leave behind Locked in the fiction of "just a friend" Swallowing poison until the end As long as I keep my place by your side I’ll let the darkness eat me alive (Outro) 5 AM, the smoke goes cold Tracing the lines I’ll never hold A whispered breath, a ghost of a name Then back to the dark From where I came.
