The heavy boots are clicking on the floor . . . Another midnight rattling the lock on the door . . . I see your blue eyes waiting in the hall . . . Two shadows dancing on the marble wall . . . I’ve got the dust of the world on my skin . . . You don’t ask where the hell I’ve been . . . You just watch the steam begin to rise . . . Seeing through the mask and the dark disguise . . . I’m sitting on the ground . . . head against the stone . . . You’re the only reason I’m coming home . . . You count the seconds till the water stops . . . Counting every single one of the drops . . . LOCK THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE GATE . . . FIX THE BEND AND SET IT STRAIGHT . . . SHARE THE STORY . . . BREAK THE BREAD . . . TUCK THE NIGHTMARES IN THE BED . . . YOU’RE THE STRONGEST SOUL I’LL EVER KNOW . . . THE ONLY HERO OF THE EVENING SHOW . . . You hold the towel with a steady hand . . . Wiping off the salt and the desert sand . . . You don’t flinch at the marks upon my chest . . . You’re the only place my spirit gets to rest . . . Pass the bandage . . . pull the silver tape . . . Helping the survivor make his escape . . . Just a normal night . . . no fuss, no sound . . . Keeping both our feet on the solid ground . . . BUT WHEN I’M WITH YOU . . . THE SHADOWS DISAPPEAR . . . THE ONLY PLACE WHERE THE AIR IS CLEAR . . . WE’RE SITTING SIDE BY SIDE IN THE KITCHEN LIGHT . . . TWO GHOSTS ESCAPING FROM THE ENDLESS FIGHT . . . NOTHING LEFT TO HIDE . . . NOTHING LEFT TO FEAR . . . THE MONSTER IS GONE . . . AS LONG AS YOU ARE HERE . . . LOCK THE WORLD OUTSIDE THE GATE . . . FIX THE BEND AND SET IT STRAIGHT . . . SHARE THE STORY . . . BREAK THE BREAD . . . TUCK THE NIGHTMARES IN THE BED . . . YOU’RE THE STRONGEST SOUL I’LL EVER KNOW . . . THE ONLY HERO OF THE EVENING SHOW . . .
