Verse 1 I watch the ceiling turning slow Like faded films I used to know Your shadow sleeps beside my chair But I can’t feel you anywhere The radio hums soft and low A drowning heart beneath the snow I touch my skin to make sure I’m Still alive inside this time Pre-Chorus And every word becomes a ghost Every feeling decomposed Chorus Roses falling from the wall I don’t want to fade at all Tell me I’m alive tonight Before I vanish out of sight Hold my hands against the dead All these voices in my head I’m afraid of what I’ve become An undead heart beating numb Verse 2 Your perfume lingers in the rain Like pretty colors hiding pain I laugh with strangers at the bars While emptiness devours stars I used to burn for every kiss Now silence feels more real than this A porcelain boy with vacant eyes Watching every dream decay and die Pre-Chorus And every touch becomes too cold Every story left untold Chorus Roses falling from the wall I don’t want to fade at all Tell me I’m alive tonight Before I vanish out of sight Hold my hands against the dead All these voices in my head I’m afraid of what I’ve become An undead heart beating numb (Guitar Solo) Bridge If I disappear completely Would you even recognize me? Would you paint my soul in colors Or leave me buried with the others? Final Chorus Roses scattered on the floor I can’t feel them anymore Tell me I’m alive tonight Before the dark consumes my mind Hold my hands against the dead All these echoes softly spread I’m afraid of what I’ve become An undead heart forever numb.
