A Faint Illusion - crop versI know you know.
Despite your reservations,
out of everything in this world, I choose you.
It goes to show, despite our conversations,
Back when you were just a little girl,
We had no clue just what we were getting ourselves into.
We were merely trying something new.
All I Ever DoTell your heart to stop believing.
I'm just a poison in your veins.
I only want you for the evening.
Just for now to numb the pain.
Whooooo are you?
Whooooo am I?
Why dooooo you love me when all I ever dooo is make you cry?
GhostMy body sinks to the bottom, you were the last one to know
Never needed a home but had nowhere else to go
Now I'm drifting to pieces, time is slipping away
Always thought you would end up finding a reason to stay
In this house I built for you
All our plans would follow suit
You'd forget who you had been and finally give in
HeartfeltThis isn't what we planned
But your hands are motioning
And we can't stop this, no
The feeling I can't stand
Hold Me DownI've said too much.
I might regret a bit tomorrow.
I should have kept it locked up in my head,
But we've had enough
No more manufactured sorrow
Can change my mind from what I'm about to say.
And ohhhhhh
Hold OnHold on to me now, you're not invincible
If you let your guard down, I'm not gonna let you fall
Hold on to me now, I'm not invincible
Drowning in self-doubt, can you pull my demons out?
Oh, it's all on the table
Oh, nothing to hide
Hold on to me now, you're not invincible
I'll carry you somehow, the weight of you makes me strong
Patient[Verse 1]
And if you wanna know why, give it time
Know you've made up your mind
Now all of our highs and lows are magnified
Chest in knots, paralyzed
[Pre-Chorus]
Go on, don't take it slow
Perfect LieCan’t decide what’s right
I’ve been up all night
Lying in your bed
Searching through my head
For a piece of sanity to latch on
A piece of clarity to think back on
I have never felt this way before
StrangerThere's a stranger in my bed
But I've known her since forever
Even if this is the end
One more night we could pretend
For tonight let's just pretend
I've been carrying all the pain
And bouncing all around my brain for nothing
Tug of WarSo you want to start a war?
I'll be there
Watching as our towers tumble down
We'll settle all the scores
And burn it to the ground
I'll play this game of tug of war
Try to pull you back again
But in the end I know I'll never win
