You're safe and sound But you sting me with this runaround Such cruel control A kiss kept locked away within your underground Just bring me down (It's like that) I can bleed like anyone But I'm tucked away and undone No time for pain or dark charades Left clawing at these scabs to find you We could leave but you won't go Locked away and laid to waste A bullet fallen to the ground Just say you would (You can fake it, it's good, it's good You can take it, it's a, it's a, it's a lie) Just say you would (You can want it, it's good, it's good You can fake it, you can want it, you can take it, go) Safe and sound The things you'll say to keep the world from burnin' down (It's like that) You could scream like everyone But you're locked away and unsung No time for blame or serenades While sifting through this maze inside you We could leave but can't let go A life erased, a heart displaced An echo in the dark says "Go on, there's nothing here for you" (An empty frame of where we began) "Just hold on, there's nothing without you" (Just breathe and push it away) We could bleed like anyone But we're locked away and undone No time for pain or dark charades Left picking at these scabs to find you We could leave and just let go Or lie awake with our mistakes A bullet fallen to the ground We can bleed like anyone We can scream like everyone Locked away, this dark charade A bullet fallen to the ground
