lyrics

Why do we pretend?
Please my friend sedate the beast inside my head
What else could we defend?
Oh god my friend, be near me when it comes to an end

While you toss and turn, I grind your teeth
You’ll always need me, you’ll always need me
And I need your mind, it’s mine to keep
Throw me another line, I’ve been dying to meet
While you toss and turn, I grind your teeth
You’ll always need me, you’ll always need me
And I need your mind, it’s mine to keep
Throw me another line, I’m everything you want to be
Freeze…

Raise your head
It’s only the radio waves tuning out
Fading every word you say

I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything you want
I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything you want to be
I’m you, and I’m me, and I’m everything

What a test we’ve been
Seven years have gone, my friend
Touch my skin I’m taking you away
But what of the mess I’ve made?
It’s all I am
Seven years, what’s one more day?

Raise your head
It’s only the radio waves tuning out
Fading every word you say

No, but the king in me won’t turn away so easily
Until I’m no longer in shadow, no more the contained
Until the day I am free, you’ll always need me
