Tesla - Strung Out

All alone on this battleground

Like dying roses in the face of our decay

I’ll be the one voice that opposes

I’ll raise my head so you can see my eyes

And know that you were not alone

When the storm took up these skies

And how do I explain it all

As it passes here before my eyes

With gravity on my back

And you turn and whisper

We found a way to forget ourselves and just walk away

We found a way to leave it all behind

Promise me if I become the worst of anything I’ve done

You’ll show me the road home again

Underground pressed against your cold dead skin

Disappearing time

And the space you build inside my mind to

Fortify a place where you can hide away

So speak the line

And I’ll give you an ear to bend

Fake a sigh of relief and we can all pretend

That our decay defines who we are

And there’s nothing left in this world but our desire

And the arms of the ones who we betray

We found a way to forget ourselves and just walk away

We found a place where we won’t ever be found

Promise me if I become the worst of anything I’ve done

You won’t let 'em know how close we all came

To getting what we’re dying for

The light on your face

Illuminates what once was a cage

For all the ghosts behind your eyes

We live forever as the wind

Our voices are the weight of time

Like a whisper in a bottle let it turn to poison wine

We found a way to lose ourselves and just walk away

We found a way to leave this love behind

We found a way to forget ourselves and just walk away

We found a way to leave it all behind

How do I explain it all

As it passes here before my eyes

Promise me I won’t become everything we’re running from

We’re exactly where we wanna be

In the arms of the ones that we betray
