Inquiring minds are waiting in line to ask about your strange ways
What is it you hide so deep inside these walls that feed your solitude?
It’s easier to go hide in your room and build the pressure up inside
But now you must wait until the day that the prisoners all charge the gate
“It’s alright”, keep telling yourself that
It’ll never get better
Your strange ways mixed with your bad days
With your bad days
Insatiable creatures and outright deceivers tiptoe as not to make a sound And panic ensues, you’ve everything to lose
Get out now before the sun sets
On this dreamscape or you will not awake, and nightmares become reality They’ll rip out the sutures, a painful future
But they couldn’t care less
“It’s alright”, keep telling yourself that
It’ll never get better
Your strange ways mixed with your bad days
With your bad days
Inquiring minds are waiting in line, why not tell them about your strange ways?
There’s something you hide, your heart's where it resides, aren’t you fed up of your solitude?
It’s easier to give into the crude, why not let the pressure out tonight?
Do you want to wait until the day that the prisoners all the charge the gates?
“It’s alright”, keep telling yourself that
It’ll never get better
Your strange ways mixed with your bad days
With your bad days
The air cools as the sun sets on this dreary day full of lies
I’m not fooled but you’ll still spout all the same nonsense again and again The air cools as the sun sets without a fair compromise
I'm not tryna be rude, but all you do is spread those godawful lies
Your strange ways
Your strange ways
“It’s alright”, keep telling yourself that
It’ll never get better
Your strange ways mixed with your bad days
With your bad days

Red lights cloud my vision
Cold nights haunt my decisions
Rain falling from the heavens
Explain why these faces lack expressions
You are splitting me at the seams like a stuffed animal
And I’m losing control like a ship lost at sea
I’m waking up from this dream
That had swallowed me whole
Taking back the control of the consequences
What is mine will stay mine
What is mine will stay mine
The street lamps pierce the shadows
And my eyes are glazing over
My thoughts keep going back to you
Reason denies closure
Will I ever get it right?
Rebuild, a past to overwrite
You are splitting me at the seams like a stuffed animal
And I’m losing control like a ship lost at sea
I’m waking up from this dream
That had swallowed me whole
Taking back the control of the consequences
What is mine will stay mine
What is mine will stay mine

Cut me off, flush me out
But now you’re begging for me
Kick me down, flush me out
You know I’ve done it before
And now you’re creeping around in my skin
I think I’ll do it alone
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve, you know I’ve
You know I’ve been a freak
The truth fucking hurts
I wish I’d never know
But I can't leave it alone
No, I can't leave it alone
And now you’re creeping around in my mind
But the sweet memories are all I can find
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve done it before
You know I’ve, you know I’ve
You know I’ve

You are my getaway car
Let’s pull up to a petrol stop
Rose-tinted windows and scars
Litter your body now you’re out of touch
Tight leather strapped ‘round your heart
You’ve got it fastened so we can’t come close
Stripped down, just look where we are
Impetuous decisions carved this path
Rose-tinted windows roll down
The scars litter your body
Tell me, why risk it?
When God knows I’ve tried
Just to show you I’m not the same at all
Jet black interior
Is getting hot in the midday sun
Dress up to cover those marks
No one told you how the tables would turn
Now you’re here, where should we start?
Maybe kick those stilettos off
Come to me, baby, let’s dance
We’ll go all night, hope you’ve got the time
Rose-tinted windows roll down
The scars litter your body
Tell me, why risk it?
When God knows I’ve tried
Just to show you I’m not the same
You are my getaway car
Rose-tinted windows and scars
Rose-tinted windows roll down
The scars litter your body now
Why risk it?
When God knows I’ve tried
Just to show you I’m not the same at all

So drink your fire to stay afloat
Watch the needle stab as you begin to bloat
An unreachable itch that keeps on tearing
The staple of our bearing
And you’re so mechanical
So burn down bridges to act the part
Lucid dreaming to help you start
The sweet embrace of attention
Hollow unfounded indignation
And you’re so mechanical
All the while we watch and wait
Laughing as they meet their fate
The eyes of millions, newfound burden
Smothered beneath their velvet curtain

Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
Feel it in the air
A shiver runs down your spine
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
Come with me one last time
I know you’ve just fed me lies
Take a breath
Please leave your facade behind
There’s nothing left for you to hide
Can you feel it coming?
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
Feel it in the air
A shiver runs down your spine
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
No sound can compare
With the screams and the dreams they consume
Corrupt the dark with the light
Fan the flame once it ignites
Start a riot
Now I can see right through all of the lies
Come for a ride with me
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
Feel it in the air
A shiver runs down your spine
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
No sound can compare
With the screams and the dreams they consume
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
Feel it in the air
A shiver runs down your spine
Don’t open your eyes
I’ll take you on a moonlight drive
No sound can compare
With the screams and the dreams they
Take me down below
Forget that sweet oxygen
Who could ever wish to feel so free?
Rewrite my past, rewrite me
