Plastic eyes

To lose control now

And let this go

You're paralyzed

Trying just to find a way

To learn to sleep alone now

That you're on your own

Say the words out loud

Let them out of your soul

And as it is

You're hidden underneath this fight

But sinking like a stone love

So far below

The streets are paved

With black and yellow lines

That never lead you back to home love

Cause you're on your own

Say the words

Let them out of your soul
We build our dreams

To the ground

Till they're gone
