Cast away the moving light as I spin my tales I hope to be on my own Events keep unfolding and changing A sting to my eyes
I don’t feel the need to see this supposed norm What’s wrong with being alone Can’t they just let me be
I am a calming sight And the key to keeping all this by our hand Unlocked in darkness, paving the way
So once more I say that I'll see you again The truth won't please so can't be heard I take solace within this new lie I've told Safe again from one mistake
I’m living, I’m lying A feigning smile upon my face I look to my sea and I call out your name My friends and my family Do not be harmed by what I am This shadow that watches and helps me again Keep them out while sustained and entranced by my songs of false hope
I am your silent knight And the one who offers escape from their plans Use my words to keep them away
So once more I say that I'll see you again The truth won't please so can't be heard I take solace within this new lie I've told Safe again from one mistake
Somebody tell me of things that I have waived See me run from all that I have made I'm awake and I am afraid Teller of tall tales I can’t believe how persistent they can be I will lie until I am set free All I need is this shade of me now
