Strung Out - Tesla lyrics

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 pa**es 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 pa**es 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
