If it wasn't for the black and white lines on my face today
Then maybe I would be a different me
But now the contrast of the Lights and Shadows twists my face askew
You will learn it all: the Old and the New
And though I'm talking now, my tongue won't move because it's far too numb
The words you say to me will never be wrong

I am in the fourposter of my room
And I am falling for you again
And I am trying to rip out the mattress
But the seams won't split because my fingertips are far too soft

If I had known the quake beneath us was the Earth's heartbeat
Then maybe I would think differently
And as I take you on the dance floor, gliding through this masquerade;
I will be there, so don't be afraid
And just like horses who are tired and who lay in beds of hay
We have made it through another tiring day

I am in the fourposter of my room
And I am falling for you again
And I am trying to rip out the mattress
But the seams won't split because my fingertips are far too soft

And despite the dust upon my feet, I walk along the hall
You have been there and seen it all
And even though dark things have passed, you flash a brilliant smile
I sigh with relief for it has been awhile
And now we're whispering to each other secrets we will keep
We both grow tired and try to fall asleep

I am in the fourposter of my room
And I am falling for you again
And I am ripping out the mattress
And the seams all split because my fingertips are not so soft

And you are in the fourposter of my room
And you are falling with me again
You are trying to seal up the mattress
Because the seams have split and you want to sleep in a bed so soft

Now that time has unwinded
We're songs that are lost in the wind
And even though we're constantly reminded, we'll
Make our way back to them

So just take my hand, take my hand
I promise
That if you take my hand, take my hand we will
Find another land, no demands
I promise
That somehow we will be okay

We run through life with scratches and bruises
As our friends peel back their thin skin
The one who never tries is the one who loses
And even though we know it's there we can't begin again

So just take my hand, take my hand
I promise
That if you take my hand, take my hand we will
Find another land, another land
I promise you
That this is where we will begin

An empty casket lies upon the table
You look inside, there's nothing but a pen
And a single sheet of bright white paper
Left for you to write your memoirs to your best friend

But she has passed on, this is the song
You promised her
And it had better be worth every single word
But we're finally here, you are a dear
I promised you this
And we can fin'lly see eternity, my friend

We can fin'lly see eternity, my friend
Oh, we can fin'lly see eternity, my friend

My heart becomes
The beating drum
And I hear your Song
I see your trail
It’s light; it’s frail
And it leads into the wood

You laugh, you smile;
Though your life is a trial
And now I follow you
I’ll always stay true
My soul’s an empty blue:
It’s broke

Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you

And now I see
The line of trees
And I feel the breeze
The path: it turns
My choices burn
An echo of my past

The black is near,
For now I fear
That your trail has fin'lly faded
And now I’ve become the hated
What was once infatuated,
Is lost

Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you

Now time beats on
The dark is wrong
And I long for the dawn
My chains are cold
And I’m growing old
I need them to break

You have the key
But you won’t free me
And now I am fin'lly dying
And what’s worse: I won’t stop crying
So why can’t you just stop lying?
You care

Living in borrowed shoes
Walking on borrowed paths
This is the only ruse I feel

Following borrowed Light
Wandering in the night
As long as I find you

Living in borrowed blood
Walking on borrowed laughs
Wading on through the flood, I feel...

...I’m following borrowed hope
Wandering down a *****
As long as I find you,
As long as I find you,

As long as you find me
