[Verse 1]

I feel a cold apprehension, a moment of tension, I can't help but notice the signs

Looks like a storm is approaching, a torrent that's hoping to drown out the sound of our cries

I hear the rain as it starts to fall, sounds of a carnival swell in the eye of the storm

I feel the strangest sensation, the stark realization I don't have to try anymore

[Bridge]

I put a lightning rod on top of the house

But I think I climbed in vain

'Cause the hopes I had were swallowed by doubt

When I felt that cold black rain

[Verse 2]

I feel pandemonium coming

The sound makes me sick to my stomach

Discordant harmonies ripped out a part of me

Can't feel my legs as I'm running

Towards a distant carousel turning

I sprint as the funnel clouds worsen

I ride to my own deathwish, I hide from my acceptance

I hate that these drugs aren't working again

[Chorus]

Black out my eyes

I've been haunted by paranoid lies

I saw a sign on the skyline (skyline)

My time's come to an end

Drown out my fears

I've been running for thirty one years

I kept these terrors in my life (my life)

My time's come to an end

[Verse 3]

I feel a sense of devotion to shadows encroaching as sanity slowly dissolves

I hate the words that I've spoken, the bonds that I've broken by hiding away every fall

I see the dreadful adornment discolored by torment on flyers all over the town

I know its words are deceitful to tired eyes needful of rest or an easy way out

[Bridge]

I put a lightning rod on top of the house

But I think I climbed in vain

'Cause the hopes I had were swallowed by doubt

When I felt that cold black rain

[Chorus]

Black out my eyes

I've been haunted by paranoid lies

I saw a sign on the skyline (skyline)

My time's come to an end

Drown out my fears

I've been running for thirty one years

I kept these terrors in my life (my life)

My time's come to an end

[Outro]

My head's ridden with sin

I hear that music again

As a broke down carousel spins

Into the past to the end of my life

I ask why

Am I destined to die?

In the same disbelief that's been haunting my sleep every night
