Breathing in the dark, lying on its side
(And you don't seem to understand)
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
The ruins of the day painted with a scar
(A shame, you seemed an honest man)
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
And the more I straighten out, the less it wants to try
(And all the fears you hold so dear)
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
The feelings start to rot one wink at a time
(Will turn to whisper in your ear)
(Caught in the undertow, just caught in the undertow)
Oh, forgiving who you are for what you stand to gain
(And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much)
(I've become so numb, I can't feel you there)
Just know that if you hide, it doesn't go away
(And you don't even feel a thing)
(Become so tired, so much more aware)
When you get out of bed, don't end up stranded
(I am falling, I am fading)
(I'm becoming this, all I want to do)
Horrified with each stone on the stage, my little dark age
(I have lost it all, oh-oh)
(Is be more like me and be less like you)
Every breath you take
(Comin' out of my cage and I've been doin' just fine)
And every move you make
(Gotta, gotta be down because I want it all)
Every bond you break, every step you take
(It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?)
I'll be watching you
(It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss)
Every single day
(Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab)
And every word you say
(While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag)
Every game you play, every night you stay
(Now they're goin' to bed and my stomach is sick)
I'll be watching you
(And it's all in my head, but she's touching his)
Oh, can't you see?
(Chest now)
(Chest now)
You belong to me
(He takes off her dress now)
(Dress now)
How my poor heart aches
(Let me go)
(Let me go)
With every step you take
Every move you make
(And I just can't look, it's killing me)
(Killing me)
And every vow you break
Every smile you fake, every claim you stake
(And taking control)
(And taking control)
I'll be watching you
Since you've gone, I've been lost without a trace
(Jealousy
Turning saints into the sea)
I dream at night, I can only see your face
(Swimming through sick lullabies)
I look around, but it's you I can't replace
(Choking on your alibis)
I feel so cold, and I long for your embrace
(But it's just the price I pay)
I keep crying, baby, baby, please
(Destiny is calling me)
Open up my eager eyes
'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside
(And taking control)
Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort
(Aah, aah)
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
(Aah, aah)
Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort
(Aah, aah)
Suffocation, no breathing
Don't give a fuck if I cut my arm bleeding
(Aah, aah)
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue, the tournament's begun
The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
I wait outside the pilgrim's door
With insufficient schemes
The black queen chants the funeral march
The cracked brass bells will ring
To summon back the fire witch, the choir softly sing
The rusted chains of prison moons
Are shattered by the sun
(Confusion will be my epitaph)
(Why don't you ask him if he's gonna stay?)
I walk a road, horizons change
The tournament's begun
(As I crawl, a cracked and broken path)
(Why don't you ask him if he's going away?)
The purple piper plays his tune
The choir softly sing
(If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh)
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue, the tournament's begun
(But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying)
(Why don't you tell me what's going on?)
The keeper of the city keys
Put shutters on the dreams
(Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying)
(Why don't you tell me who's on the phone?)
Three lullabies in an ancient tongue
(Yes, I fear tomorrow I'll be crying)
For the court of the crimson king
(Crying)
(Don't say that you love me)
Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort
(Aah, aah)
Suffocation, no breathing
(Aah, aah)
Told you not to worry
But maybe that's a lie
Honey, what's your hurry?
Won't you stay inside?
?edisni yats uoy t'noW

The world's a little blurry
Or maybe it's my eyes
The friends I've had to bury
They keep me up at night
Honey, what's your hurry?
Won't you stay inside?
Remember not to get too close to stars
They're never gonna give you love like ours
