the only thing that i can say is close your eyes and pray.
i stand here waiting, poison held within my tiny hands...
dare i drink my life away? we only have one chance.
but if we want this antidote to work, the only thing that i can say is, "close your eyes and pray...pray."
your precious words, your perfect skin...
my quiet patience wearing thin.
forget my name, forget this night...
for i will never speak again.
now rain is falling,
[rain is falling]
the mist is covering this place.
[i'll never speak again]
you hear me calling,
[hear me calling]
but still you cannot see my face.
[i'll never speak again]
they'll search for motives,
[search for motives]
and see no reason for the end.
[i'll never speak again]
they'll never notice,
[never notice]
and i will never speak again.
don't hold me back!
don't hold me back, i'll break right through these diamond walls to shatter you.
you can't resist my siren song, you'll breathe me in but not for long.
[but if we want this antidote to work,
the only thing that i can say is "close your eyes and pray."
your soul is slipping through my fingers now,
so taste my flawless smile and wish your worthless life away.]
your precious words, your perfect skin...
my quiet patience wearing thin.
[your words, this night, i'll never speak again]
forget my name, forget this night...
[your words, this night, i'll never speak again]
for i will never speak again.
[don't hold me back!]
i'll never speak again.
[don't hold me back!]
again.
