lyrics

unlock your door my dear, nobody gets in here if you don’t let em, you won’t let em
be glad of what you don’t know, get mad at life again and watch the dice roll, slowly to the floor
but the walls are closing in and i’m panicking again, hang on baby please hang on to me
no bright light within my sight and i died the last fight, if i loved myself i could love you too

will you be forever, black and blue?
no not forever, that ain't you

gears spin within like lightning, each heard word eyes close just to hide em, safe inside em
you tell me you wanna change things, yet you keep doing the same things that got us here, why would i wanna stay near?
still you can’t see past your window and keep living inside the same hole you dug yesterday
pills add temporary hope but the life is yours alone to create, rebuild, rediscover and maintain

tell me it ain’t true?
tell me this ain't you
no not forever, black and blue

walk from the unlocked shackles, tell me bout a couple more battles, and we can go from there, anywhere you like
stop putting words in my mouth, stop telling me to slow down, we haven’t time to lose, everything to prove
if you find a way to fight a little harder every time, when you collapse revive quickly, babe the clock is t-t-ticking
the synapses will connect and the madness will lastly rest for as long as you decide you want it to

will you be forever, black and blue?
will you be forever, black and blue?
no not forever, that ain't you...
