lyrics

Running through the corridors that I've been through before
I know this time the walls are painted white
If you take the lead, you're the saviour, you're my heroine
With you by my side I am free
Oh the air is as cold as ice and it's sending shivers down my spine

Do you feel like your mind is an open book? Who's reading this? Who's reading this?

Hello hello, hello mister dead man walking
You're making me sad to say goodbye as you lie in your bed sleep talking
These tired eyes will soon realize that they have seen all they can see
So what does this mean?
And when was the last time that I feel asleep?

Wind whipping past our faces, ripping up the tiles with every stride
We sure are making great time
I'm not calming down, why aren't you talking to me now?
Get through to me somehow
And now the air is as hot as hell but still shivers go down my spine

I told you that night, on the pavement outside,
That the river bend's too deep to touch so your shallow grave will be inside
As the waves were crashing in the crew was soaked right through their skin
You called on me to take the helm, well now it's your turn
Step right up just step right up, I want you to be the man that you are
It's time to take control of your life

When I came to I found myself an honest truth, like a broken record skipping tune
Enter the Doctor and strike up the band
Let loose and play while we still can
Fuck this hold you've got on me, hit the lights and press record
Now why can't I remember the last time that I fell asleep?

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when you decided to stop breathing
A complication of sorts making your blood run cold
What was the reason for this?
Making your heart stop beating
Well we tried everything but there was no saving your soul
A little hard for me to take
I told your sister, she said she'd miss you for sure
She told your brother, he didn't bother to retort
Now I lay down in my bed and try my best but the ambulance song rings through my head

I'm tossing and I'm turning, my eyes are red and burning
Through the darkness I can see a figure of pure beauty
She speaks to me with these lips dark red, voices, voices of the dead
She whispers, "are you on your own? Follow me and you will never be alone"
So I give in and I tell her
I tell her "I'm yours, I'm yours, lead me through the darkness, I'm yours, I'm yours"
