lyrics

Take my hand for awhile
Steal my breathe with a smile

I need you more than ever to help me see this through
The current pulls me down, My head is going under

Maelstrom in my mind, feeling capsized

I’m howlin' for your gaze, to meet me for a spell
The current pulls me down, will you let me under?

And all I see ahead of this love is loss,
Take my hand but know someday i’ll let go
Fulfillment is a ghost and my heart is the haunted house
Try as you may you can’t heal these scars

And now the time has come
The hands have aligned
The sun is shining down on me

Now hear the battlecry
As we come alive
Imbue me with your melody

And as it all burns up
You start glimmering
I hope tomorrow never comes

Oh let this moment last
Unwavering
A peace inside though we knew
The spell you cast just could never last

My better side is just a mask to hide
The ghost inside my bones that drags me to this place
Monotony creeps in; won’t you take me far away
The demon in me always seems to win
