Lyrics[]

In shadow there lies hope
Cut tension with a knife
I find it hard to cope
Stop playing with my life
You analyse my fears
Analyse my dreams
Choke on burning tears
Through my silent screams

Things arenโ€™t what they seem

Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
Iโ€™ll let you all see that Iโ€™m doing better

Watch me fall
As I stumble at your feet
Always losing in this game
Your lies cut me deep
And you donโ€™t even know my name
With your consistency
To always make me crawl
And my durability
Not affected at all

Still things arenโ€™t what they seem

Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
Iโ€™ll let you all see that Iโ€™m doing better

Feel the pain
On my brain
Feel the strain
As I start to decay
Feel the strain
Every passing day
Feel the pain
As I start to decay

Tell a hundred craftsmen to work on me
Tell this army of angels to make me breathe
Open doors just to take away the key
Iโ€™ll let you all see that Iโ€™m doing better
