Lyrics
Hopeful eyes prove to be deceiving
Slightly uneven at the seams
An addict woken, she's been sleeping for so long
A family that she pawned
But he still cares for her
The night denies who she could be
A lush lost in bottles at seventeen
He dies by day to feed the flame
To bury her past and to kill the pain
And she will make the same turn
In circles to wonder
Why the silence begs her to sleep
It's still the only place to hide
From shame that her choices force her to keep
(She walks the straight line)
(Backwards all the while)
Blink twice
Then watch as your castles tumble down
(Shattered dreams cast you from your clouds)
Black out
And fall asleep to the sound
(Of the chains to which you're bound)
The street lights darken as he's leaving
His makeshift flight tempts fallacies
The only person that would hold her up so high
No longer could I try
But I still cared for her
And now she's bartered everything
For hits that remind her just what it means
To douse the spotlight as it burns
From both ends, a shadow to those concerned
And she will make the same turn
In circles to wonder
Why the silence begs her to sleep
It's still the only place to hide
From shame that her choices force her to keep
