Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Rain streaks the floor to ceiling glass The years have finally come to pass A silver lockbox rusted shut The blade has found the deepest cut The king is begging on his knees I’ll sell you back your memories [Pre-Chorus] You need a ghost to breathe again I’m holding your expensive pen The blackmail’s gone, the shame remains I’m washing out the charcoal stains [Chorus] I’ll draw the lines you can’t forget I haven’t finished with you yet A carbon copy of a soul I’m taking back my own control A perfect lie, a masterpiece The only way to find your peace [Post-Chorus] Trace the lines Erase the signs Steal the light Into the night [Verse] The charcoal smudges on my thumb My frozen heart is feeling numb A daughter’s face I never knew A debt I’m paying back to you The paper’s old, the edges frayed This is the game that we both played [Pre-Chorus] I see the way you beg for more I’ve seen this hollow look before You want the truth, you want the light I’ll give you shadows in the night [Chorus] I’ll draw the lines you can’t forget I haven’t finished with you yet A carbon copy of a soul I’m taking back my own control A perfect lie, a masterpiece The only way to find your peace [Bridge] In the corner of her eye I’ll hide a secret, tiny lie A stroke of lead you’ll never see A little gift from her to me It’s not quite right, it’s not the same But you won't even know the name [Breakdown] The ink is wet The trap is set A legacy of regret [Chorus] I’ll draw the lines you can’t forget I haven’t finished with you yet A carbon copy of a soul I’m taking back my own control A perfect lie, a masterpiece The only way to find your peace [Post-Chorus] Trace the lines Erase the signs Steal the light Into the night [Outro]
