oh you don't have blue eyes. i expected blue eyes. that's how i pictured you would be. and you don't have long hair. i thought you'd have long hair. so this is all a shock to me. i didn't know if you would meet me. or believe me. when i said that i was fooled. i really thought that i would hate you. i know i meant to. there'd only be one of us left when we're through. now that we're face to face. and i put myself in your place. i see the truth. i see who's
really to blame. and i won't play his game. or try to get even. he'll know he's lost watching us leaving. i blamed you

shut down and reignite. i spit out what i breathe. through the dust and decay. i can't touch what i see. a reflection of me. disengage the machine. let the light fade away. through the ash in the streets. as we fall into the grey. into the fray. take me away. into the grey. i shouldn't stay but i can't let you go. we're face to face yet stand alone. i'm just a slave of a life split in two. falling apart in a crowded room. you can choke on your greed. you can swallow the plague. i won't buy what is free. you're the one that will pay. in the land of the free
and the home of the fake. we're consumed by disease. as we fall into our graves. fall into our graves. fall into our graves. i shouldn't stay but i can't let you go. we're face to face yet stand alone. i'm just a slave of a life split in two. falling apart in a crowded room. i can't let you go. shut down and reignite. we are the dust that whispers. ash from a fire inside. death on the wind. we whisper. i can't let you go. we're face to face yet stand alone. i'm just a slave of a life split in two. falling apart in a crowded room. i shouldn't stay but i can't let you go. we're face to face yet stand alone. i'm just a slave of a life split in two. falling apart in a crowded room. i shouldn't stay but i can't let you go. i can't let you go.
