They know what everybody knows Better sit, a letter from a thief says I lead when everybody sleeps So feel the ways to cover up the old wounds Lost in a finger frosted lie These sensors medicating through it all. If you ever enter my mind Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all Stay there Faceless, so little there to judge Left wing, let's separate the cold out Opposites, we never need to tell One's thing, I found I'm having to I'm having to If you ever enter my mind Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all Solitude Waste of a man This fades as soon as the sun sets I know all these fade or all that lives Imagine here's a better feel Told to dissolve or choose to fade Or stay here You'll live If you ever enter my mind Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all If you ever enter my mind Stay there, you'll live To fend it off and fool them all Stay there
