[Intro]
I close my eyes, I see a black ring of wings
Always within me, always near
I float away from myself and see a hole in my head
My soul is leaking for you to take it
Stay away
We see time is bending, chasing silhouettes
The axe falls today
Let come what may and I don't care
The world you know will burst
Let come what may and I don’t care
Chasing silhouettes
[Verse 1]
My teeth were sharp, now they seem to decay
I need something to bite through, something to break
As I close my eyes, I see myself burning alive
You waste my time, pollute my mind, left me out to die (Out to die)
Learning how to navigate in a sea of past mistakes
[Chorus]
I've been chasing silhouettes
For so long I've been a quiet pretender
Reading faces, I cannot help it
Need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
Chasing silhouettes
[Verse 2]
You had me right exactly where you wanted me
My limbs were shaped to your needs
I will go way out of line, now witness me electrified
Time was wasted in between the days we thought we had (We thought we had)
I will go way out of line every waking hour
[Chorus]
I’ve been chasing silhouettes
For so long I've been a quiet pretender
Reading faces, I cannot help it
Need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
[Bridge]
Stay away
We see time is bending, chasing silhouettes
The axe falls today
Let come what may and I don't care
[Chorus]
I've been chasing silhouettes
For so long I've been a quiet pretender
Speak up, kill the silhouettes
Reading faces (Reading faces), I cannot help it (I cannot help it)
Need a place where I am someone else
Somewhere I can find the animal in me
[Outro]
Now be afraid of the animal in me
That part of me that is the animal in me
The axe will fall today
Let come what may and I don't care
You will never, never see me fall
I'll bash right through it all
Need a place where I am someone else
Now that I have found the animal in me
