## Lyrics

It feels I'm trapped inside

the darkest chamber

There's nowhere else to hide

It's mental anguish

I see through your disguise

You're everywhere

I'm running for my life

but where's the danger?

Only the sky hears me crying

Only the sky hears me crying

Old photographs remind

of times we both have tried

This bitter wall

Reap what you sow

A roses thorn cuts deep

I think I'd rather bleed

than know your ghost

Forever haunt

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Yeah, I still hear your lies

they're everlasting

Just tell them one more time

that's all I'm asking

Addicted to your voice

Forgotten silence

I need to cut the rope

but scared of dying

Only your warmth brings surrender

Only your warmth brings surrender

Old photographs remind

of times we both have tried

This bitter wall

Reap what you sow

A roses thorn cuts deep

I think I'd rather bleed

than know your ghost

Forever haunt

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

There goes a fantasy

What could be you and me

A thousand years

of harmony

Visions of ecstasy

before we go to sleep

Tragedy

So much suffering

There goes a fantasy

What could be you and me

A thousand years

of harmony

Visions of ecstasy

before we go to sleep

Tragedy

So much suffering

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

There's no hope inside

Old photographs remind

of times we both have tried

This bitter wall

Reap what you sow

A roses thorn cuts deep

I think I'd rather bleed

than know your ghost

Forever haunt

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?

Can we hold on tonight?
