Open cast to break my fall,
And hide away from you all.
'Til I fall in and say "So long!",
And the world just laughs along.
Highs and lows are all I know.
My highs are low, my lows are so.
'Til I fall in and say "I'm gone"
And the world just sings along.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone.
Follow your bliss, and you will see,
That road is paved with misery.
And the hardest bit is holding on
To your dreams when everything goes wrong.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone,
In your Violent monochrome.
You whisper, "Could I believe?" but hold back.
You tell me to hurry up but wait for it.
The treasure that you found is my loss.
In running away from you, I've stayed right here.
You could help me,
You could raise me up,
You could save me.
But you tear me down,
You break me.
That's why I'll always be alone,
In your Violent monochrome.
