Blackout

Knock, knock woah, my shadows at the door and it wants to follow so
I go to the top to fall low cos when you're at the bottom ain't nobody really wanna know so

Leave me here in the darkness
Where it can't see that I'm heartless
So it'll assume that I'm harmless
Til I start taking shots from the darkness

Listen here closely, I come from a mad house
Keep moving slowly, you're safe in the background
Silence is lonely, when there is a blackout
Music is my only, guess that's why I stand out

Stop, I know, if I'm gonna do this, I've gotta take it slow
Plot my hopes, I keep writing music, that's how the story goes
Spot my shadow, it's slightly abusive, that's why it's gotta go
Rot at home, it must think I'm stupid, how little does it know?
Stock ammo, of course I'm gonna use it, prepare for the show
Lock my soul, the future's in the blueprints, one day I'm gonna blow
Knock, knock woah, my shadows at the door and it wants to follow so
I go to the top to fall low cos when you're at the bottom ain't nobody really wanna know so

Leave me here in the darkness
Where it can't see that I'm heartless
So it'll assume that I'm harmless
Til I start taking shots from the darkness
And the shadow turns to a carcass
The old me wanted me to be harmless
So I killed him and left him in the darkness
I'm coming up now, lift me from my harness

Listen here closely, I come from a mad house
Keep moving slowly, you're safe in the background
Silence is lonely, when there is a blackout
Music is my only, guess that's why I stand out

I've been through this a million times
It's the same old battle of the mind
I kill the beast, he comes back to life
He wants to feast now he's been revived
I see the hunger deep in his eyes
It's like a flame that always relights
I guess in a way it never dies
How long will it be until I realise

Me and this monster have a lot of things in common?
We both tried to conquer, now we're both here at the bottom
We're both growing stronger as we're both left to be forgotten
We'll both fight no longer so we'll both become the problem

All these worlds are being created in my mind, now who's gonna stop them?
All this hurt turned to words have made me go blind, now who's gonna stop them?

Listen here closely, I come from a mad house
Keep moving slowly, you're safe in the background
Silence is lonely, when there is a blackout
Music is my only, guess that's why I stand out

I've been through this a million times
It's the same old battle of the mind
I kill the beast, he comes back to life
He wants to feast now he's been revived
I see the hunger deep in his eyes
It's like a flame that always relights
I guess in a way it never dies
How long will it be until I realise...
