lyrics

while my castle burns
please, do not hassle me
yeah, we're safe on the streets
but we lost everything
all my dogs are dead
my memories are melting
all that's in my head
is my only thing
and as nighttime falls
beauty breaks my tears
skyclad under stars
hiding all my years

if you want to love
don't expect returns
if you want to try
do it til it burns
if you need to laugh
do it til you bleed
if you want to cry
do it til you sleep
cause I'm nobody's fool
but everybody's clown
forever hold my breath
but I will never drown

if you want to breath
you need to open wide
if you want to leave
first you come inside
if you want to fly
you need to fall first
if you want to lie
you need the truth to hurt
if you want to burn
you need a little spark
if you want to learn
you need to fear the dark
