Lyrics
There was discord, misuse of worth
And the wool over my eyes
When I needed support, to feel the burn
To lift me up to new heights
Sensation, compelling, and I’m closer to the edge
Temptation, alluring, yet I taste regrets
And who will pay the price, the lost or the damned
When nothing will open eyes like steel in my hand
We’re heroes and villains by chance
Heroes and villains by choice
All in one voice
Beguiling words painted lips with soot
Made an empty shell of your lies
Exquisite hurt as the truth takes root
In the hollows of your eyes
Sensation, tormenting, and I’m closer to the edge
Temptation, enduring, yet I taste regrets
And who will pay the price…
What is it to you, can you deny
What is a secret to a lie
Spins a world so watertight
It hides salvation in plain sight
Sensation, so telling, and I’m closer to the edge
Temptation wears my ring, yet I taste regrets
And who will pay the price…
