a whisper in the dark and the clang of metal
reminds me of where i truly belong
the banging of the cells and the dragging of a knife
reminds me of the horror film i'm living in
all these sounds live rent free in my mind
tearing me to pieces with every word i speak
cause what's mine isn't mine to keep
ooh, ooh, i'm placing the bets
playing with chance
hoping to get out of this hole i've dug myself
sometimes when the willows blow
i find myself fantasizing under the hanging leaves
fantasizing of a certain life that's so simple
so devoid of any trauma that once tormented me
no longer hiding all the secrets that fucked with my head
and i didn't want to take a gun to my head anymore
i didn't want to have to fight with the demons that twisted the words that i said
and used them against me forcing me to face my fears
a whisper in the dark and the clang of metal
reminds me of where i truly belong
the banging of the cells and the dragging of a knife
reminds me of the horror film i'm living in
all these sounds live rent free in my mind
tearing me to pieces with every word i speak
cause what's mine isn't mine to keep
ooh, ooh, i'm placing the bets
playing with chance
hoping to get out of this hole i've dug myself
i'm tracing my fingertips over my cold body
letting the waves crash down on shore around me
as everybody stares and watches as i bleed
i was never much more than just some entertainment for those with a twisted mind
i don't even know why im holding on
could it be that i think hes the one
or could it be that the last bit of hope that i have whispers in my ear telling me to stay
a whisper in the dark and the clang of metal
reminds me of where i truly belong
the banging of the cells and the dragging of a knife
reminds me of the horror film i'm living in
all these sounds live rent free in my mind
tearing me to pieces with every word i speak
cause what's mine isn't mine to keep
ooh, ooh, i'm placing the bets
playing with chance
hoping to get out of this hole i've dug myself
fighting with the devil, arguing with an angel
trying so desperately to spread my wings and fly
torn my skin to shreds and broken all my bones
made myself so blue all cause of the thought of you
a whisper in the dark and the clang of metal
reminds me of where i truly belong
the banging of the cells and the dragging of a knife
reminds me of the horror film i'm living in
all these sounds live rent free in my mind
tearing me to pieces with every word i speak
cause what's mine isn't mine to keep
ooh, ooh, i'm placing the bets
playing with chance
hoping to get out of this hole i've dug myself
a whisper in the dark and the clang of metal
reminds me of where i truly belong
the banging of the cells and the dragging of a knife
reminds me of the horror film i'm living in
all these sounds live rent free in my mind
tearing me to pieces with every word i speak
cause what's mine isn't mine to keep
ooh, ooh, i'm placing the bets
playing with chance
hoping to get out of this hole i've dug myself
