I let you in my head 
I hope you know, it’s hard going it alone 
And so it goes, I have to let it go 
Traveling back to when our eyes first met

In the moment,
Thought I was having the time of my life 
But here I am in an ocean of pretty little lies 
It’s smoking, and there’s no sign I’ll survive 

But the casket for every drop of happiness 
Now leaving my eyes, was bottled sunshine 
Thought I was the love of your life 

You ask, “What’s on your mind?” 
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them?
Flaring sparks of warning signs 
And I keep waiting in a blackness
I’m frozen

Gazing away from our feet 
Beneath the blazing autumn leaves 
Blood, brick, and rusted tints 
Illuminating your cherry cheeks 
And I’m hoping, what’s stolen will be given back to me 

You ask, “What’s on your mind?” 
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them?
Flaring sparks of warning signs 
And I keep waiting in a blackness
I’m frozen

In the moment,
Thought I was having the time of my life 
But here I am in an ocean of pretty little lies 
It’s smoking, and there’s no sign I’ll survive 

But the casket for every drop of happiness 
Now leaving my eyes, was bottled sunshine 
Thought I was the love of your life 

I let you in my head 
I hope you know, it’s hard going it alone 
And so it goes, I have to let it go 
Traveling back to when our eyes first met

You ask, “What’s on your mind?” 
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them?
Flaring sparks of warning signs 
And I keep waiting in a blackness
I’m frozen

You ask, “What’s on your mind?” 
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
The truth’s violently diseased sky

Is lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them in my eyes?
Flaring sparks of warning signs 
To ignite what’s hiding in 
The phrenic maze that has become my life 

And I keep waiting in a blackness -- that is the ending to my days 
And they’re washed away. And they’re washed away
And they’re washed away. And they’re washed away
Down the drain. Down the drain. 
All that remains is the screaming of yesterday, 
And the fear of tomorrow, and the nightmares that await 

There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them?

There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
There’s chaos raining behind-- 
A pretty lake of lies--
lost to a sea of words I cannot find 
Can you see them?
