"Meanwhile" lyrics

"Meanwhile"

You'll never know
You'll never know the pain you caused
The ones you've left
To turn on the inside
When it's black as midnight on a moonless sky
The answers are hidden in plain sight
So when the room turns to red
We'll see those apparitions
No, they can't hurt you now!

Scare it out of me
The clarity
This isn't who I thought you'd be
I see your image in my dreams
Scare it out of me
The clarity
This isn't who I thought you'd be
I see your image in my dreams
Calmly
Walking towards me
Writhing
Cold and restless

The letters underneath her nails
They scare the daylight out of me
Her pages read, "jâi un amé solitaire"
She marked the death of virtue
Paralyzed by
What has this small town come to?
Haunting energy
Will apparitions save you?
Captivate me
When your hopes become your fears
Contradict me
Eat your own goddamn heart out

Scare it out of me
The clarity
This isn't who I thought you'd be
I see your image in my dreams
Scare it out of me
The clarity
This isn't who I thought you'd be
I see your image in my dreams
Calmly
Walking towards me
Writhing
Cold and restless

Captivating us with all your contradictions
Driving us to tears
And making fingers bleed with every fist we make
Do you cut off your nose
Just to spite your face?
Do you tear off your skin
Just to spite your body?
Do you gouge out your eyes
Just to spite your face?
Steel yourself
A beautiful soul has left the earth
Washed up on the shore
And they couldn't help but
Wonder who she was
Who she was
You'll never know
You'll never know the pain you caused
The ones you've left
To turn on the inside

Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
Paralyzed by haunting energy
