"Berlin" lyrics

Stuck on the night
They brought you in from the cold
Said, "Take shelter here"
Your loyalty's in question
They cut off your hair
And made you look in the mirror
Say goodbye to that stranger
'Fore you're found in a ditch with a needle in your neck

I push it all away
I trace the details of your face
And etch them in my mind
To fill in the blanks
Of your outline
In case they take you in the night

You still talk in your sleep
Can't shake these fever dreams of the lives lost
And the fist fights with your demons
'Cause here, they're real
And every person you've been
Met a mysterious end
But God, I hope this reincarnation
Is a bit more permanent

And I
I push it all away
I trace the details of your face
And etch them in my mind
To fill in the blanks
Of your outline
In case they take you in the night

They'll call you brave
But they don't know one thing about bravery
You spend too long feeling safe
And that's when they get you
Oh, that's when they get you

I push it all away
I trace the details of your face
And etch them in my mind
To fill in the blanks
Of your outline
After they take you in the night

After they take you in the night
After they take you in the night
