Pause

[Verse 1]
Ashamedly I wasted life
On shamelessly staying thin
I said my prayers before I closed my eyes
As I thought prayers did well to preserve skin

This is my ruin
Under the light of an artificial moon

[Chorus]
With eyes so bright
They were a mirror to the night
When I started looking for you

[Verse 2]
The spotlight shines and shows me where to stand
As I earned my living from applause
And as the light has died fear stands by my side
And we wait for the last unconscious pause

I cannot talk
As I assume my residence in dark

[Verse 3]
But with eyes so bright
They were a fire to the night
That I woke and finally found you
But then I cut you loose
Then I cut you loose (I cut you loose)
Then I cut you loose (I cut you loose)
Like some fake noose

[Bridge]
I write from beneath you
I'll write to remember you
I’ll die to come back to you
