An Empty Frame

You're safe and sound
But you sting me with this runaround
Such cruel control
A kiss kept locked away within your underground
Just bring me down
(It's like that)

I can bleed like anyone
But I'm tucked away and undone
No time for pain or dark charades
Left clawing at these scabs to find you
We could leave but you won't go
Locked away and laid to waste
A bullet fallen to the ground

Just say you would
(You can fake it, it's good, it's good
You can take it, it's a, it's a, it's a lie)
Just say you would
(You can want it, it's good, it's good
You can fake it, you can want it, you can take it, go)

Safe and sound
The things you'll say to keep the world from burnin' down
(It's like that)

You could scream like everyone
But you're locked away and unsung
No time for blame or serenades
While sifting through this maze inside you
We could leave but can't let go
A life erased, a heart displaced
An echo in the dark says

Go on, there's nothing here for you
(An empty frame of where we began)
Just hold on, there's nothing without you
(Just breathe and push it away)

We could bleed like anyone
But we're locked away and undone
No time for pain or dark charades
Left picking at these scabs to find you
We could leave and just let go
Or lie awake with our mistakes
A bullet fallen to the ground

We can bleed like anyone
We can scream like everyone
Locked away, this dark charade
A bullet fallen to the ground
