  • Her pain is a fog that he inhales
    Puts down the phone, neck suddenly stale
    It's just another night with a sad different song
    Heard from somewhere now she sings along
    Turn the car-key, back out of the driveway
    He sees her face and he closes his eyes
    She still believes the lies

    Pretty pretty eyes with a darker tone
    Another hour in front of the mirror now all the cars are shown
    They say lets have another toast lets sing another song
    She tries but the vine is bitter and the words wrong
    She still believe the lies

    When you see yourself you're seeing red
    And it makes you blind
    You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
    You wait for something to break the mold
    And all i can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
    You must be bleeding under your eyelids

    One tear in the sink, swallow the next one
    Now out of sight but not really gone
    I put the key in the door don't walk to walk through
    Hang on the handle for a second or two
    As the door opens i feel your sadness from across the room
    And now for your beauty I'm lost for words

    When you see yourself you're seeing red
    And it makes you blind
    You must be bleeding under your eyelids tonight
    You wait for something to break the mold
    And all i can do is wipe the blood from your eyes
    You must be bleeding under your eyelids

    Wait for something to break the mold
    Before your eyes froze old and cold
    Keep your ears close to the ground
    Don't move until you hear a sound Writer/s: CHRISTIAN THELL LINDSKOG, MARCUS TOBIAS DAHLSTROEM, SIMON FRANK GRENEHED, TOMAS NILS NAESLUND
