  AmDo I Fwant to forgive my Csins while Gyours are still bleeding?
  AmI forFgot what it's like to Clive and get Glost in dreaming
AmWill you push me out into the Fgreat unknown
Let me Cgo, let me float through the Gdarkness?
AmDid I hold you back and throw it Fall away?
'Cause a Clie is just fear, let's be Ghonest.
[Pre-Chorus]
AmTrying to wake up with no safety net
AmCut the strings and fall like a marionette.

[Verse 1]
  AmDo I Fknow where the truth beCgins, the Gpain that you're speaking?
  AmCan I Fbetray your heart aCgain and Gknow what's deceiving?
