Looking ’round
For something I might want to save,
Burning now
But it did’t have to end this way,
It’s hard to speak
When there’s nothing left to say,
Foolishly
It’s just a game I play.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
This town
The place that I happen to be,
This life
The things that happen to me,
This love
Lost to uncertainty,
This pain
A perfect picture of me.
A perfect picture of me.
A perfect picture of me.
This suit
Designed to hide the decay,
Dying
A little more every day,
So afraid
But I pretend to be brave,
It’s my lie
And I choose to live this way.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
This portrait
Reveals the truth in me,
Kept safe
Under lock and key,
A delusion
That has set me free,
A life
That was not mine to keep.
Not mine to keep.
Not mine to keep.
All at once,
My world came crashing down,
Shattered glass
Falling all around,
Bleeding
Praying for a way out,
Bruised, broken
And crying out so loud.
Crying out so loud.
Crying out so loud.
Looking ’round
For something I might want to save,
Burning now
But it did’t have to end this way,
It’s hard to speak
When there’s nothing left to say,
In the end
We pay for the deals we make.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
Just like Dorian Gray.
