LYRICS

There's serpents in the undertow
and dogs in the grass.
I would've told you that it was so,
but you never dared to ask.

An open heart is an open door.
What you give is what you're looking for.
I bit my hands and I hold the truth,
I've been to a lie like you,

Coz you know you're hands are the hands that hold me down.
Your words are the words that can't be found.
I'm missing the show but I'll stay in control till I drown.

A graze on your head
and blood on the door.
How much longer before you
don't take this shit anymore?

An open heart is an open door.
What you give is what you're looking for.
I bit my hands and I hold the truth,
I've been to a lie like you,

Coz you know you're hands are the hands that hold me down.
Your words are the words that can't be found.
I'm missing the show but I'll stay in control till I drown.

And I will light up, I will light up, I will light up now.
I will light up, I will light up, I will light up now.
Oh I will light up, I will light up, I will light up now.

An open heart is an open door.
What you give is what you're looking for.
I bit my hands and I hold the truth.
I've been to a lie like you.
Coz you know your hands won't be the hands that hold me down.
Your words won't be the words that can't be found.
We're missing the show coz we're out of control till we drown.
