Echoes in the neon city
A pulse I can’t erase
I wanna break free, but secrets stain my skin
This mirror hides my face
The scent of velvet whispers
(Whispers in my veins)
I wanna stay, but I wanna touch
Lost inside forbidden flames
Why, why — was I born in this form?
Even when I lie to me
But still, I’m so afraid
The heat inside pulls me deeper
(Pull me in, pull me in)
Knocking on my twisted door
(Open up, open up)
Shaking off my haunted voice
I reach for that glow
To claim my tomorrow
(Yeah, yeah)
Stars flicker in the black sky
Quiet eyes judge my heart
I see the road, but chains around my soul
Courage still torn apart
Reflections blur like poison
Call me to my sin
(Calling me, calling me)
I wanna stay, but I wanna touch
Why, why — was I born in this form?
Even when I lie to me
But still, I’m so afraid
The heat inside pulls me deeper
(Pull me in, pull me in)
Knocking on my twisted door
(Open up, open up)
Shaking off my haunted voice
(Shake it off, shake it off)
I reach for that glow
To claim my tomorrow
(Yeah, yeah)
I know so few can see my soul
(Few, few)
But this fire is my silent truth
And that truth — it tears my heart apart
Still I dance in wounded youth
(Why, why, tell me why)
I reach for that glow
To claim my tomorrow
(Yeah, yeah)
I become who I want to be.
(Finally free)
