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)
