"Lights off as ever the road to sleep Is closed for thought, you're welcome to visit me, babe In the meantime it'd be nice to see you But I know you've been trying to keep your demons at bay
Too late we can darken the darkest rooms To test your strength You're so proud of the things you're not doing We've been through this, you say you won't do them Like you couldn't though we both know You've done them with me babe Well regardless it's been nice to see you I know you've been trying to keep your demons at bay To keep us at bay To keep me in bay"
Take me away darling family I feel like I'm losing a thread When I'm alone with my vanity I go back to striving after wind 'Til I could trade our happiness for a melody And someone to sing it with me
We're like our lovers We love our children Nothing to see here Nothing to hear, listen We're just pretending We want more freedom Nothing to see here Nothing to hear, listen
When I first met you dear family I had so much time on my hands No one to question my vanity Or keep me from striving after wind Everything was meaningless but these melodies That keep coming to me
We're like our lovers We love our children Nothing to see here Nothing to hear, listen We're just pretending We want more freedom Nothing to see here Nothing to hear, listen It's 4 a. m Our families are sleeping We're all alone Our demons are hissing "What if you're wrong? You might be wrong What if you're wrong? You might be
[Part 3: Thile & Witcher Thile] What if you're wrong? You might be wrong What if you're wrong? You might be What if you're wrong? Is it all your fault? Has it been too long? Is this all for naught? Are you so far gone That you can't get caught? And what if you're wrong? âCause you might be
I know you think that you can keep your feelings in the dark Calling every heart a spade and every spade a heart Even as the dreams you've been burying alive Start to dig each other up in the dead of night Now they're marching from the cemetery to your bed I'm on your shoulder warning you They're coming for your head You're saying "get behind me, you're the devil's spawn" But listen to me, that wouldn't make me wrong Do you doubt me? You doubt me
Babe I've been down this road a time or two before It's paved with intentions every bit as good as yours Takes you away from what you wish you didn't want So it must be right, right? Ha! Why don't you ask your family why you're working like a dog Who thinks he's getting paid in credit at the butcher shop Or you could ask the queen of the ones who got away Who can't remember why she chose your rival by the way Maybe you've already dug yourself too deep a hole Mining for the pretty things that satisfy your soul A soul it sounds like I'll be getting for a song I hope you're ready, you better hope I'm wrong As I might be"
