lyrics

THE INVITATION

STRETCH A HAND AS IN AN OPEN INVITATION
PULL ME IN FOR I FEEL THE SWIRLING MOTION
A SENSE OF DANGER COMES TO MIND
BEFORE I KNOW IT
I GET MY FACE TO THE GROUND
SAY HEY, I DIDN’T SEE IT COME
AS YOU HANGED UP THE PHONE
A VOID WAS THERE CREATED
HEY, I THOUGHT YOU TOOK ME IN
INSTEAD I FEEL THE SPIN
TAKING MY WORLD INTO THE HOLE
FARTHER AWAY FROM HOME

I THOUGHT YOU TOOK ME
INSTEAD I FEEL THE SPIN

NOW YOUR SILENCE PREVAILS AMONG THE QUESTIONS
AS IN A GAME YOU CONFUSE WHAT IS LEFT FOR OPTIONS
MENTAL ILLS ARE ON YOUR MIND
I LOSE MY WILL LIKE BLOOD INTO THE SAND
SO HEY, IF I HAD KNOWN BEFORE
THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SCORE
I WOULD HAVE CHECKED FOR REFERENCE
HEY, WHERE’S THAT KEY FOR THE DOOR
AND WHAT’S THAT CHAIN ON THE FLOOR
I SMELL A FIRE BURNING
THAT BRIDGE IS THERE NO MORE

WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES IT MAKE
IF I BREAK AWAY
WHAT IS THE DISTANCE
BEFORE I REACH YESTERDAY
WHAT KIND OF PLEASURE
DO YOU GET OUT OF THIS
HOW DO YOU MEASURE
THE DEPTH OF THE ABYSS

SO I BOUGHT INTO YOUR OPEN INVITATION
THE COST IS HIGH FOR A BUNCH OF STOLEN EMOTIONS
WHEN PROFIT WAS ON YOUR MIND
ALL THE TIME I THOUGHT WE WERE PARTNERS IN CRIME
SAY HEY, I DIDN’T SEE IT COME
AS YOU HANGED UP THE PHONE
A VOID WAS THERE CREATED
HEY, I THOUGHT YOU TOOK ME IN
INSTEAD I FEEL THE SPIN
TAKING MY WORLD INTO THE HOLE
FARTHER AWAY FROM HOME

I DIDN’T SEE IT COME
WHEN YOU HANGED UP THE PHONE
