False Alarm
Heals Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

doubt day by day and fall by night
cursed in the white lies
they drove me out
hate the way to store
my lust on a lifeless heart

try to holding on inside
your state of mind
running afar off my agony

sway down this unfulfilled mind
just try to speak with those eyes

shades of your words
across my tongue
won't last long we have lost anyway

the sound around me are
expelled beneath your eyes
stuck inside you lie to get what i came for

sway down this unfulfilled mind
just try to speak with those eyes




lean on the unspoken wall
somehow this chapter will done
