VERSE 1.
Take my sins
I can't hold it in
I can feel the walls
They breathe me in

Black and white
And the grey is wide
Panning turns
And the tale decides

PRE-CHORUS 1.
Lover's deaths
Dangerous threats
Closeup shots
In silence they met

CHORUS 1.
Flashbacks in the cinema
The hero lives in splendour
Enemies surrender
Celluloid darlings that seem to mean nothing at all

VERSE 2.
Take my tears
From the suicide scenes
The evidence is clear
Through the light from the screen

Like crackles and dust
On the film rust
Then the credits run
And the curtain's up

PRE-CHORUS 2.
Lover's deaths
Dangerous threats
Closeup shots
In silence they met

CHORUS 2.
Flashbacks in the cinema
The hero lives in splendour
Enemies surrender
Celluloid darlings that seem to mean nothing at all
