Precious Dark
There's a place I don't want you to know ofHidden deep in a blindfolded heart -Where the desperate walk in silenceWaiting for the ghosts to depart
There's a game I don't want you to know ofMasquerade, Cirque du DècadenceA pawn in an empty chessboardMoved around by a hand of a fool
Never played it safeIt's a wicked gameAny hand, any call, I'm in
It said: "Love like you've never been hurtAnd dance till dawn like you've just been bornA perfect toy made by perfect toolsPlaying Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of foolsTake a hold of my hand, I have sights to show youGingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big BlueTurn off the light, close your eyes wide shutAnd welcome the precious dark"
I have seen far, I've never seen closeThere are no mirrors on my wallSilent is the call of my oceanAnd the sirens washed ashoreAll the sins they have long shadowsTurn the switch and the past comes aliveLive and learn, 1, 2, 3, know your ABCIt's their answer to every "why"
Never played it safeIt's a wicked gameAny hand, any call, I'm in
It said:" Love like you've never been hurtAnd dance till dawn like you've just been bornA perfect toy made by perfect toolsPlaying Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of foolsTake a hold of my hand, I have sights to show youGingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big BlueTurn off the light, close your eyes wide shutAnd welcome the precious dark"
There was always a place that you knew ofYou were holding the keys all alongThere was always a game that you knew ofNow you're one of them washed ashore
