Lyrics
VERSE 1
Before the walls come crashing down
And the truth is fully exposed
Before I'm faced with the real world and all of its emotional overload
Get me high on illusions
Take me out of my head
Fool me into believing the night will never come to an end
Won't you please be my escape, my release, my delirium
Show me what I wanna see
Here in the dark you and I can be anything we wanna be
CHORUS
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Tell me another lie, tell me another lie
VERSE 2
Let me tell you a story
About a past that I never had
Let's get lost in the shadows and pretend that I'm everything say I am
I say damn all the ramifications
Let's prolong the inevitable
More than ever before right now what I need is a miracle
I think you could be my escape, my release, my oblivion
Say the things I need to hear
Here in the dark you and I can allow ourselves to disappear
CHORUS
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Before they bring the HOUSELIGHTS up
Tell me another lie, tell me another lie
BRIDGE
And when it's all been said and done
The truth is, fiction is much more fun
I don't care if I am headed towards oblivion
CHORUS
