TITLE. LYRICS

Studio version

No love lost

So long sitting here
Didn't hear the warning
Waiting for the tape to run
We've been moving around in different situations
Knowing that the time would come
Just to see you torn apart
Witness to your empty heart
I need it

Two-way mirror in the hall
They like to watch everything you do
Transmitters hidden in the walls
So they know everything you say is true
Turn it on. Don't turn it on. Turn it on

You've been seeing things
In darkness, not in learning
Hoping that the truth will pass
No life underground, wasting never changing
Wishing that this day won't last
To never see you show your age
To watch until the beauty fades
I need it
