Blackout

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's frightening how you can't see the changes happening when they move so fast Like lightning, except the odds are growing these lonely times will strike me twice [Pre-Chorus] The screams of a thousand voices are whispers inside my head The echoes of self defense [Chorus] So how many times will it take to cover up the past mistakes that hide behind a crying face of shame? And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times? [Verse 2] It's biting when the cold wind blows through weathered eyes and blistered skin It's quiet now It's like the calm before the raging violence of the storm begins [Pre-Chorus] And when this comes crashing down, I'll fall harder than before I'll start this all over now [Chorus] So how many times will it take to cover up the past mistakes that hide behind a crying face of shame? And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times before? [Bridge] I'll beg for the ending or just for forgiveness I'll wait in the shadows of a battle I'm close to losing [Chorus] So how many times will it take to cover up the smiling face of silence, this face of shame? And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times before? Before, times before So many times
