lyrics

I hold tight to this secret
Just one lie to remain
I take a bite of your apple
Now I'm stuck in the game

Lay all my cards on the table
to your defiant silence
Now there's a burden on my heart
Where will I find asylum?

Round and round we fall
With a battle cry
We crawl
Watch the moon outshine the sun
We die every time we run
Every time we run

We're like the hammer and the anvil
Colliding in the dark
We're like the hammer and the anvil
Waiting, waiting for a spark

In merciless silence
You deny the light we find
The poison courses through my veins
How could I have been so blind?

Are you the Great Pretender?
I lay betrayed and wasted
Or are you really in love?
And just damned to chase it?

Round and round we fall
With a battle cry
We crawl
Watch the moon outshine the sun
Are you ready to begin?
Are you ready to dig in?

Just like the hammer and the anvil
Colliding in the dark
We're like the hammer and the anvil
Waiting, waiting for a spark

I said
Now you've caught my eye, yeah
You just broke into my mind, baby
Here we go
Gotta move
Cause you just won't let me be
Don't be cold
I been sold, baby
How long before you see?

We're like the hammer and the anvil
Colliding in the dark
We're like the hammer and the anvil
Tryin', tryin' for a
Hammer and the anvil
Colliding in the dark
We're like the hammer and the anvil
Fightin' Fightin' for the spark
