Clavinet: Daniel Lazerus
Violin: Bobby Valentino

You can`t speak, you can`t sleep
You daren`t move, you`re confused
You never talk, you can`t walk
You can`t feel, you`re not real

If I open my eyes, just far enough
I can see what you`re doing
Go on tight to the end, it`s tough enough
When you`re on the road to ruin. Yeah

You`re a hostage of the heart
Twisted round the smallest finger
Two burning eyes are tearing you apart
Turn your soul into a cinder

There`s no rest, you`re possessed
You can`t leave, you can`t breathe
The door slams, your head hangs
You blank stare, you don`t care

If you open your eyes just far enough
You can see the street lamps flicker
Go on fight to the end it`s tough enough
When you know the end is bitter

Repeat Chorus

You`re numbers up, you`re eyes shut
You`re on the brink, you can`t think
You wanna run, but you`re stunned
You can`t lie, you don`t try

If I open my eyes look hard enough
I see the blue light flashing.
Go on fight to the end, it`s tough enough
Riding on the road to ashes
