Hide and Seek

The Birthday Massacre Hide and Seek Lyrics
1.Leaving Tonight

There's a path running under the city
Where the stones and the hills divide
There's a path we can walk through the loss and the pity
She's out of the light, she thought it'd be safer
She said, I wanna go home
Eyes turn grey like her face in the paper
She said, I wanna go home

There's a girl sleeping under the river
Where the snow and the rain collide
There's a girl that we watch and we'll soon be with her
She's out of the light, she doesn't remember
She said, I wanna go home
Face turns white like a sky in December
She said, I wanna go home
I wanna go home

There's a black house burning in the moonlight
We're standing at the door and there's no one in sight
This will all be over tonight
There's something in the dark and I wanna go home
There's someone else here, we're not alone
This will all be over tonight

There's a place we can all be together
Where the moon and the stars reside
There's a place we can go where we'll sleep forever
We're out of the light, we'll never remember
Do you wanna go home?

There's a black house burning in the moonlight
We're standing at the door and there's no one in sight
This will all be over tonight
There's something in the dark and I wanna go home
There's someone else here, we're not alone
This will all be over tonight


2.Down

Tell me why we never cared to do this when we still had time.
We'll never have to give up if we never try.
I know I'll only want it when it's gone, into the fire.
Show me now.
I wish that I could fake it but I don't know how.
I know we'll never make it but I can't stop now.
We're only just beginning and it's over.

Too late. No time, it's over, and now, can't wait.
Now it's too late. No time, it's over, and now, can't wait.
And now, we all fall down.

Into the fire.
And my wishes have all come true.
We all fall down.
I don't want it if I can't be with you.

Leave me here.
I'll never see tomorrow till my eyes are clear.
We never could run faster than the passing years.
I know that I won't miss you till you're gone, into the fire.
Cross my heart, we'll never have to let this end if we don't
start.
We'll never see the light till we step into the dark.

Too late. No time, it's over, and now, can't wait.
Now it's too late. No time, it's over, and now, can't wait.
And now, we all fall down.

Into the fire.
And my wishes have all come true.
We all fall down.
I don't want it if I can't be with you.

There's a lesson that we learn in the pages that we burn.
It's written in the ashes of the fire below.
All the world is spinning round as we crash into the ground.
We'll never be together now.

It's too late.


3.Play With Fire

Her House Of Red Light
Burns Like
Your Wanting Eyes
The Way Is A Way
When We Say
When We Say

We Will
Play With Fire (x2)

And Every Night
The Red Light

Our Time Is Never
Cause We'll Live
Forever

We Will
Play With Fire (x2)

(Interlude)

We Will
Play With Fire (Fire... Fire... Fire)
We will
Play With Fire (x3)


4.Need

You're a curse
I cut my lips on your diamond hands
I'm at my worst
When you're breaking my heart's relent

There's something to say that you don't know
You're walking away when I won't go
This isn't the first time you won't stay
This isn't the last time you will hear me say

Bleed me from the heart
Need me for my heart

I saw you first
You caught me eye in a sideways glance
You're making it worse
When you told me I had my chance

So what can I say to make it clear?
You're running away when I'm still here
This isn't the first time you won't stay
This isn't the last time you will hear me say

Bleed me from the heart
Need me for my heart

Say the words
Sung the song you once wrote
It's like a curse
And I'm winding around my throat

I'd shown you the way but you won't try
You'd tear us apart but this won't die
This isn't the first time you won't stay
This isn't the last time you will hear me say

Bleed me from the heart
Need me for my heart


5.Calling

Come, take a look inside
What you've lost you'll find
What you want is right in front of you
Look underneath the stairs
What's broken is repaired
Now there's nothing left behind, nothing left of you

Voices start to change
Faces rearrange
Eyes roll back and hands are pulling you down
They're dragging you beneath
Blood between your teeth
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over your

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started

Eyes hiding in the hall
Hanging on the wall
Through this broken window
Feeling the cold
Distance of the moon
In this empty room
Now there's nothing left behind, and it's all because of you

Cover your ears
You don't wanna hear
The whispers in the walls are making it clear
You're all by yourself
There is no one else
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over your

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started

Hands cover your eyes
Now that you realize
All the things you loved were never here
What's lost will be found
Buried under ground
You'll sleep when the shadow moves over you

Black eyes
I hear you calling out for me tonight
No rest for the soon departed
Black eyes
You won't be dreaming when you sleep tonight
I'll finish what you started


6.Alibis

I saw you in a photograph.
The Answer is in your eyes.
It's dragging me back to everything else
we left behind.
You're hiding inside a perfect life.
A picture of us.
I'm hearing you whisper alibis.

There is a shadow here,
but there's no light behind me.
The stains of blood on the floor
serve to remind me.
That time is drawing near
Turns like a knife inside me.
I've never wanted it more
Come stand beside me.

The walls are moving closer now
This feeling won't wash away
The message is clear
'There's nobody here, just walk away'
I'm waiting for you
I'm all alone.
And through the wall I'm hearing you whisper alibis.

There is a shadow here
but there's no light behind me
the stains of blood on the floor
serve to remind me
that time is drawing near
turns like a knife inside me
I've never wanted it more
come stand beside me

there's a shadow that we cast aside
in the blood that we left behind

I've never wanted it more
come stand beside me

There was never any light behind
feel it turn like a knife inside me

I've never wanted it more
come stand beside me

come stand beside me


7.One Promise

Watching at the window
The room has been dark since yesterday
Making sure the door's locked
Making sure the toys are put away

I know a secret
You disappear without a sound
Tie it up and tear it down

I try to remember our time together
One promise ruined everything
I never noticed the way you look at me
One deception you can't keep from me

Watching from the back seat
Waiting for the light to disappear
I wonder where the night went
Looking down the road that led us here

I used to know you
But that was in another life
And I can't wait another night

Do you remember last December?
One promise ruined everything
I never noticed
Dying in a dream
One deception you can't keep from me


8.In This Moment

When I was younger
The days all seemed to last
So much longer
But that was once upon a time

There was no one to remind us
A shadow waits behind us
To steal our breath away

In this moment
We pretend we're all that matters
We're endless
Do you think this is forever?

Pretending, believing
That we're safe here
This moment is endless

You run from your shadow
And wait here in the dark for tomorrow
As the days turn into night
When you're looking in the mirror
You can't ignore your fear
There's nothing on the other side

In this moment
We pretend we're all that matters
We're endless
Do you think this is forever?

Pretending, believing
That we're safe here
This moment is endless

In this moment
We pretend we're all that matters
We're endless
Do you think this is forever?

Pretending, believing
That we're safe here
This moment is endless


9.Cover My Eyes

I remember the clouds in the summer
And how the light kissed my eyes
When I was a child, it was always this
A life that I left behind

Remember the sun
Remember the rain
They're never going to touch me again

Cover my eyes tonight
Don't let me see the light

Forever the cold of the winter
Forever the moon in my eyes
Now that you're here, it is always this
I fall to the night and the sky

Forever I crawl
Forever I cry
I don't know who I am anymore tonight

Cover my eyes tonight
Don't let me see the light

All that we are, never the same
All that we know is all that remains
Remember the sun
Remember the rain
They're never going to touch me again tonight

Don't let me see the light


10.The Long Way Home

Here in the dark
Don't fall asleep
We walk though the smoke
Trying not to breathe
Don't let me go
Stay close to me

Don't look behind us
There's nothing to see

Below
Let me go
From here I know, it's a long way home

Into the woods
Under the trees
We follow the trail down to the sea
There's nowhere to hide
Don't wait for me

Don't look behind you
There's nothing to see

Below
Let me go
From here I know, it's a long way home
