Surrounded by many people, like a ghost on every street A velvety lie wrapped in such a sweet melody My mother's voice still echoes loudly Like church bells in my bones A friend to all is a friend to none (She was absolutely right) You played the saint under the stolen light, a savior with a smile But saints don't deal with empty notes that drag you into sin I saw how they followed you, like spineless shadows A crowd of empty silhouettes Convinced that their darkness was divine And you almost made me dance on your tightrope One more step and I would have drowned in your charm Oh, you demon with a melody A damned work of art You don't steal souls You make them surrender their hearts With a melody so pure it hides all the scars Yes, you almost dragged me to the bottom of the well with the rest of your stars But I heard the silence screaming through your tone You love no one You just He hates being alone So keep your flute and your fucking throne I'm no longer a child you're taking home You held your heart out in your hand as if it meant something real But it beat like cheap percussion Pure effect, no feeling You chose sound over soul The crowd over truth A king of empty kingdoms built on stolen youth I watched them fall between the cracks of every note you played A parade of beautiful victims beginning to slowly decompose They called it magic, they called you a myth They said you were an envoy from heaven But I could feel the poison in your sweet experiment You came too close, I almost crossed the line I almost traded my whole voice just to be part of your plan Oh, you demon with a melody A damn work of art You don't steal souls You make them give you their hearts With a melody so pure it hides all the scars Yeah, you almost dragged me to the bottom of Well with the rest of your stars But I heard the silence screaming through your tone You love no one You just hate being alone So keep your flute and your fucked-up throne I'm no longer a child you're taking home Yes, I felt that attraction in my veins Like a drug disguised as golden choruses You smiled as if you knew I was going to break As if I were just another soul to take But I saw the cracks under your skin The empty echo hidden inside You don't play music, you control everything A master of the strings without a soul So play your music Watch them all disappear So play your music Watch them all disappear So play your music Watch them all disappear So play your music Watch them all disappear Oh, demon with your melody, a beautiful disease Made millions of blind believers kneel You can keep your illusion, your chorus of lies Your symphony of ghosts with empty eyes Because I chose silence in Take control of yourself Better deaf than dancing with an empty soul So grab your flute and go haunt your own soul I was never yours
