Dolce Syndicate

Lyrics

Midnight lock on a stranger's door
Footsteps echoing down the floor
Chasing a high that fades too fast
Wondering why the warmth won't last
A crowded room, a quiet smile
Just trying to fill the empty mile

They call it power, they call it play
They don't see the child of the light of day
It starts with a spark, it ends in the cold
Another hand that I'm forced to hold

And the skin won't fix what the heart broke down
Drowning in bodies all over this town
I'm looking for me in a stranger's eyes
Wrapped up tight in a warm disguise
Yeah, the hunger burns and the morning clears
Leaving the same old quiet tears

Phone face down on the kitchen side
Nowhere left for the truth to hide
A rush of fire, a sudden freeze
Bringing me down hard to my knees
The temporary cure for pain
Just leaves me dancing in the rain

They call it wild, they call it free
They don't know what it's doing to me
It starts with a rush, it ends in the dark
A fading light and a missing spark

And the skin won't fix what the heart broke down
Drowning in bodies all over this town
I'm looking for me in a stranger's eyes
Wrapped up tight in a warm disguise
Yeah, the hunger burns and the morning clears
Leaving the same old quiet tears

And I want to stay, and I want to be
Someone who doesn't need the key
To open every locked-up door
To find out I'm still wanting more
Of nothing at all

Just the cold sheet
Just the quiet room
Trying to find a way out of the gloom
Just me
