Writing On the Wall

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

In the dark

There's always a corner of light somewhere

I can see it when you close your eyes

And in my heart there's always a specter

Of you in there

I can see it when you close your eyes

I believe

Yes, I do

I got faith and I got love

Me and you

I was sure we would rise

And overcome

But my heart tells the truth

Like the beating of a drum

Like the beating of a drum

I don't want this anymore

So you can't give up

But I can't keep giving

Oh, if you go higher

We will fall

And I won't wake up

To the lie we're living

We are writings on the wall

On my skin those scars

From the pieces of this heart ache

You can see them in the neon lights

And deep within the love

That we lost long ago

I'll break

And I never wanna say goodbye

I believe

Yes, I do

I got faith and I got love

It was you

You and I

Like an echo from above

But my heart tells the truth

Like the beating of a drum

Like the beating of a drum

I don't want this anymore

So you can't give up

But I can't keep giving

Oh, if you go higher

We will fall

And I won't wake up

To the lie we're living

We are writings on the wall

Writings on the wall

We are writings on the wall

Writings on the wall

We are writings on the wall

In the dark

There's always a corner of light somewhere

So you can't give up

But I can't keep giving

Oh, if you go higher

We will fall

And I won't wake up

To the lie we're living

We are writings on the wall

So you can't give up

But I can't keep giving

You go higher

We will fall

And I won't wake up

To the lie we're living

We are writings on the wall

Writings on the wall

We are writings on the wall

Writings on the wall

We are writings on the wall
