Lyrics: 

Last night before my pillow gave way to my head
It said
Drink my wine
Smoke my cigarettes and talk to the dead
It said
The window's wide open get up
I'll make your eyes red
The matchmakers making a match
To burn down your bed

Silhouettes are the things I know
And the things not known yet
Not yet
In time you'll see what's not known
No not to me yet

It said
The window's wide open get up
I'll make your eyes red
The matchmakers making a match
To burn down your bed

All this time it's been killing me
If I walk through that door
I'll never return
'Cause you speak and your words are like fire
Your eyes are still filled with admiration
That was once shown to me
Freely but now stripped away
And I'm pale as a ghost
And I'm whiter than snow
'Cause inside I'm so hollow, hollow

Don't bring back all those things
All those memories those ways,
It's okay

I'll forget, I'll live on day by day

It was a waste
All those tears that fell far from my face
My face.
I wanna be free from my thoughts
And free from this place
This place

The windows wide open
I'll walk away
It's a disgrace,
But you're content with your actions and this lie
So why do I try?

All this time it's been killing me
If I walk thru that door I'll never return.
'Cause you speak and your words are like fire
Your eyes are still filled with admiration
That was once shown to me
Freely but now stripped away
And I'm pale as a ghost
And I'm whiter than snow
'Cause inside I'm so hollow, hollow

Don't bring back all those things
All those memories those way
It's okay

I'll forget, I'll live on day by day
