Pirouette Prisoner Lyrics by The Paper Melody

The Nightmare Academy

2011

[Verse 1]
All alone, I know
I know I should let go
I know I should
Oh, I tried so hard
To shake this reflection
It's haunting me
[Chorus]
Swear that you'll never lock me inside
With no light, it's hard to see right through you
These words have left me broken
All the pieces spinning circles, circles around me
And you leave me, leave me with nothing at all
[Verse 2]
Left in darkness you
You leave me to decay
Don't hide my grace away
Just spare me a moment, despair is my home
It's a tomb filled with treasures and terrors of love
Oh, you can bury me, just bury me
[Chorus]
Swear that you'll never lock me inside
With no light, it's hard to see right through you
These words have left me broken
All the pieces spinning circles, circles around me
And you leave me, leave me with nothing at all
[Bridge]
Dead, not alive, but human inside
The burden is mine
Open me up, there's more inside of me
Now turn the key
Dead, not alive, but human inside
The burden is mine
[Chorus]
Swear that you'll never lock me inside
With no light, it's hard to see right through you
These words have left me broken
All the pieces spinning circles, circles around me
And you leave me, leave me with nothing at all
