The curtain falls on another day And it's hard to say where all the time has gone to Then you start up again while running on "Empty" And the hill you gotta climb is as tall as it's always been Everything ends Right where it started from Returning to the void we were in before all this began And we leave mostly the same Just a little less sane Hold me again Hold me like last time And don't let me win When I'm at war with myself Yeah, hold me again Hold me back like the last time Until I give in And I stop fighting myself Yeah, hold me again Hold me down like the last time And don't let me win When I'm at war with myself Yeah, hold me again Hold me just like the last time Until I give in And I stop fighting myself And then it ends And I'm back in my skin Give it time Everything breaks And the cross you always thought that you'd have to bear Is now somebody else's And maybe always was But the weight of it still presses you down Like some phantom limb Well, everything ends Right where it started from Returning to the void we were in before all this began And we leave mostly the same Just a little less sane And we learned how to complain Break me again Break me like last time And don't let me win Until these pieces all fit Yeah, break me again Break me just like the last time Because surrender is just another name For giving back the things I stole from you Hold me again Hold me like last time Until I give in And I stop fighting myself Yeah, hold me again Hold me back like the last time And don't let me win When I'm at war with myself Yeah, hold me again Hold me down like the last time And don't let me win When I'm at war with myself Don't let me win Don't let me win
