Ether

Can someone please just shake the lies out of me?
It seems that every word I say
Don't mean a thing
I've tried so hard to reel you closer to freedom
With every cast, I just exhaust all my options

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
It's so damn hard
To push my pride to the side

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less

I fear I'm constantly restricted by shackles
This so-called ball and chain
Is all I have ever known
I've climbed some mountains
I thought I'd never tackle
They gave me sense of hope
And most of all, sense of home

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
I've tried for nights
To write a new beginning
And failed every time

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less

Oh, girl, you know
Everywhere I wanna go
I won't stop, I can't stop
Till I get just the one I want (x2)

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
Oh, it's so damn hard

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never coming home again
I know that it's for the best
Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less
