[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
What would possess you to justify
Such dark and twisted ways?
What kind of monster would come to feast
When the devil shows his face?
What does it take for life to change
And a mind to lose control?
Cruelly left you to suffer the blame
After all the lies you told
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I am finding courage in my darkest hour
I am bent, not broken
Calling out
[Chorus]
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away!
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day!
[Verse 2]
Can you see the stranger
Hiding in plain sight?
Feeding on the chaos
When the lightning strikes
There's no redemption
There's no being saved
There's no salvation
For a soul depraved
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You are finding promise in your finest hour
You are bent, not broken
Calling out
[Chorus]
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away!
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day!
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Someone save me, look behind the veil
Please don't walk away!
Someone save me, bring me home tonight
I can't face another day!
[Instrumental Outro]
