Blackout

[Verse 1]
It's frightening how you can’t see the changes happening when they move so fast
Like lightning, except the odds are growing these lonely times will strike me twice

[Pre-Chorus]
The screams of a thousand voices are whispers inside my head
The echoes of self defense

[Chorus]
So how many times will it take to cover up the past mistakes that hide behind a crying face of shame?
And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times?

[Verse 2]
It's biting when the cold wind blows through weathered eyes and blistered skin
It's quiet now
It's like the calm before the raging violence of the storm begins

[Pre-Chorus]
And when this comes crashing down, I'll fall harder than before
I'll start this all over now

[Chorus]
So how many times will it take to cover up the past mistakes that hide behind a crying face of shame?
And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times before?

[Bridge]
I'll beg for the ending or just for forgiveness
I'll wait in the shadows of a battle I'm close to losing

[Chorus]
So how many times will it take to cover up the smiling face of silence, this face of shame?
And how many nights will I lie awake underneath blackened skies I've cursed out so many times before?
Before, times before
So many times
