You can't speak, you can't sleep

You daren't move, you're confused

You never talk, you can't walk

You can't feel, you're not real



If I open my eyes, just far enough

I can see what you're doing

Go on tight to the end, it's tough enough

When you're on the road to ruin. Yeah



         You're a hostage of the heart

         Twisted round the smallest finger

         Two burning eyes are tearing you apart

         Turn your soul into a cinder



There's no rest, you're possessed

You can't leave, you can't breathe

The door slams, your head hangs

You blank stare, you don't care



If you open your eyes just far enough

You can see the street lamps flicker

Go on fight to the end it's tough enough

When you know the end is bitter



         Repeat Chorus



You're numbers up, you're eyes shut

You're on the brink, you can't think

You wanna run, but you're stunned

You can't lie, you don't try



If I open my eyes look hard enough

I see the blue light flashing.

Go on fight to the end, it's tough enough

Riding on the road to ashes
