Lyrics

The Sound (Live)

[Verse 1]

And wide are your delusions

Deep red is the space behind your eyes

Closed forever is the door to your room

But inside there, lives the sound

You despise, but I love

You despise, I love

You despise, I love

I love, I love

[Verse 2]

[Scream]

I was wrong

I am wrong

I am wrong

[Vocalisations]
