Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hey, look up
Don't make a spectre of yourself
Living in that ghoulish light
You are a slave to your own creation
Look up, look up, the spell is broken
[Verse 2]
That original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
Original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
[Verse 3]
But I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
[Verse 4]
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
[Verse 5]
Hey, look up
You don't have to be a ghost
Here amongst the living
You are flesh and blood
And you deserve to be loved
And you deserve what you are given
[Verse 6]
That original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
Original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
That original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
Original lifeline, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa, ooh-whoa
[Verse 7]
But I'm the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change
[Verse 8]
(I am the same, I'm the same, I'm trying to change)
'Cause there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
And your face is a disguise
But I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
[Verse 9]
'Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
[Verse 10]
That there's a hole where your heart lies
And I can see it with my third eye
And every touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
And your face is a disguise
But I can see it with my third eye
And though my touch, it magnifies
You pull away, you don't know why
[Verse 11]
'Cause your pain is a tribute
The only thing you let hold you
Wear it now like a mantle
Always there to remind you
