Lyrics

    I can take it
    Sideways
    Sometimes
    Some things
    Feel like
    I'm on the other side
    Waves
    Of every feeling ever felt

    Hold it close
    (So) I can taste it

    I've watched this scene a thousand times
    And in my head
    This is how it all begins
    Yes, I am becoming
    And this is how it all begins
    What did you expect?
    This is not an exit
    This has begun

    I can almost see
    The blackest eyes
    The new flesh
    A new disguise
    ...Welcoming...

    Please

    Give it to me
    I can take it
    Give it to me

    I can take it
