The Audition

Ether

Can someone please just shake the lies out of me?

It seems that every word I say don't mean a thing

I've tried so hard to reel you closer to freedom

But with every cast I just exhaust all my options

Tonight, tonight we're going to make all the headlines

It's so damn hard to push my pride to the side

I'll take back everything I said

But know that I'm never coming home again

I know that it's for the best

Come back when I know I've been

Washed clean, of my emptiness

When these words aren't meaningless

I feel I'm constantly restricted by shackles

This so-called 'ball and chain' is all I've ever known

I've climbed some mountains I thought I'd never tackle

They gave me sense of hope, and most of all, a sense of home

Tonight, tonight we are gonna make all the headlines

I've tried for nights to write a new beginning, and failed every time

I'll take back everything I said.

But know that I'm never coming home again.

I know that it's for the best.

I'll come back when I know I've been

Washed clean of my emptiness

When these words aren't meaningless.

Oh girl, you know everywhere I want to go

I won't stop, I can't stop

'Til I get just what I want
