Perfect Alibi - Sonic Syndicate

Are you listening?

Are you really there?

I’m open to suggestions

Do you even care?

Because within, I die the more and more we lie

Hope seems to grow outside our reality of life

There’s a fragile part of me

That needs some help to heal

Hold a candlelight for me

And don’t let it go out

Whispering those words you like

We’re lying here side by side

Secrets don’t stay secret for long

We’ll write the perfect alibi

And tell them all how we tried

But in the end, they’ll find out anyway

So let’s make an honest mistake

Tell me, do you ever admit to it

Being more than just a dream?

Let’s keep it a memory

Keep it locked behind the silver screen

I know it’s wrong, but it’s all feeling kind of right

Something big is changing;

it’s in the air tonight

There’s a fragile part of me

That needs some help to heal

(Needs some help to heal)

Hold a candlelight for me

And don’t let it go out

Whispering those words you like

We’re lying here side by side

Secrets don’t stay secret for long

We’ll write the perfect alibi

And tell them all how we tried

But in the end, they’ll find out anyway

So let’s make an honest mistake

We’ve all made some honest mistakes

Even you, the road that led me here

For you, the one who made it clear

For you, I’ve been struck down

And built back up pound by pound

For you, I would if I could

But you are gone and

There’s nothing left to do except keep…

(Secrets don’t stay secret for long)

Whispering those words you like

We’re lying here side by side

Secrets don’t stay secret for long

We’ll write the perfect alibi

(Secrets don’t stay secret for long)

And tell them all how we tried

But in the end, they’ll find out anyway

(Long…)

So let’s make an honest mistake

Are you listening?

Are you even there?
