The Audition › Lyrics › 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
With every cast I just exhaust all my options

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
It's so damn hard
To push my pride to the side

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never comin' home again
I know that it's for the best, oh

Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less, oh

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 more so sense of home

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
I've tried for nights to write a new beginning
And failed every time

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never comin' home again
I know that it's for the best, oh

Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less, oh

Oh girl, you know
Everywhere I wanna go
I won't stop, I can't stop
Till I get just what I want

Oh girl, you know
Everywhere I wanna go
I won't stop, I can't stop
Till I get just what I want

Tonight, tonight
We're gonna make all the headlines
Oh, it's so damn hard

Take back everything I said
Know that I'm never comin' home again
I know that it's for the best, oh

Come back when I know I've been
Washed clean of my emptiness
With these words, I'm leaving less, oh
