The Audition - Ether Lyrics

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 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 even 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 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

Oh girl, you know
Everywhere I want to go
I won't stop, I can't stop
'Til I get just what I want
[x2]

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 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
