"Alibis" lyrics - THE BIRTHDAY MASSACRE

I saw you in a photograph, the answer is in your eyes
It's dragging me back to everything else we left behind
You're hiding inside a perfect life, a picture of us
I'm hearing you whisper alibis

[Chorus:]
There is a shadow here, but there's no light behind me
The stains of blood on the floor serve to remind me
The time is drawing near, turns like a knife inside me
I've never wanted it more, come stand beside me

The walls are moving closer now, this feeling won't wash away
The message is clear: "There's nobody here. Just walk away"
I'm waiting for you, I'm all alone
And through the wall I'm hearing you whisper alibis

[Chorus:]
There is a shadow here, but there's no light behind me
The stains of blood on the floor serve to remind me
The time is drawing near, turns like a knife inside me
I've never wanted it more, come stand beside me

[Bridge:]
There's a shadow that we cast aside
In the blood that we left behind
I've never wanted it more, come stand beside me
There was never any light behind
Feel it turn like a knife inside me
I've never wanted it more, come stand beside me

[Outro:]
Come stand beside me
