Grainy flashbacks, purple lightning
In my electric chair
I'm too frozen and paralyzed
To even try to escape

This is my electric chair

Tear me down, tear me down
Why am I still hanging on
Your blade is dull, but my string is so frail
That it's easy to cut it

I'm too jaded to even fake it
Tell me it's too late
It's all faded, could you break it
Before this turns into hate

This is my electric chair

Time is running out
Still you fill me with your shout
Time is running out

You have always tried to reach for something
More than there's to find
You softly lean against my pride
And whisper as I cry...

No, would you lie
Set me free, let me breathe
Don't want another try
Oh, could you lie

It's easier to leave
Than trying to believe
In something that never was

It's easier to stay
Than trying to find a way
On a road that might not exist

It's just a moment,
It's just a moment,
Would you risk your life?
