There’s a place I don’t want you to know of
 Hidden deep in a blindfolded heart -
 Where the desperate walk in silence,
 Waiting for the ghosts to depart

 There’s a game I don’t want you to know of
 Masquerade, Cirque du Dècadence
 pawn in an empty chessboard
 Moved around by a hand of a fool

 Never played it safe
 It’s a wicked game
 Any hand, any call, I’m in

It said: "Love like you’ve never been hurt
 And dance till dawn like you’ve just been born
 perfect toy made by perfect tools
 Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools
 Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you
 Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue
 Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut
 And [bad word] the precious dark"

 I have seen far, I’ve never seen close
 There are no mirrors on my wall
 Silent is the call of my ocean
 And the sirens washed ashore

 All the sins they have long shadows
 Turn the switch and the [bad word] alive
 Live and learn, 1,2,3, know your ABC
 It’s their answer to every "why"

 Never played it safe
 It’s a wicked game
 Any hand, any call, I’m in

It said:" Love like you’ve never been hurt
 And dance till dawn like you’ve just been born
 perfect toy made by perfect tools
 Playing Ring Around the Rosie with a crowd of fools
 Take a hold of my hand, I have sights to show you
 Gingerbread house, Pleasure Island, Big Blue
 Turn off the light, close your eyes wide shut
 And [bad word] the precious dark"

 There was always a place that you knew of
 You were holding the keys all along
 There was always a game that you knew of
 Now you’re one of them washed ashore
