Ether - The Audition

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

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
