A cloak of persian leather

Behind the TV screen

I've fallen to my knees

I'm hanging by a thread and Im feeling like a fool

I need to get away

G#         F#      
   Blanket of silence
F#(9)            C#       B        G#
makes me want to sink my teeth in deep
         F#
Burn all the evidence
  F#(9)  C#    B     G#
A fabricated disbelief
F#            F#(9)      C#        B         G#
Pull back the curtains take a look into your eyes
 F#           F#(9)        C#           B      G#
My tongue has now become a platform for your lies
