Lyrics for The Iron Rose

You're the one that I want The only one that I want You're the one that I want The only one that I want All these forgeries perched upon my shoulders Maybe they will go away These wires get crossed holding cables that are frayed Let 'em hang Ten thousand phantoms rushed through me And I know I'll regret it If you have watched me mid-eclipse Then you should know that it's not safe inside my mind You'rе the one that I want The only onе that I want (I want) You're the one that I want The only one that I want (I want) Maybe I am cold and mirrorless, maybe I'm caught in the cold Every time you let me, I can look down the needle's eye I never wanted to fail, but I always fail Ten thousand fathoms underneath Can you feel my hands? Oh Watchin' me close to endless sleep Then you should know that it's not safe inside my mind You're the one that I want The only one that I want Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go You're the one that I want (Oh-oh) The only one that I want (Oh-oh) Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go You're the one that I want (Oh-oh) The only one that I want (Oh-oh) Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go You're the one that I want (Oh-oh) The only one that I want (Oh-oh) Mercy in the crosshairs, let me go Maybe I am cold and mirrorless Maybe I'm caught in the cold
