Em
Hold my breath just to disappear
Maybe I'll start lettin' go of
                          C
the mess that was left behind
Hope you don't reappear
In the rearview mirror that
    Bm                    Em
I keep in the back of my mind

Em
Cold eyes still stare at me
'Cause I see you when I'm sleepin'
                                C
And I'm dreamin' that it ended fine
Don't like the simplicity
That you let me go easy
       Bm
Was it easy for you every time?

Chorus:
C                  Am
Silver lines ain't savin' you
Em
I've entered the mania
C  Am Em
I'm alive
Silver lines ain't savin' you
I've entered the mania
I'm alive

  Em
I wanna embrace, brace the mania
I'm gonna taste, taste the mania

Your words still burden me
Like a stain in my jacket
I tried, but I just can't get out
Don't you remember me?
Like a child, I still held on to you
Filled me up with your doubt

Cold eyes still stare at me
'Cause I see you when I'm sleepin'
And I'm dreamin' that it ended fine
Don't like your sincerity
'Cause you fake it and I see you
And you hide behind empty white lines

Chorus

I wanna embrace, brace the mania
I'm gonna taste, taste the mania

Silver lines ain't savin' you
I've entered the mania
I'm not fine
