AH
I cry out the pain that's in my soul
I'm trapped in this world that's so lost
I want to be free
And the bliss is just one thought away
Can you hear me?
I'm falling inside
Can you save me?
I think I've lost this time
Hey
I've got my finger on the trigger
It's such a simple thing to do
Just one squeeze and bang
It's time to quiet all the voices
Can you hear me?
I'm falling inside
Can you save me?
I think I've lost this time
Why?
It's something I need to do so bad
They scream so loud inside my head
I can't hear myself
How is it that I've become so lost?
Can you hear me?
I'm falling inside
Can you save me?
I think I've lost this time
So many paths
Countless labyrinthian corridors
All traveled by silent ponderings
The deepest recesses yet unfound
Her name is Dana
She's one you cannot trust
Avoid her path if you can
She knows how to twist your heart apart
I've taken all that I can take
Take one more step forward if you dare
Please just let me be
Oh why can't you see?
I'm not faking, I'm breaking this time
He's a backstabber
Always nice when your there
You know what he does when you're not
He'll still pat your back, will you strike back?
I've taken all that I can take
Take one more step forward if you dare
Please just let me be
Oh why can't you see?
I'm not faking, I'm breaking this time
They are the players
The think we are their toys
How long do they think we'll take it
One and all we won't take anymore
We've taken all that we can take
Take one more step if you dare
Please just let us be
Oh why can't you see?
We're not faking, we're breaking this time
I've taken all that I can take
You'd better turn back right now
It is time to let me be
This time you will see
I'm not faking, I'm really breaking
I've taken all that I can take
Take one more step if you dare
Please just let me be
Oh why can't you see
I'm not faking, I'm breaking this time
There it is
Those feelings
Those thoughts
They're welling up
They're taking control
Who are you?
Just look in the mirror
I am the only you
How can one be so blind?
It isn't in front but behind
Stalking and waiting
Striking at the last thread
I am you and you are you
We are me
The explanation of the ever-changing
That which isn't is
That which is isn't
Who is both and neither?
A part of me that's inside
Darkness cast upon the heart
It's the way I see the world
A fire to freeze the soul
The burning ice consuming all
Can you see this?
It is the path left too alone
So few feet now trod it's way
Oh the lonely tales it could tell
The grass grows upon it
The branches all are healed
What could have happened?
Why is the trail so disused?
Where could have gone the Men
They who should travel down this lane
Forgotten it may be but it remembers
It's memory does not fade
Can't you come this way?
It's mournful call can be seen
Come back
Come back to this, the right way
The poor dying souls
They were killed with their hearts
This world has such bitter despair
Fed by so many closed hearts
What hope do we have
When Love is the new Hate?
Verse 1
If the devil smiled at you tonight
What would you do?
Will you grasp at your concept of wrong and right?
Do you think they can make it through?
How empty they now seem
The revelation
The showing of your hypocrisy
Verse 2
How long I trudged in the narrow trench
The track of your point of view
Kept from escaping by the burden of your own morality
Why didn't I see then how foolish I was?
It was all my own doing
I was my own warden
Bound by my own misplaced loyalty
Refrain
I have done all I can for you
In the end all I could really do was leave
I had to show you my back
It was the only way to show you I'm not bound by your self delusional dependancy
Lying in bed at night
Each breath is a thought
You wonder what's worth living for
You want there to be so much more
This can't be all that there is
A world of more downs than ups
A life without purpose
Wondering how to find your way
The way to survive
Until there is something to live for
Live for the day to come when there is
A lonely little girl
Curled up with her memories
Wanting to bring back happy days
Wishing she could merge the parted ways
This can't be all that there is
A world of more downs than ups
A life without purpose
Wondering how to find your way
The way to survive
Until there is something to live for
Live for the day to come when there is
Crying tears of a bitter heart
He holds fast the emptying bottle
Hoping to forget about all the agony
To forget that day of loss and then be free
This can't be all that there is
A world of more downs than ups
A life without purpose
Wondering how to find your way
The way to survive
Until there is something to live for
Live for the day to come when there is
One day that day will come
The day that you find what you need
A reason to go on with this life
So live for that day until it is today
This can't be all that there is
A world of more downs than ups
A life without purpose
Wondering how to find your way
The way to survive
Until there is something to live for
Live for the day to come when there is
Just one more fucking thing
Knocking over the scales
Poking a stick through the bars
But it ain't no pretty kitty
A demon lurks behind the blue eyed cage
Do you really want a fight?
Do you have what it takes?
Then bring it on
I haven't been beaten yet
Call me King of the Hill
I'm my own worst enemy
It's me against me
A combatant fighting his shadow
There's no good against evil
It's not white but black to fight the black
Do you really want a fight?
Do you have what it takes?
Then bring it on
I haven't been beaten yet
Call me The Nemesis
I am the warring peace
Living essence of Yin and Yang
Can you sit there judging me?
Don't expect me to be more than me
Or I'll expect you to fuck off
Do you really want a fight?
Do you have what it takes?
Then bring it on
I haven't been beaten yet
Call me Philosphical Rebel
Have you ever seen darkness fighting night?
A constantly agreeing contradiction
Like a tornado fighting a cyclone
Two being one and the same and one at the same time
The hollowness folding over
Engulfing that which I strive to keep free
The listless motivation
Contaminating my somnolent enervation
A constant irritation
Like a splinter in your palm
It's a root cracking through the wall
Shattering the diamond exterior
My serenity theatre
Once the illusion is dispelled
I am left knowing the truth
Removing the reverse Noh mask
Anger hatred and despise under my control
A caged demon pacing in my soul
The prisoner struggling to be free
Crossing blades of two wills
How long can I survive
This death battle in my heart and soul?
Welcome to my distorted reality
