This story is getting old Turn a blind eye while it unfolds Why do i feel so cold? It was somewhere along the way All my colours turned into gray and I felt it Why am I to stay? Something's wrong it's controlling my mind Makes me numb and it turns me blind I'm losing it I'm losing it The scene has changed the dark takes hold Need to stop from caving in Can't catch my breath cause I feel so cold Silence the voices from within Silence the voices from within A chill running down my spine It's trying to tell me to fold my hand and quit I'm out of time Something's wrong it's controlling my mind Makes me numb and it turns me blind Please show me why I have to stay The scene has changed the dark takes hold Need to stop from caving in Can't catch my breath cause I feel so cold Silence the voices from within A scar from a past I can't erase A hole in my chest I can't replace But I can feel it in my bones I still feel it beneath the skin Feel it beneath my skin I try to run away but it grabs hold of me I feel myself decay it takes me under And I can't breathe No I can't breathe I'm losing it But I don't want to disappear To disappear The scene has changed the dark takes hold Need to stop from caving in Can't catch my breath cause I feel so cold Silence the voices from within A scar from a past I can't erase A hole in my chest I can't replace But I can feel it in my bones I still feel it beneath the skin

Listen to me I've been wrong before But now I can see What's worth fighting for (We're holding the keys to our own demon doors) Open your eyes Without effort no prize Keep on rising the stakes And get out of your head Fill the void that you've made Light the ember and turn the world red (Light the ember and turn the world red) Break these chains and learn to breathe Choose the path of outcomes You cannot foresee Rise and fight until end of days Grasp life with both hands right now Before it dissipates Where we are from Just echoes of the past What we become Is what forever lasts (So tell me which future is yours) So open your eyes Without effort no prize Keep on moving ahead Let the ember ignite Watch the world turn to red As it colors the night Break these chains and learn to breathe Choose the path of outcomes You cannot foresee Rise and fight until end of days Grasp life with both hands right now Before it dissipates Before it dissipates Grab it right now before it dissipates Before it dissipates So listen to me I've been wrong before But now I can see What's worth fighting for We're holding the keys To our own demon doors Rise and fight until end of days Grasp life with both hands right now Break these chains and learn to breathe Choose the path of outcomes You cannot foresee Rise and fight until end of days Grasp life with both hands right now Before it dissipates

If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be Tangled in my head, replaying memories Close my eyes and pray for some kind of clarity I dream in black and white but you’re still all that I see I can feel it in my bones when I see your face It’s the cruelest kind of dream driving me insane If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be There is nothing that takes the pain away Just darkness that covers everything I’m losing my grip on reality And you never loved me anyway I cannot live here in yesterday If rest is for the dead, you know where I’ll be Six feet in the dirt, right where you want me If sleep is for the weak, you know where I’ll be There is nothing that takes the pain away Just darkness that covers everything I’m losing my grip on reality And you never loved me anyway I cannot live here in yesterday I see you in my sleep but you always leave I need you gone for good, take the pain away I see you in my sleep but you always leave I need you gone for good, take the pain away If sleep is for the weak You know where I’ll be Take the pain away There is nothing that takes the pain away Just darkness that covers everything I’m losing my grip on reality And you never loved me anyway I cannot live here in yesterday Cause you love to see my suffering There is nothing that takes the pain away Take the pain away

Why did I have to be this way Hiding in shadows I create Getting crushed beneath their weight ON MY OWN Can't you hear my heart Rip it out and pick it apart Because something hasn't felt quite right From the start All these voices inside Who are they to decide That I'm reaching out in vain Though I'd rather feel nothing at all Than this pain Why did I have to be this way Hiding in shadows I create Getting crushed beneath their weight I'm paralyzed and it's killing me I only wish to be okay I feel them stare but they will never see (I'm all alone) Can you feel the heat I'll surrender before my defeat I guess I've run my course and now I'm Obsolete All these voices inside Who are they to decide That I'm reaching out in vain Though this empty shell Is everything that remains Why did I have to be this way Hiding in shadows I create Getting crushed beneath their weight (On my own) I'm paralyzed and it's killing me I only wish to be okay I feel them stare but they will never see (I'm all alone) I see my shape as I'm fading away Just a stain on the wall just a name to decay I'm tired of playing someone else's part Just to feel again Fail again I see my shape as I'm fading away And I'm tired of playing someone else's part Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head Is there hope of redemption Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head I think I'm starting to see Is it all in my head, Is it all in my head Is this just a perception Help me feel again Help me go Why did I have to be this way Hiding in shadows I create Getting crushed beneath their weight (On my own) I'm paralyzed and it's killing me I only wish to be okay I feel them stare but they will never see I'm all alone I'm all alone I'm all alone

We live and we learn We dream then we die We stop in concern While chances keep on passing us by We're looking to others And living a lie Why even bother All this effort just to get by We're placing the pieces We're playing the game We watch as it ceases Looking back at what we became No one is special We're all just the same With all to lose and nothing to gain There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross So quench your desire, desire Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that You will get any higher, higher There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to Extinguish your fire, your fire And whoever tells you to go follow your dream Is a liar, a liar (A liar) There's no way of taking Before we receive The future we're making Is in the fabric we weave Don't let no one tell you What you should believe There's no limit to what you can achieve There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross So quench your desire, desire Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that You will get any higher, higher There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to Extinguish your fire, your fire And whoever tells you to go follow your dream Is a liar, a liar It's not enough, this can't be all It's not enough, don't let me fall It's not enough, I won't give up until I climb atop this wall It's not enough, this can't be all It's not enough, don't let me fall It's not enough, you can beat me around But you'll never see me crawl You'll never see me crawl There's a line in the sand that you cannot cross so quench your desire, desire Don't be fooled by a dream there's no way that you will get any higher, higher There's a chance you'll get burned so it's better to extinguish your fire, your fire And whoever tells you to go follow your dream is a liar, a liar (A liar, a liar, a liar)
