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)
