I am sick and tired of waiting
I won't to become a part of the problem
This is the new way
This is your new chance to prove yourself
Believe in your own way
Your trust will not be forgotten
Don't try to resist
You're wasting your time
You'll get what your given
So just get back in line
I never thought that this could be worse than it was before
Slipping in and out of consciousness
We are living in a nightmare
Time after time
You take a second to look back
On what you have left out
And I feel ashamed that
I never took the blame
Until your lined out in the courtyard
And tears run down your cheek
You raise your hand like the others
By deflecting the martyr inside
The colours of the sky
Are turning red tonight
The people back at home
Are sleeping through the light
As dawn reveals a new day
The sky is shining bright
When all you see are shadows
Turn towards the light
The river's flowing wild
(Another day, another lesson)
Not caring for the tired
(Love in time)
The weakened and the frail
(Another day, another heart break)
Get lost along the trail

Beneath You
04:16

Honestly dear I thought you'd figure
That the hole inside my heart is getting bigger
I thought I heard your voice in the breeze
Just enough to bring me to my knees
Oh you've done it again
I put a bet on this
I saw the scene in my head
And I just want it to end
Oh you've done it again
And sealed it with a kiss
An empty space in my bed
Oh I just want it to end
Close my eyes
This isn't happening
After years I've laid my heart on the line
Pain inside
It's beating out my chest
And once again this love's infected my mind
Take yourself somewhere else
I don't want to hear it
Take yourself somewhere else
I can barely stand to hear your voice
Staring at static
I lie in pieces
It's out to get you
All because your
Lies can sneak up behind you
Drowning in bitterness
Now is your last chance to change
I've got one wish
And I deserve this
Your parting message
Was not enough for me
Broken promise
Filthy lies
It takes a man
To sacrifice
Lies can sneak up behind you
Drowning in bitterness
When there's only rats beneath you

I: Lost
04:58

I can't see
I'm feeling things inside of me
That I've never felt before
I can't breathe
I've been thrown out to sea
And I can't get back to shore
The waves are getting stronger
We are all castaways
All live astray
I struggle through heartache
Day after day
I can't see
I can't breathe
Desperate
I'm clawing back the sand
Hopeless
Won't you give me your hand
You've given me these concrete boots
I'm helpless
Raise your hand high
If you've got nothing to live for
Raise your hand high
If your staring through an open door
Raise your hand high
If you're sick of feeling useless
Raise your hand high
If you're strong enough to do this
Forever lost
And never found
I'm looking up into the clouds
I cross my heart
And say aloud
I hope I do you proud
My hope and dreams
Hang from this tree
Too dead to swallow the seeds
My love for this
Won't waste away
My hopes and dreams
Too blind to see
Are standing in front of me
My love for you
Won't waste away
Won't waste away
I've got something to say
You've got something to answer for
I've been wasting away
Hesitating to knock on your front door
Take me away
Take me back to the shore
And I'll drift away
There are three words I'm dying for
You're not alone
Dearly departed
I think I found my home
Somewhere between the holes
Somewhere where I belong
I walked the path I chose
I did this on my own
So just remember, just remember
You're not alone
Dearly departed
I think I sold my soul
Just for a happy thought
Something which I now own
I wear a crooked smile
I wear a liars face
So just remember, just remember
You're not alone
I'm full of twists
And I'm full of turns
I'm in a circuit
You'll never learn
I've seen my end
And I've seen you begin
I can't explain
This hell I'm in
This hell I'm in

II: Found

Somewhere I lost myself
Retrace my steps
The wind blew away my tracks
Somewhere I found myself
I closed the door
And I'll never turn back
Somehow I found you
Buried underneath the weight
Somehow I lost you
And It was not for my own sake
You were not mine to find
You think I'm healed
You think I'm healed
You think I'm healed
Just cause the wounds have faded
I looked for open doors
I looked for open arms
I looked for anything to fill my heart
I looked into your mind
I looked into your eyes
I looked at you and you were mine
I've got something to say
You've got something to answer for
I've been wasting away
Hesitating to knock on your front door
Take me away
Take me back to the shore
And I'll drift away
There are three words I'm dying for
When I dream
I dream of you
And when I wake
I hope it's true
You're not alone
