Verse 1
These walls surround my self
No sound, emotion, or fear
My eyes devoid of life
I stare to God alone
Chorus 1
I’ve run away from everything; just
Locked away faraway. I’ve
Turned away humanity to
Stare away, into the endless
Grey
Verse 2
Withdrawn from everything; no coming back again
Can’t touch, nor feel, nor hear; my insides melt away
This shell of my own self; sit and kneel in this shrinking cage
I feel this is the end; Just waiting here to die!
Pre-Chorus
FADING FAST!
NO ONE HERE!!
ALL ALONE!!
Chorus 1
I’ve run away from everything; just
Locked away faraway. I’ve
Turned away humanity to
Stare away, into the endless
Grey
Bridge 1
FADING FAST!
NO ONE HERE!!
ALL ALONE!!
Bridge 2 (x2)
Isolated…
Deprecated…
Desolated…
Separated…
Chorus 2
I’ve run away from everything; just
Locked away faraway. I’ve
Turned away humanity to
Stare away, in apathy. I’ve
Run away from everything where
No one cares, no one cares. I’ve
Turned away humanity to
Stare away, alone in
Apathy

Verse 1
Commitment in vain, it’s
Death to all your promises you’ve
Made. Addicted to pain, the
Wounds you gave me day to day
My reason for being the way I
Am…you only fed me lies. The
Damage that’s done to every-
Thing, my eyes have opened unto you
Pre-Chorus
Of all the things you’ve said to me
The only thing worth saying is
Chorus
Now I know, you’ve
Never really cared for me so
Now I see, the
Truth and ways of your deceit
Verse 2
You’ve led me away, from
Everything I’ve ever believed in
You’ve led me astray, through
Everything you’ve ever done
These fabricating, decimating
Lies...it’s too much to take. The
Damage that’s been done to every-
Thing, my eyes have opened unto you
Pre-Chorus
Of all the things you’ve done to me
What really hurts the most is
Chorus
Now I know, you’ve
Never really cared for me so
Now I see, the
Truth and ways of your deceit. Just
How much longer are you gonna
Stare; you’re wasting all my
Time. Just leave me here alone to my
Demise…it’s time to SAY GOODBYE!!
Bridge
This is where I
Walk right out the
Door; No point in
Turning back. So
Now regret begins
To settle
In, but it’s too late ‘cuz
Chorus
Now I know, you’ve
Never really cared for me so
Now I see, the
Truth and ways of your deceit. Just
How much longer are you gonna
Stare; you’re wasting all my
Time. Just leave me here alone to my
Demise…it’s time to SAY GOODBYE!!

Verse 1
The ignorance, indifference
It’s all of the things I see
No matter how, the world exists
We follow them bound by chains
The wretched kings, they preach a lie
Waiting to see us fall
Upon our face, the pavement’s face…
The tyrants have blacked out the sun!
Verse 2
So in denial, we set a trial
Only to feed them more
So tie them up, upon a stake
Burning the pylons down
Yet still they live, upon a mass
Of leagues born of fanatics
And still the world, resolves to burn
The tyrants have blacked out the sun!
Blacked out the sun!
Bridge 1
Rise up! (Rebel!)
Stand up! (Rebel)
Now it’s our time
Open your eyes!
Closer…it gets closer this
Feeling that I kept bottled inside
Worsens…it just worsens the
Aching that I kept bottled inside
Chorus 1
This world of madness spins again
Every day, same old things again (blindly we follow them)
We try to change the way we live (eyes open to the light ahead)
In flames, our world will burn away
Bridge 2
RISE! (x8)
Chorus 2
This world of madness spins again
Every day, same old things again (blindly we follow them)
We try to change the way we live (eyes open to the light ahead)
In flames, we’ll save this world today; we’ll change the world today!

Verse 1
I have no vicissitudes
Of change of your poor judgment
Your lies hath poisoned all of
You
We all have failed to see
What you had come to be
Now hear the wrath of your deceit
Verse 2
Your lies and your deceits
Rendered atrocities
Take aim of all the fallen
Weak
Of all mistakes you made,
The pain that you gave
There's no remorse that you display
Pre-Chorus
Now it’s time to realize what
Wrong that you have done
So we have made the point to cast ourselves away from
Everything of you, your poisoned way of life
Chorus 1
Ratchet ire
Move through me
This is what I
Feel in pain
Close thy soul
Final words
I wish that you would just
BURN TO ASHES!
Chorus 2
Ratchet ire
Move through me
This is what I
Feel in pain
Rip apart
All our ties
This is what we
Feel for you
Nothing we can
Do for you
Change your ways, or
Stay the same
It won’t change that
You’re to blame!

Verse 1
I locked and turned myself away
I can’t be reminded of that day
No longer would they consider my own
Friendship anymore
Pre-chorus
I can’t forgive myself
Chorus
So I don’t mind if I end life right now
Nobody wants to come near me, so
No one’d cared if I just disappeared
No one forgives me. Leave me in despair
Verse 2
I remember leaving you behind…
I remember seeing you in bind…
I never meant to abandon you so
You could be tarnished and impure
WHY, CAN’T I DENY (IMAGES)
THAT I JUST SAVED MYSELF
Pre-Chorus
I know you won’t forget
Chorus
So I don’t mind if I end life right now
Nobody wants to come near me, so
No one’d care if I just disappeared
No one forgives me. Leave me in despair.
Bridge
I remember that night…
I remember that night…
THE IMAGERY IS REAL
I KNOW WHAT YOU COULD FEEL
MY EYES WERE CAST AWAY
I COULDN’T BEAR TO SEE
YOUR FACE!!!
IN PAIN!!!
YOUR FACE!!!
IN PAIN!!!
THE PAIN YOU FELT WAS REAL
I KNOW WHAT YOU COULD FEEL
I CAN’T FORGIVE MYSELF
I KNOW YOU WANT ME TO DISAPPEAR
Chorus
So I don’t mind if I end life right now
Nobody wants to come near me, so
No one’d care if I just disappeared
No one forgives me anyways so
Everyone wants me to disappear
I cannot stop the hate you feel so
This is how my life would end right here
You won’t forgive me. Leave me in despair

Verse 1
Rain, surrounds us at the
Grave
View, the weeping willows’
Tears
Tremble, in silence as the
Casket lowers, deep into the ground
…I wish you well again
Pre-Chorus
So many nights, I see your face
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back again
Verse 2
I walk the bound’ries of the morgue
(the rain keeps falling down again)
Your headstone’s calling out to me,
I cannot face the truth again
This tree I came across with
All the names of the deceased
Engrave d in black, the paper’s shown
Your name, I carved; a sign that you’re still here
Interlude 1
Pre-Chorus 2
So many nights, I see your face (x2)
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
(While my slowly eyes turn to grey)
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back, and here to stay
Chorus
I walk, alone
This cold and winding path
The only thing that guides me is this
Lantern (a frozen light)
I’ve tried, again
To move on from this pain, but
You are everywhere to me
I can’t escape back to reality
Bridge
WHY?
I can’t forgive myself for letting go of you
CRY!
I can’t forgive myself for losing all my faith in you
TRY!
The sacrifices made to hold on to your memories
GOODBYE!!
Farewell to all reality, you’ll hold me here for all eternity
Breakdown/Solo/Interlude 2
Pre-Chorus 2
So many nights, I see your face (x2)
It burdens me to keep you here
And infect my mind’s sanity
So many nights, I kneel and pray
(While my slowly eyes turn to grey)
The day the rain will go away, and
Bring you back, and here to stay
Chorus
I walk, alone
This cold and winding path
The only thing that guides me is this
Lantern (a frozen light)
I’ve tried, again
To move on from this pain, but
You are everywhere to me
I can’t escape back to reality
Outro
I need you to forgive me
I need you here right by my side
I want your soul to be released
I want your soul to rest in peace

Verse 1
No fear, no hate; it’s what I’ve always wanted
It’s how I dreamed, what I dreamed my life to be
Don’t care at all, for everything else that I
Don’t want, don’t need: the lotus eater machine
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
This why I’m here to stay
Verse 2
I feel alive; dismissing all that I’ve known
There’s no limit, to how much I can live on
Turn off all signs, of my old reality
This is my life: the lotus eater machine
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
This why I’m here to stay
Chorus
This is what I want from you
All the things I couldn’t do
I don’t care for anything
This is my reality
Pre-chorus
Dreaming of my failures
How they were all washed away
No more life in disarray
This why I’m here to stay
Chorus
This is what I want from you
All the things I couldn’t do
I don’t care for anything
This is my reality
I’m held captive of this dream
Losing all reality
Holding fear of going back
This is my reality

Just what would staying here

Just what would I expect to

Just how would you ever hope to

You! So now you see my true feelings
So now it's time for me to leave
So this is how it's meant to be
It's time I set myself a free!

Verse 1
I walk a path that leads me
Deeper into growing darkness
No light was ever seen that
Day
Look over yonder, there’s a
Mirror where I see my face
It feasts away upon my
Soul! (I will deny myself!)
Verse 2
This face I see it glares right
Through my eyes and into my heart
It speaks of everything I
Hate
Trembling arms and legs, it’s
Giving way to all the secrets
It shouts over, over
Again! (I CAN’T ACCEPT THIS TRUTH!!)
Pre-Chorus
NOW!!
YOUR INNER DEMON COMES
ALIVE!!!
PREPARE TO DIE!!
Chorus
I face myself; this is
Part of me I never wished to see
Erase myself; I will
Stand my ground to see this to the
End
Breakdown
Fall!
Right down on to your
Knees!!
I want to hear you
Beg!!
I want to hear you
Scream!!
Chorus 2
I face myself; this is
Part of me I never wished to see
Erase myself; I will
Stand my ground to see this to the
End. I face myself; this is
Part of me I’ve always want to be
Erase myself; I ac-
Cept my weakness, so BRING ME BACK TO
LIFE!

Verse 1
When all is said and done
You think you’re all alone
Standing above all of the
Wreckage of your life
These walls that you have built up
Between yourself and us
We don’t know why you’re running
Further away
Why do we just help ourselves?
Why do we just stop and turn away?
Why do we question ourselves?
Why don’t we just stop and help each other stand?
Chorus 1
Never more, will you ever feel alone
Never more, will we close ourselves to you
Verse 2
So this is how you are
Emotionless and far
The distance between us is
Farther and farther away
Battered and broken inside
You only wanted to hide
The pain you shoulder takes you
Further away
So if we just helped ourselves?
Does the world just need more apathy?
Why don’t we look around?
There is reason we can help each other out
Reaching out!
Chorus 2
Never more, will you ever feel alone
Never more, will we close ourselves to you
Chorus 3
The darkness brewing in your heart
Shed the skin that holds you back
Break the walls that bars you in
Take my hand, we’ll lead the way
On future’s path we’ll walk unchained
Distances we can achieve
Never more, you’ll feel alone
We’ll never close our doors on you
Never more, will you be left
Alone in darkness that you’ve known
We see the sun that rises high
Upon horizons of your life
Never more…
Never more…
