From loss into embrace
I fled the fear and the dark of day Like an angel of falen grace My broken wings can't hold my weight I came so clos that I felt the flames I came so close that i'll never be safe again I'd give anything to find a way to leave the fear and evacuate Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can't hold my weight Through the dark of day Leave that guilt-stained cross behind Free your arms do it one by one It's not your fault you are not to blame Your wing-clipped past should not bring you shame And the years that you still endured Should work as strenght to see past it all Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can't hold my weight Through the dark of day All hope's been burnt to ashes And I'm so tired to hiding the bruises My broken wings can't take me Through the dark of day Deep cuts will not help you heal The pain inflicted's just false relief Precious moments where you can dream Of a day when you too can feel Come reach inside my inner fear Come feel my sorrow and my tears My broken wings can't hold my weight Through the dark of day All hope's been burnt to ashes And I'm so tired to hiding the bruises My broken wings can't take me Through the dark of day 02. Soaked
My chest is open
My heart's on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound No one to reach for even though I stretched too far No one sky to warm me up As darkness clouds the blue I'm leaving I couldn't live with the shame No more denying I've stopped the search of blame Heading for virgin soil Set foot on sacred ground and with no one to reach for No no one Twentyseven years of falling Twentyseven winters slave Twentyseven years of dreaming And this is all strength live gave Twentyseven summers weaker And the autumn's just the same Twentyseven years... And if you'd ask then I'd deny that I didn't have the strength to fight that growing weakness And I buried all signs to cover what I feel underneath The hollow remains of me My chest is open My heart's on the ground My bare feet soaked in my blood As I leave you without a sound And there will be no tomorrow Won't see the light of day No more pain and no sorrow I'm free from the words that you could say Twentyseven years of falling Twentyseven winters slave Twentyseven years of dreaming And this is all strength live gave Twentyseven summers weaker And the autumn's just the same Twentyseven years... 03. Fear
I have forsaken you
And all I ever felt was true To take that step and fall to aims beyond these walls With hope that the star align To get a glimpse of my goal defined I stare the eyes of my biggest fear Swallow pride i'll persevere I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I'm weak I'm fearing you I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I'm wrong that I don't belong I fear the cold All nights of fallen grace All nights where I lost the trace All I need is that single hour Where all doubt's erased If I could I'd crown myself each day If I could I'd let myself know I'm okay If I could I'd throw myself into the flames But I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I'm weak I'm fearing you I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I'm wrong that I don't belong I fear the cold I wish for dreamless sleep For something that will keep all thoughts silent All screams of inner fear makes control impossible Tears me open If I could I'd crown myself each day If I could I'd let myself know I'm okay If I could I'd throw myself into the flames But I fear my heart Fear my soul I fear I'm weak, I fear I'm wrong I fear the cold That the world is yours That I drown your shores I fear I'm wrong and I fear the cold 04. When Kingdoms Fall
It's like when kingdoms fall and you're left without a leader
It's like when dreams your all and all you dream is to see her And everything reminds you of when were safe in slumber And the circles you wander grows greater and bigger So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it what feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited delivrance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years Just like when kingdoms fall and the world feels like the deceiver Their words of comfort still wont reach me, can't touch me Inside this self-created shelter where no one sees Where no one hears I allow myself to break and really reach to touch the ache So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it What feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited delivrance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years Shadows casts regrets on the wall I stand alone when my empire fall As I complete another lap I hope I find the day when it all Leads me to my final resting place Leaves me alone untl I feel safe Opens me up until I confide In a world where I don't collide So falls the wintersnow So vivid yet lifeless out of control Dark days and all that comes with it What feels like a lifetime mourned And how I awaited delivrance for what seemed a lifetime lost And days turn to years 05. In Confidence
Was it just a phase
Was it all a lie Your first mistake Have I been blind When words mean nothing Lack value and weight All we have is nothing What does nothing weigh Lost my will to see it clear Lost my sense of clarity I'm standing in ruins ans watch us fade All just because of a lie I told you in confidence And trusted you'd never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Don't know if you ever were Don't know if you ever will Be someone I could trust There's too much doubt to kill So was it just a phase Was it all a lie My first mistake But last being blind I told you in confidence And trusted you'd never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Cause i would never betray my trust and words no never I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Lost my will to see it clear Lost my sense of clarity I'm standing in ruins ans watch us fade All just because of a lie I told you in confidence And trusted you'd never sacrifice our silence I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises Cause i would never betray my trust and words no never I rise from the ashes and remains of your broken promises 06. Fail
Was your wish that Ihadn't seen you
When they come to take you away Was your wish that I would believe you To make you stop and make you stay Did you think that I'd never leave you That I'd be there from dusk until day Did you think that I'd allways save you And carry you on my arms through the fallen rain And how can you deny me hope And how I wish you'd rise to see you walk the water Can you deny my hopes when... Cause all you really did was just to make it hurt Did you think of all blame that you left me with Did you think of all the guilt I now felt I thouhgt that I was as close as someone ever gets I was so wrong to think that I knew you So now I relive that moment every day Asking forgiveness for the things that I never got to say And how will I ever rid the thoughts or even make them fade Away... How can you deny me hope And how I wish you'd rise to see you walk the water Could you forsake all hope to fail And all you really ever achieved was To make me fall into the water And how could you give up the chance to make us work again And why cause all you really did was just to make us fall into the water Would you not offer me the chance to prove i'll change And how cause all you really did was just to make us fail 07. Numb
Give me a reason why I'd follow you
One single hour where I become you Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where you wish that someone heard You've become numb to the world But you're not alone So have you ever Felt like I feel Wounded and never Got a chance to heal And have you ever Been through what i've been through Still breathing... So please hear my words As I'm begging you to heal my wounds, Heal my wounds I'm bleeding through I never saw it in the eyes of you And what I felt was allways true Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where you wish that someone heard You've become numb to the world And i've become you Have you ever Felt like I feel Wounded and never Got a chance to heal And have you ever Been through what i've been through Still breathing, still breathing Unjust prophecies Uncalled for enemies And all those nights of anguished sleep Where you wish that someone heard You've become numb to the world But you're not alone No you're not alone So have you ever stood where i stand My only wish is you'd understand And have ever gone through What i've gone through Still breathing, still breathing 08. Torn
I'm walking through fields of the fallen alone in silence
I'm praising their courage I envy their loss My steps leaves marks of another forsaken soul My choices might haunt me forever Until I'm gone With so mush lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things were different, only things were different My soul and my inside's been coloured And there is no silence Not distant from courage I'm wearing the loss My eyes sees the dawn of another horizon My battle is rages forever With so mush lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things different If only things were brought to me in a different shade Shown to me so that I could relate Lock all doors that would make me stray And offer me a brand new day Never claimed to be someone I'm not And allways feared to be forgotten So led astray that I lost all worth So torn by wounds in a world of hurt With so mush lost in anger Too much built-up fear and all these thoughts colliding Making my wounds seem fatal Pushing my head under water Making me tired and torn If only things were different if only things were If only things were different if only things were 09. Nothing Is Erased
Been poisoned in the blood-red see
I've fallen out the reach It's coloured by the mix of tears and the open wounds of thousands Devoured by the strength of waves that feels like flames of fire Enslaved by years in nothingness I surrender to the silence And when I'm reaching You're just turning Your hands are gone when try to reach for them Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it's not your fault You say you're not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased No nothing Did you really think that we would cope forever Maybe you never stopped to think at all The scars that we wear were not self-inflicted It was your words that caused our fall Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it's not your fault You say you're not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased No nothing And when I'm reaching You're just turning Your hands are gone when try to reach for them Today you died for me Today you set me free But the scars you caused will stay Nothing is erased, no nothing You claim it's not your fault You say you're not to blame But even though you died today Nothing is erased No nothing What if I would say I'm different What if I would say i've changed Would it really doesn't matter I'm just asking for some faith And if you'd give your heart I'd take it To never ever break it But the scars you caused remains And nothing is erased 10. Still Walk Alone
I know you see me
You always did As you close your eyes You make me fade Do you ever wonder if I sleep at night If I sit in silence Or think you're right I can not share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I'm something Even if all doors are closing Try to shine as much as you can Don't be a burden and they will understand I've tried to be just as much as I could Tried not to scream as loud as maybe I should I can not share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I'm something Even if all doors are closing Won't deny that if I had the strength to I'd be one of you Even if the world was different Even if my heart was made of stone Even though I know I'm different I'd still walk alone I can not share your feelings Your feelings of belonging Never pretend I'm something Even if all doors are closing I can not share your feelings Even if all doors are closing I still walk alone Even if all doors are closing 11. These Scars
I walk towards the setting sun
I'll prove to them that I am one Enslaved by their hearts so torn Cause their demands needs more than so And when I'm weak then I can't run Must prove to them that I'm strong Considering what i've been through Another cut another wound What's the point of touching it So close you almost taste it What's the point of reaching for it When all doors are closing And I wish I could feel it That feeling of belonging Instead I'm sentenced to solitude And all doors are closing Through endless nights of anguished sleep With no one there to hear her screams She's gone beyond where they can't reach The bell of freedom set her free And when I'm weak then I can't run Must prove to them that I am strong Can't hide these scars Can't hide these wounds What's the point of touching it So close you almost take it What's the point of reaching for it When all doors are closing And I wish I could feel it That feeling of belonging Instead I'm sentenced to solitude And all doors are closing I too have fallen helplessly Spent a thousand nights sleepless Had every hope of light shattered before me Preventing me to reach outside Stopping me from leaving the blind Keeping me locked inside And all I can ask is why And when I'm weak then I can't run Must prove to them that I'm strong Considering what i've been through Another cut another wound What's the point of touching it So close you could almost take it What's the point of reaching for it When all you get is more distant form surface And what's the point to be strong enough Gather strength and rise above To be brave and see it through When all you get is more distant form surface 12. Caught In A Lie
Never been so unsure
Never felt so torn In a way I've been blind Should have seen, should haven known The shallow myths of you Can't believe I put my trust in you Can't believe I opened up for you In a way I've been blind Lost my words, lost my way But I was led Did you think it would pass unnoticed With the hope I'd be caught in your lie Was your wish that I'd be the only With the nails sinking in through my palms And the weight of deceit on my arms Gazing out at a sky, that pained me just like fire And I know, salvation reached the liars Won't confront the reasons behind the failure Cause they're trying to make me find the way you are Behind the deceiving eyes pretending You're not it, you're not him Did you think it would pass unnoticed With the hope I'd be caught in your lie Was your wish that I'd be the only Who's worth your sacrifice? |
