Running in the distance
From everything you see
Afraid to hear the answers
In the darkness of your deeds
Promises delivered
You don't intend to keep
Lost in your reflection
My troubles far too deep

If you think
The past is thrown away
There's no hiding
From those days of pain

I see the way
That you deal your demise
Cutting through me like a diamond blade
Leaving me helpless
I fear the way
That I look into your eyes
Running through me like a diamond blade
Holding on for dear life

There is no resistance
You know my weakness well
And in time you'll offer lies
And wrap me in your spell
The lesson to the story
A modern tragedy
I knew the ending well before
But only you could see

When the future
Shows itself today
Time won't change things
They happen anyway

I see the way
That you deal your demise
Cutting through me like a diamond blade
Leaving me helpless
I fear the way
That I look into your eyes
Running through me like a diamond blade
Revealing your disguise

Once again I'm losing pieces of my soul
I try with all my strength but
I don't want to be alone
Should I seize the chance to break away
Far from all this pain

If you think
The past is thrown away
There's no hiding
From those days of pain

I see the way
That you deal your demise
Cutting through me like a diamond blade
Leaving me helpless
I fear the way
That I look into your eyes
Running through me like a diamond blade
Holding on for dear l

I feel your presence when I walk into the room
I see the vision of a face that I once knew
I feel your whispers when no one hears a word
And I know your voice will never go unheard

You better not run
I'm here tonight
And we are one

Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now

What have you become
What is to be
When our days are done

Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now

You better not run
Why am I
The chosen one

Lonely nights by candlelight
I swear I've seen you there
Winter finds me
Searching out
I'm captured in your stare
Voices I can't seem to find
They speak without a sound
Knowing that you're there
Is all that matters now

For years I'd given up
Thought that it was done
I said for what it's worth
I'd pretty much seen everything
That's gonna come my way
I think of all the time
Wasted down the line
We'd sit back and take
But there comes a day
When you can't hesitate

I'm never looking back
At the shattered past

All the time it hurts
I remember the words you said
I never thought
I'd see the world like this
I'm killing death
You've given me the courage
You gave me confidence
To never be afraid of life
Afraid of killing death

At times I think of you
You changed my point of view
But when you disappeared
I had to learn to get by
Somehow justify the tears

I'll run through this life
Find a place to hide
My fire burning
Somewhere deep inside

All the time it hurts
I remember the words you said
I never thought
I'd see the world like this
I'm killing death
You gave me confidence
To never be afraid of life
Afraid of killing death

Yes I'm still alive
Yearning to be found again
A fire deep inside
Take me to
Whatever waits at the end

All the time it hurts
I remember the words you said
I never thought
I'd see the world like this
I'm killing death
You've given me the courage
You gave me confidence
To never be afraid of life
Afraid of killing death

Things are quickly changing
Everything I knew before
Somehow disappeared
All this time of looking away
Not believing was the easy road to take

Come here, save me
From this nightmare, calling for me

I would never have known you
There's a question how you came to be
Why was I the one you found
How am I the one you see

All this time you've waited
While I simply faded
Now I'm lost and you've come to me

In the places we hide the sadness
Are the things we lost somehow
Seems we're missing all the answers
Though we're searching all around
In the forest of all the nightmares
All the feelings we've lost inside
Sometimes all of the years
Are stories we've yet to write

All this time of hesitating
All my dreams were fast escaping
In my life
I've never known where it would lead
All this time I can't replace it

All the while my soul has faded
Withered in the darkness
Longing to release the bitterness

Loneliness will help the healing
If you're lost and out there fading away
Fight for the strength to follow
Inspiration all at once
Back to a place
We had in our younger days

In the places we hide the sadness
Are the things we lost somehow
Seems we're missing all the answers
Though we're searching all around
In the forest of all the nightmares
All the feelings we've lost inside
Sometimes all of the years
Are stories we've yet to write

In the shadows that hide the madness
There are so many tears to hide
Fears expose the face you see
That stands before your eyes
Maybe all of the years of searching
Maybe all of the visions in vein
Are the difference in what we envisioned
And what remains

Life is like the night
Drifting aimlessly
A course for which we sail
Sorrow's sweet release
Reflecting in the words you say

Too blind to know
We never show
The part of us that knows

See the walls created
All the time we're fascinated
Mirrors distract from the truth
That stands right there
Waiting for you

Never knew dreams lead to a dark despair
Have you felt the eyes of a demon stare
Never felt the same things
That you will inside this night
Remember when the end
Of emotion was here
Forever in the wake
Of an ocean of fear
We're stealing the day
And we're running away tonight

Surrender to the past
Inside this lonely time
I believe there's something
Covered in the lies
On their wings salvation flies
Written in the sands of time
Souls appear at last

Painting shadows
Of the visions
Spinning all around you
If you care to know
The questions of the past have found you

Never knew dreams lead to a dark despair
Have you felt the eyes of a demon stare
Never felt the same things
That you will inside this night
Lost along the way
To the unknown side
Helpless in the way
That you're feeling this time
We're stealing the day
And we're running away tonight

For a while
It seemed like everything we hoped for
Would come true
We were confused
For a time
It felt like every road
Was there for us to choose
We were born to lose

Darker days have since gone by
Apparitions in the light
The minutes will turn to years so fast
And the truth outlives the past

I feel a change coming on
I've seen the worst of it all
The sky is opening
The end is closer
I see the walls coming down
I hear all the sounds
Leave the tears behind
In desperation you try
To hold them inside
There forever
Dreams that never die

After all we've seen
Would you believe we're standing
On the brink of prophecy
The days are passing by
Like thoughts that race
Across the midnight sky
Can you hear the lies

Don't you feel the longing in you heart
Did you play a different part
Controlled by the years you hold inside
Shadows reveal the fears you hide

I feel a change coming on
I've seen the worst of it all
The sky is opening
The end is closer
I see the walls coming down
I hear all the sounds
Nothing left to hide
In desperation you try
To hold them inside
There forever
Dreams that never die

All of us drowning in worlds of sorrow
Nothing will set us free

Can't you see
All of the faces
With empty stares
They're walking along
Never trying to see

Don't you know that
Dreams they never die
They never look behind
Never in disguise
Somewhere in your mind
Never meant to leave
Soon everyone will see
The truth will set you free
Inside all your dreams

All the world can see
Darker days have since gone by
Won't you come into the light
The minutes will turn to years so fast
The truth will always outlive the past

I feel a change coming on
I've seen the worst of it all
The sky is opening
The end is closer
I see the walls coming down
I hear all the sounds
Leave the tears behind
In desperation you try
To hold them inside
There forever
Dreams that never die

You there, searching for
A brand new day

Used to dream, now you're living
Through the pain

Full of laughs, full of lies
And we all just, see our passing lives
On the edge of time

Somewhere in the distance
When I came to my senses
I could see the smoke and rain
You're a saint yet a sinner
You're a hopeful disbeliever
Situation's all the same
Open up the silence
Always hiding from the pain
You're the drug that feeds the violence
Running through my veins
I can see the tomorrow is far away

Winter fades like mist on the horizon
Nothing's really what it seems to be
Summers always say goodbye forever
And the seasons will fall
All the pain will bleed
Lies you will believe

It's a strange situation
The walls of your temptations
Are falling apart again
Feeling your desire
In your arms I'm really dying

Whatever it takes
To see the end
Take me over
Take this world
From under me
The places I can take you
No one else could ever see

I could see the sunrise yesterday

Winter fades like mist on the horizon
Nothing's really what it seems to be
Summers always say goodbye forever
And the seasons will fall

Here I am
Far away
Like an ordinary day
I wanted you
Like no one else
Now I chase
The pain away
Didn't mean to make you cry
If I only had the reasons why
On the edge of time

Winter fades like mist on the horizon
Nothing's really what it seems to be
Summers always say goodbye forever
And the seasons will fall
All the pain will bleed

I was standing in a world out on the edge
Waiting for it all to stop
I really must confess
It was cold and in the night I was alone
Hiding from the things you sought
For reasons still unknown

In the silence of this night
I feel your presence there
Calling from the visions
Of this cold nightmare

I'm never gonna stop
Never gonna hesitate
I got a little taste
Now I know it just won't wait
You got me running wild
And I feel it burning deep inside
I'm ready for the ride
My soul is free to fly

Hear the whispers
Of the words but no one's there
I know I'm not alone
But no one ever understands
Within the remnants of this place
That stood before
The vision of your face appears
A hint of what's in store

All at once I feel a change
Something's on the brink
I feel your sweet salvation
And it's clear to see

I'm never gonna stop
Never gonna hesitate
I got a little taste
Now I know it just won't wait
You got me running wild
Feel it burning deep inside
I'm ready for the ride
My soul is free to fly

I'm never gonna stop
Never gonna hesitate
I got a little taste
Now I know it just won't wait
You got me running wild
I got a feeling burning deep inside
I'm ready for the ride
My soul is free to fly
I'm never gonna stop
You know I'm never gonna hesitate
I got a little taste
Now I know it just won't wait
You know you got me with your fire
I got a feeling burning deep inside
I'm ready for the ride
My soul is free tonight

Gather round
Collect your fears
I know the story well
You'll believe
It's all so clear
The lies we often tell

In the pages
Of this life
That somehow twist
Your head around
Feel the raging will
To fight for things
You want right now

No one can help us
No one decides
Deep in isolation
We were left to die
No one can find us
We can only pray
It's our destination
To live another day

Save your tears don't allow
Weakness to prevail
All the years all this time
Is now a distant haze

And though everything
Dropped out from under you
So long ago times are so uncertain
You're afraid to try alone

No one can help us
No one this time
Deep in isolation
The future is denied
No can find us
We can only pray
It's our destination
To live another day

No one can help us
No one this time
Deep in isolation
The future is denied

Just when you think
It's all been settled and
There's nothing wrong
You're losing sight of where
This all might lead
And where it's gone

We live inside the darkness
Our hopes run free tonight
With every thought that beckons
For another try

So many years we spent
Just going through the motions
With no real sunrise
Coming clear on the horizon

You write the ending all alone
The yearning never died
Although the truth is still untold
No one seems to mind

In the shadows of sweet despair
In the window you see there's nothing there
Just when you thought it could change forever
You let it slip away
In the shadows of sweet despair
In your soul it seems there's nothing left
You got a taste of what you wanted

Just when you think it's all been written
And the ending's done

Although you fight for all it's worth
You see your dreams denied
But every part of you that hurts
Will refuse to die

In the shadows of sweet despair
In the window you see there's nothing there
Just when you thought it could change forever
You let it slip away
In the shadows of sweet despair
In your soul it seems there's nothing left
You got a taste of what it meant

In the shadows of sweet despair
Everything you lost will come to find you there
Just when you thought it could change forever
You let it slip away
In the shadows of sweet despair
In the center of your soul there's nothing left
You got a taste of what you wanted

I'm looking around
For some kind of trouble
I'm looking to find
Some friends of me

Been a long time coming
I'm not turning back
This time I'll take it all
Into my hands

'Cause I'm downshot
But I'm not gonna let it stop me
I'm downshot
Looking down the road ahead
I'm downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
I'm downshot
And I'm never gonna let it end

I'm on the run
One place to another
Gotta get it done
I'm the only one

I've been a long time
Running the wrong side of the track
It's time to make my way
While I still can

'Cause I'm downshot
But I'm not gonna let it stop me
I'm downshot
Looking down the road ahead
I'm downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
I'm downshot
And I'm never gonna let it end
I won't let it end

Been a long time coming
I'm not turning back
Been a long time
Since I've been on the attack

Downshot
But I'm never gonna let it stop me
Downshot
Looking down the road ahead
Downshot
But I'm picking up the pieces
Downshot
And I'm never gonna let it end

Who would've thought
That things could change so fast
Who would've thought you'd be
Sitting here reflecting on the past
We always like to think
It's gonna last forever

Everybody's got some things
They want to try
Everybody's hopes they're gonna leave
Some kind of mark on this life
You gave it your all in the end my friend

You promised you'd never go
Walking through this crazy life alone
Nobody ever knew just what was wrong
Never leading on just hiding
Like a ghost within your song
Never letting life get in the way
You never knew how much you had
Now all that's left
Are pictures of the past

You're gone for now
But a part of you remains
We hear the sound
Every note you ever played
You gave us something we could believe in
It was only yesterday

You never thought
It all could change so fast
You never thought you'd be
Sitting here reflecting on the past
We always like to think
It's gonna last forever

Yes it's over now
But the questions are the same
I don't know how
But we justify the pain
You gave us something we could believe in
It was only yesterday
