What we had we threw away
We were close to heaven But we ended up in hell What we had we threw away Just cause the hurt doesn't show There's no way to recover You broke my heart in two I had a dream of growing old I saw us driving to the end of the road We had this world of make believe I thought I saw the fire in your eyes You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You ripped the heart out of my will to survive You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You killed the part of me that kept us alive I'm drained and out of phase I was shooting straight but you stole my aim Could have walked for miles We were supposed to be the end of the line We had this world of make believe I thought I saw the fire in your eyes You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You ripped the heart out of my will to survive You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You killed the part of me that kept us alive You killed the part of me that kept us alive We had this world of make believe I thought I saw the fire in your eyes You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You ripped the heart out of my will to survive You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You killed the part of me that kept us alive You ripped the heart out, you ripped the heart out You killed the part of me that kept us alive 02. The End
I got a new kind of fear
Something you don't wanna view There's this path that I can see It leads straight to misery We can't undo what we have done Just face what's up ahead We fight and we stumble The fuse is lit, you better run now I can't tell you what to do This crossroad is your own But I know what we'll become We'll be outlaws on the run Do you think about the end? The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space What if I say to you Let's leave this earth for a while A perspective from the hollow And the wheel we can't control I can't tell you what to do This crossroad is your own But I know what we'll become We'll be outlaws on the run Do you think about the end? The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space And the emptiness in space And the emptiness in space When we were young Was this the dream we had? We're celebrating nothing We need to find our way back When we were young Was this the dream we had? We're celebrating nothing We need to find our way back When we were young Was this the dream we had? We're celebrating nothing We need to find our way back I can't tell you what to do This crossroad is your own But I know what we'll become We'll be outlaws on the run Do you think about the end? The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space Do you think about the end? That slow last breath of air The words you say with your last breath And the emptiness in space 03. Like Sand
I believe that the whole wide world is against me
I, I, I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me How did I end up here Half a life and still full of fears If I'm honest I think you'll see I'm scared to share what's calling for me You say, make the most of your time How's it work when it's not on your side What can't kill you makes you stronger So I heard but I'm going under I will try, I will try I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands But it's just slipping through like sand (I want the whole world) I try hard to be like you You're my Queen but I break in two I think I can overcome all the mistakes that I've done You say, make the most of your time How's it work when it's not on your side What can't kill you makes you stronger So you say but I'm going under I will try, I will try I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands But it's just slipping through like sand I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands But it's just slipping through like sand I believe that the whole wide world is afraid of me I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands But it's just slipping through like sand I want the whole world, the whole world, the whole world in my hands But it's just slipping through like sand 04. The Truth
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are The time has come to bring you down Take the power back and show you how I hear the sound of a plane passing by Someone have the same thoughts as I But as I get to the end of mine You deny and think everything's fine We are, we are, we are We are the truth that hurts the most cause We are, we are, we are It hurts when your denial is exposed It hurts when your denial is exposed Why can't we see eye to eye? Think of all the things we leave behind I hear the sound of a car driving by You can go on for miles But you will run out, this is not your day Are you just gonna turn around and walk away? We are, we are, we are We are the truth that hurts the most cause We are, we are, we are It hurts when your denial is exposed It hurts when your denial is exposed But as I get to the end of mine You deny and think everything's fine We are, we are, we are We are the truth that hurts the most cause We are, we are, we are It hurts when your denial is exposed We are, we are, we are It hurts when your denial is exposed It hurts when your denial is exposed 05. In My Room
Here in my room
I'm behind the wall I'm out of reach I don't sympathize Adjusting the level of delusion Feel like you're one of the sane Encoding the white noise Lose my way and fall again Creating dreams from a broken past It tears a hole and sucks you dry If you know secrets tell me now Creating dreams, let the worlds collide Escape the void and feel alive Don't have any answers but I'll survive Here in my room I'm behind the wall Away from the flock Closure will come Adjusting the high of expectation Feel like you're one of the brave Dig deeper Find a new path and climb again Creating dreams from a broken past It tears a hole and sucks you dry If you know secrets tell me now Creating dreams, let the worlds collide Escape the void and feel alive Don't have any answers but I'll survive Creating dreams from a broken past It tears a hole and sucks you dry If you know secrets tell me now Creating dreams, let the worlds collide Escape the void and feel alive Don't have any answers but I'll survive 06. Before I Fall
How far to go, I never know
I pushed too hard, so you ran away I know you bleed for me And you know, oh I'm dying for you A journey with open eyes From darkness to light The cold is real, now that I know The scars I feel, but I won't let go I know that I can find The meaning of it all Put my fears behind Before I fall My will to be, something more A sailor of words, and be what I promise I know you bleed for me I know I will die for you A journey with open eyes From darkness to light The cold is real, now that I know The scars I feel, but I won't let go (won't let go) I know that I can find The meaning of it all Put my fears behind Before I fall Put my fears behind Put my fears behind Put my fears behind Before I fall The cold is real, now that I know The scars I feel, but I won't let go (won't let go) I know that I can find The meaning of it all Put my fears behind Before I fall 07. Through My Eyes
You did me wrong and I applauded you
I became the blade and I pierced through Now hiding from the world outside Trying to create magic for the pacified You never felt the answers Are aimed at you my friend Did you find yourself lost In the world we swore to protect If you could see it If you could see it through my eyes Why are we so different? Want you to feel it Want you to know what it was like Then maybe you'll understand You always did prefer to keep me on distance So no wonder it's served for your intent You never felt the answers Are aimed at you my friend Did you find yourself lost In the world we swore to protect If you could see it If you could see it through my eyes Why are we so different? Want you to feel it Want you to know what it was like Then maybe you'll understand If you can see it through my eyes If you can see it through my eyes You never felt the answers Are aimed at you my friend Did you find yourself lost In the world we swore to protect If you could see it If you could see it through my eyes Why are we so different? Want you to feel it Want you to know what it was like Then maybe you'll understand If you could see it If you could see it through my eyes (through my eyes) Why are we so different? Want you to feel it Want you to know what it was like (it was like) Then maybe you'll understand (Then maybe you'll understand) 08. Battles
Pain
You're not my friend and I despise you Friend You are my pain and I adore you What are you waiting for, I'm here Let's consume it all Before they take it all away I hear them from the other side As I sit and let the day go by Trying to see if the world is still alive Let the day go by Insane To be caged, when you're to blame Blame Break free from insanity to praise you What are you waiting for, I'm here Let's consume it all Before they take it all away I hear them from the other side As I sit and let the day go by Trying to see if the world is still alive Let the day go by What are you waiting for, I'm here Let's consume it all (let's consume it all) Before they take it all away I hear them from the other side (other side) As I sit and let the day go by (day go by) Trying to see if the world is still alive Before they take it all away I hear them from the other side (other side) As I sit and let the day go by (day go by) Trying to see if the world is still alive Let the day go by 09. Here Until Forever
I can't wait to hear your voice again
I am far from lonely but without you I'm a mess I close my eyes and drift away And I'm wondering what you're doing now When I look at you I see me We will always be part of history When I look at you I see me Forever I will always be Mind and soul we are the same A hand on your heart, you know I am there You are my lighthouse in the dark I can see you from a thousand miles Forever I will always be When I look at you I see me We will always be part of history When I look at you I see me Forever I will always be I hope you feel that nothing dies I am alive in all you touch Close my eyes and drift away Wondering what you're doing now (Wondering what you're doing right now) When I look at you I see me We will always be part of history When I look at you I see me (I see me) When I look at you I see me We will always be part of history When I look at you I see me Forever I will always be 10. Underneath My Skin
Waiting for miracles to appear
All the heights I did aspire Seems forever gone A torn and shredded grin to fit the blackened day Shoveling the ashes from the times of selfish ways I'm taking more than I can give Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live There's nothing underneath my skin Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live Falling like stars from the sky Burned out before the trial And are forever gone Kneel and pray to find the right way back inside Been to hell and back but still I feel I'm blind I'm taking more than I can give Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live There's nothing underneath my skin Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live I'm taking more than I can give Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live There's nothing underneath my skin Is this the life I wanna live? The life I wanna live Is this the life I wanna live? Is this the life I wanna live? 11. Wallflower
I like to look at you from a distance
I like when you scream in my face Afraid to say the right words, in right order So they make sense to a person with such grace What if my dreams don't become reality? Is my life just a big mistake? Will I be happy for the times I had Or would I reconsider and recalculate? I want to be heard but leave no trace I want to be seen but take no space I want to be I want to be Leave no trace I want to be I want to be Take no space The older I get, the younger I feel The younger I feel, the older I seem The more I feel, my age seems real I like to pretend I'm as young as I feel I want to be heard but leave no trace I want to be seen but take no space I want to be I want to be Leave no trace I want to be I want to be Take no space Leave no trace Take no space I want to be heard but leave no trace I want to be seen but take no space 12. Save Me
So save me
Here's a hammer Build a ladder It's a long way up to heaven If I dig it might take as long But maybe in hell that's where I belong Seven days and seven nights Funny he found the fires And I have walked this path before I'm afraid I'd lose it all Somebody save me Somebody save me I've been trying so hard But I can't see that far So save me Just let it rain I rather stay away From laughs' overcoming And the company of crows Memories, they fade But I'm far too awake Welcome to my dream I'm afraid I'd lose it all Somebody save me Somebody save me I've been trying so hard But I can't see that far So save me So save me So save me (Save me...) Just let it rain I rather stay away From laughs' overcoming And the company of crows Memories, they fade But I'm far too awake Welcome to my charade I'm afraid I'd lose it all Somebody save me Somebody save me I've been trying so hard But I can't see that far So save me Save me Save me I've been trying so hard But I can't see that far So save me Save me... Save me... Save me... Save me... 13. Greatest Greed
I sold you once (once!)
I sold you twice (twice!) I sold you a third time, and still you're backing out I hit you once, I hit you twice You start to scream and still it doesn't count So here we are What's left of us will come to an end So here we are My head's a mess (mess!) My broken bones (bones!) I feel like a victim, but you're not in control You're filled with rage, one last mistake You are no victim, just one without a soul So here we are What's left of us will come to an end So here we are Why? Why? Don't you walk away? Why? Why? Don't you walk away? A single sound, one-two-three times The Greatest Greed is just an empty thrive So here we are What's left of us will come to an end So here we are So here we are What's left of us will come to an end So here we are Why? Why? Don't you walk away? Why? Why? Don't you walk away? 14. Us Against The World
I wish you would've listened
Can you hear me now? You're in control The thin red line A change in life The pride that cries The lesson we should learn from lies Dance across the sky Conqueror of pain The abandoned reign You should be lord amongst the flies I wish you would've listened Can you hear me now? Tell me what to do I'm right beside you It's us against the world This can only end one way Let's seize the day It's us against the world Oh, through the cracks A new voice appears Dividing the clouds The horizon, the hope From the most lonesome nights I wish you would've listened Can you hear me now? Tell me what to do I'm right beside you It's us against the world This can only end one way Let's seize the day It's us against the world |
