You could raise the dead
With those terribly troublesome eyes
Maybe you'll always be bad
Maybe you'll always be the same

Are you alone, locked inside
That prison in your head?
You walk through the crowd
Lost in the sound
Invisible to every passing eye

This waking life is not what it seems to be
No time to talk, no air to breathe
Reminisce the scent of a single flower
What butchers cleave, the wolves devour
But if you consume it you will surely die
When you're buried with your tenderness
You'll drag it to your solitary grave

Are you alone, locked inside
The prison of your mind?
You walk through the crowd
Lost in the sound
Invisible to every passing eye
Invisible to every passing eye

You died within me
The boatmen came to sail me down the river
Bind me up with visions of a blind man
I operate this way
Turn nothing into gold
Death on such an ugly day
You dine like a king on top of the world

You show us all
That forgiveness is the weakest call
And now revenge
Against that grudge inside your tiny head
Remove the crown of absolution
Let the retribution fly
The king has all the king has all
But words can kill and maim and take their toll
And you massacre my dreams at night
And eat away at every thought
Until we take control
The king has all totalitarian and carnivore

Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it's safe to breathe and coexist again
Bow down submit to me and kiss the ground
Until it's safe to live and coexist again

They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you
But the sun always shines for you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you

You'd kill to find me
But the crown above my head is deadly

They're taking away the freedom to be just you
They're taking away the freedom to be just you

I can't be farther away from endless light
One voice in the light
Silence and clarity, obvious destiny
One heart, one mind

All the silhouettes that pass us by
The sound of shrieks and familiar cries
Will vanish into the illusion
No serenity, never compromise
There's no dignity as you fraternize
With your delusions
So set me free, take all you need
And I will wait
Together we're jaded
And now we're renovated

Wings of flames are burning the wreckage of my life
At last I've terrified us, set fire to the stars at night
They can't be this far, the judgement now begins
A being from the inside

Vanishing into thin air
My body hits the floor
I'm smaller than before
Crisis, man overboard
Emergency abort
I watch them dancing
Oh, the fireflies at war gather
Oh, the damage that's been done, paid for
Won't you reveal yourself to me?
As I rise above the deep
Won't you reveal yourself to me?
Oh

Oh, the fireflies above gather
Oh, the damage that's been done, paid for
Now won't you save yourself for me?
Won't you save yourself for me?
Oh

Mindless eyes
Tightening veins beneath my skin
Forming shapes within my dreams
Jaded thought, it rips my throat

I live under my skin
I suppose you pray for me

I'm tainted in slumber
I'm tainted in slumber
The feelings that I have
For you, but keep them deep inside
Deep in the heart
From deep within my skin
There's not that much time for you
This time I'm afraid to wander the world
I'm not sure, I don't think so

I will pretend
To live without my skin
I will pretend
To live without my skin

Take another piece of me
And it just might be enough to drag me under
Beneath the waves
Take another bite from this
Loveless corpse

Take another bite from me
And wait your turn
It just might be enough to drag me under
Take another bite from this
Loveless corpse
And it just might be enough to drag me under

As the dust begins to fall
I see an image of it all
It keeps me awake, keeps me awake

Separated from the earth
Lights flicker then are burned
It keeps me awake, keeps me awake

Lightning struck into a mirror image of the truth
It keeps me awake, oh, it keeps me awake
The stars begin to fall, a meditation to absolve
It keeps me awake, oh, it keeps me awake

I'm half crazy
Searching for the sight of you
Hoping that you'd pull me through
The hand of God you forced me to
I'm half crazy
Longing for the love of you
Begging on my knees to you
Weeping for the honest truth

I've been dreaming
Love is not an endless thing
Anxious to ignore our feelings
Love is not an endless thing
I've been dreaming
Love is not an endless thing
Anxious to ignore our feelings
Love is not an endless thing

Calm down, don't run again
I'll soothe you, I'm mechanical
Brave soldier, kill again
Before we all expire

Think for yourself
And be the renegade
Don't give in to him
And his ugly ways

I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no wonder why

Drain all the sick away
You've proven you are an animal
Watching me, you are a mannequin
Your form is menacing

This is another one of his ways
To control me

I can feel you getting closer
I can sense you start to smile
I see colossal eyes
There's a shadow on the sun
And no wonder why

You wasted so much damn time on it
You wasted half your damn life
Now watch it fall to damn pieces, pieces

It's not about the love, you know
I can't turn on the water
Too many torn apart and thrown aside
In pieces, pieces

You wasted so much damn time on it
You wasted half your damn life
Now watch it fall to damn pieces, pieces

You wasted so much damn time on it
You wasted half your damn
Life
