Dwelling in the Out

I can't turn back the hands of time Can't change the past or bring back a life I'll stay inside if you talk with me About the places I've left behind Tonight I'm going back to remember And walk these streets of my yesterdays Tonight I'm going back to the feeling Life goes on and we are what we are [Bridge] Tell me now, do you feel the same Have you found an answer deep inside your soul Tell me now, can you take me back where I belong Back to my yesterdays Well I'm here for the day and closer to the chase But I know when tomorrow comes I'll be right back in the same place And I've come so far, to turn back now Would mean the end of everything I fought for [Bridge] [Chorus] Living for yesterday, hope there is another way Tell me now, do you feel the same Tonight I'm going back for the last time Tell me now, can you take me back where I belong Back to my yesterdays We all were left behind Passed by changing times I still feel it's coming back someday We are the last to fight For what once was and still could be Can you take us back? [Bridge] [Chorus]

Sometimes I feel alone, lost inside a daydream Sometimes I feel like I can't, survive With all these lies surrounding me Sometimes I feel like the days go by And the signs along the way make it hard to stay [Bridge] Into the darkness I said goodbye Behind the mask of death I saw a world beyond our flesh and blood Sometimes I can not sleep And I fear the night will never lift Sometimes I feel like the hours go by And I've lost the strength to fight for life But don't think any less of me [Bridge] [Chorus] Just when I thought it was over I feel the coldness of regret Just when I thought I'd found the answer Beyond the darkest day While sadness overcomes I can't control the anger While candles burning I'm afraid to say it's come to this Will you remember me Can you just let it be While candles burning I'm feeling that the time has come [Bridge] [Chorus]

I've never feared sleep so much Or dreams that come in the night When will I find all that I need How can I live without you [Bridge] Nowhere left to turn and nowhere to hide No one left to believe in or care about You said that you were leaving But I've no time for goodbyes That only means there's nothing to lose anymore I have been lost for so long Lost in the fear I would die alone There's no one left to bring me down How can I live without that [Bridge] [Chorus] Outside I left my pain And headed for the door You used your lies to get inside I won't be the victim no more Well I'm older now and learning to forget But I just can't hide the scars you gave me With every day I think I'm farther from my heart Further from the place I long to be You left me in the dark When I would die for you With every lie You know you said goodbye You sealed that coffin shut [Chorus] [Bridge] [Chorus]

Lay still and don't make a sound And pray to God that you won't be found Don't close your eyes, it could be the end We've lost sight of what we defend [Bridge] If it's all the same, are we gonna learn someday If it's all the same, take me now Rain falls on the battered ground, blood red from the bodies down [Bridge] Bullets fly and bodies fall, but can you find the courage To face another day, just knowing that we never will be forgotten [Chorus] Remember me - And cherish the life that we all fought to defend Remember me - And tell me that we never will be forgotten Remember me - And cherish the life that we all died for Remember me - And tell me that we will never be forgotten Fire rains and cities burn and I've fallen by the dead To say a prayer for those who care but left me here instead [Chorus] Under darkness they will come, believing in their cause The chosen ones, our only sons, left dying on the shores [Chorus]

I've always been one to follow through With all the things I said I would do And when the lies were said and done I never strayed from the vision I've always been one to look inside For something more that I could hide I asked for truth, you questioned why Did you read the bottom line? I've been outside for some time Holding out on that part in a new life I've been learning the hard way And each lesson found is the start of a new day I've been looking for some time Trying hard to believe in my own mind To follow through with what I feel And find my mission in life [Bridge] Will I ever find a higher ground Will I ever change what's inside And bury the past in learning to survive [Chorus] We are adrift With your doubts still you carry on Always dreaming of what could have been Always looking for the other ride Never knowing that the answer was inside [Bridge] [Chorus] We've been adrift for some time Holding out for a part in a new life We're learning the hard way Can you hear a single word that I say [Bridge] [Chorus]

Years ago I left the day behind To sleep a while, under the veil of night In a dream I walked through the garden With cross in hand And with every step, you weren't there Hiding in darkness with weakness inside And there behind the mask, all reason dies Remembered the faces, and words left behind The lives lost in the balance of our hidden empire [Chorus] Take me home, I'm setting for the sunrise Take me home, when night falls forever Image in shadows, moving behind Under a coffin still, our secret lies "Suffer the wrath, with power and rage" he said And carry the burden of our hearts In living undead [Chorus] Under God I lived my life A servant from the start Into the sun, from ashes to dust This time the night falls forever [Chorus] When I needed you most you let me down Come down from the cross, show me your crown You won't have my faith anymore

Seven years and counting into the future All empires gone Existence is obscure Pirates rule the wasteland and there beyond Lords of the underground and hope of the world Come take my hand I'll show you the way Machine control is the object of mankind A vision lost at the hands of time Now silence rules the wasteland and there beyond While the killing machine moves on Come take my hand I'll show you the way [Chorus] From Towers of Fire and mechanical rage Take My Hand We're lost in the machine cage From rivers of black and deserts of ice Take my hand We're lost in the machine cage Dark Mountains in the sky From ashes we will rise Into oblivion, into the unknown Black towers scar the sky We will forever fight We're dreamers from another land Victims of the master plan [Chorus]

Everyday there's something new to bring me down Worlds collide, no answers to be found But don't get me wrong, it's not you I blame I just never learned to live without the pain [Bridge] Somehow I've lasted until the end Without the thought I never could survive alone Somehow I've lasted until the end But I don't feel the same no more [Chorus] I'm letting go that feeling you once cared I'm letting go that feeling we once shared Everyday there's something new to dream about Passing lives, universal doubt Don't get me wrong, it's not you I blame But I won't forget the person you became [Bridge] [Chorus] It fell apart in the end, but you know the reason why You went looking on that other side I keep searching or that man I left behind But I fear he's lost in another time I'll find a way through this water before I drown And I'll be back to show you all You can't keep me down [Chorus]

In the middle of my room I sit and wonder why These four walls are closing in on me No one really understands this broken man Who's fighting each day to have his say And find some ground to stand [Bridge] Looking back it's all misunderstood Can you tell me if I'm truly dead [Chorus] I'm feeling alone tonight, no one there to say "There's power in you to seize the day" I'm feeling alone tonight, no one left to say "If you dwell in the past then there will you stay" Standing in a lonely crowd This broken man Is trying to find some peace of mind Before the column cracks [Bridge] [Chorus] I've been lost for so long, waiting for this feeling to end [Bridge] [Chorus] I'm trying to find a reason to move on Some place away from here Because I've been lost for so long [Bridge]

All the lines are drawn when the curtain falls As I've said my last But I'm not like the rest Couldn't seem to pass that test And those things in me will never change No, you never truly listened to what I had to say But I know you'll hear me in this way It's only me again It's late and I've had some time to think And write a few thoughts before I sleep [Bridge] Someday you may look and see You never found that place you seek And if you're down for the count I'll still be there to lift you out [Chorus] Run from your life But don't carry the lies Along the way You'll always hide the truth inside So now you're on your way Run from your life But you're leaving people Along the way You think you'll find a better day Don't you know you'll never get away Even in the end you won't come clean But one look into your eyes And that's all I'll need [Bridge] [Chorus]
