Speak to me I can't hear when your word's not spoken Where's your belief in me The one that could never be broken I'll take your burdens and sorrows And I'll rise if I can It's your silence that makes me so hollow We should leave it behind us Cause we're lost and astray All things that were known now are changing I'll take your burdens and sorrows And I'll rise if I can It's your silence that makes me so hollow We should leave it behind us Cause we're lost and astray All things that were known now are changing And we should leave it behind us Cause we're lost and astray All things that were known now are changing Everything changes Make way for the darkness And create space for something new Remove the blinds that held us From seeing what we really should We should leave it behind us Cause we're lost and astray All things that were known now are changing And we should leave it behind us Cause we're lost and astray All things that were known now are changing And we should leave it behind us Cause it can't stay the same All the things that were known now are changing

I wear these marks of shame Not with pride my head’s held low And I aim beyond where I stand today Far beyond the faith where I am placed And if weakness is a virtue And an act of strength a pride Then I am king (and misery’s my empire) You... you said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive, always be understanding If I was wrong you’d believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change Always be who you are my friend I dress in shame and guilt With despair as my robe Must save this abandoned ship From the mist and the raging storms If weakness is a virtue And an act of strength a pride Then I am king and misery’s my empire You... you said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive, always be understanding If I was wrong you’d believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change And you... you said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive, always be understanding If I was wrong you’d believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change ‘Cause you... you said you would be there Always claimed you would see me Never ever forget Always try to forgive and be understanding If I was wrong you’d believe me If days were hard you would ease them Things would stay the same We would never change ‘cause you...

I run to prevent the fall To escape the wounds The unanswered calls Just put it all to sleep Lay it all to rest... I need to rid the doubt To believe again To even breathe in the same way But someone needs to show me how... I always thought that I would know That when things were broken it would show Somehow I thought I always knew The difference between the lie and truth I always thought I’d live a little longer To have a chance to grow a little stronger But maybe I was wrong... I ran but I did still fall I can’t prevent the wounds I’m sore and my suffering’s greater How I wish for sleep so that I could rest... And I run from the obvious Been so devious ‘cause I thought that I was free Thought that I was free... I always thought that I would know That when things were broken it would show Somehow I thought I always knew The difference between the lie and truth I always thought I’d live a little longer To have a chance to grow a little stronger But maybe I was wrong... But maybe I was wrong... Somehow I thought I’d always know If you were hurting it would show We are broken and I’m left alone... Then I was wrong... Maybe I was wrong... I always thought I’d live a little longer To grow a little stronger (I always thought that) I would know That when things were broken it would show Somehow I thought I always knew The difference between the lie and truth I always thought I’d live a little longer To have a chance to grow a little stronger But maybe I was wrong...

Everything is built from change All the things we recreate Fallen, lost, forsaken faith The unspoken made us frozen If we took time to contemplate The years has passed and now it’s late Much too late to compensate The loss that made me frozen Reaching out with dying hope to still be seen Longing to belong We’re frozen, we’re numb We’re misunderstood when we’re hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb If you could dive into my waters Where the light’s been chased away If you could wake inside my hurt Where all needed sleep is slayed Then your eyes would see what I see You can feel what I feel And we meet on the surface To catch the same air to breathe We’re frozen, we’re numb We’re misunderstood when we’re hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb We have left this alone too long to see that we are hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb We’re misunderstood when we’re hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb We feel overlooked when we’re hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb We’re misunderstood when we’re hurting We’re frozen, we’re numb We feel overlooked when we’re hurting

Maybe the pain will bring me closer Maybe the hurt makes it easier If isolation plants the seed to stay Repainting the shade of grey Don’t ask me to stretch any longer These arms are strained beyond what they can take Don’t ask me for strength ‘cause it’s gone And I’ve reached my end restoring the loss to faith My moonlit walks don’t scatter thoughts of shattered dreams The lack of sleep serves as morphine Awake and stretch for any shoreline Just as the current tears me to sea Don’t ask me to stretch any longer These arms are strained beyond what they can take Don’t ask me for strength ‘cause it’s gone And I’ve reached my end restoring the loss to faith Don’t ask me to feel any longer These feelings been worn since I sat down to play Don’t ask me to help ‘cause all aid is lost Restoring the loss to faith Don’t ask me to feel These feelings been worn Don’t ask me for help This heart has been torn Don’t ask me to stretch any longer These arms are strained beyond what they can take Don’t ask me for strength ‘cause it’s gone And I’ve reached my end restoring the loss to faith Don’t ask me to feel any longer These feelings been worn since I sat down to play Don’t ask me to help ‘cause all aid is lost Restoring the loss to faith...

We are liars and vultures Rapists of the weak Plunders of peace, oh We’re on a constant search for someone To walk us through the storm To help us when we’re lost Make us understand we’re not alone We are defenseless Not knowing when we will fall Without words and speechless Walk us through the storm On a bound collision course We’re scared we’ll end up to nothing And we change to fit the mold We are... we’re accidents forced to happen (We are liars and vultures) (Rapists of the weak) Plunders of peace And we are hiding from each other Afraid you’ll see our right face We’re planning the escape To rid our fate We’re scared we’ll end up to nothing And we change to fit the mold We are... we’re accidents forced to happen, oh yeah We are the hollowed center and And we bend to reach to control How far... how far will we reach for something? We don’t even know We’re scared we’ll end up to nothing And we change to fit the mold We are... we are the hollowed center and How far... how far will we reach for something? Something we don’t even know We are... so afraid of the unknown We’re scared we’ll end up to nothing And we change to fit the mold We are afraid we stand last with nothing And we bend to reach control...
So what now my friend Where do you go from here? When will the dark days end and all the clouds clear? Is it goodbye my friend? I’ve see your fall and it’s calling Got we by hidden tears that just keeps falling Falling out of reach You can’t prevent it You can’t ‘cause all wounds won’t heal So times have changed my friend Took a turn to the worst of worse Can’t turn your head on fate ‘cause you can’t unwound a curse Closed eyes won’t kill thoughts Your fears the vivid dark Got wet by hidden tears that just keeps falling Falling out of reach You can’t prevent it You can’t ‘cause all wounds won’t heal Falling out of reach You can’t break free from chains You can’t cause all wounds won’t heal, no They stretch greater and further Until there’s nothing to conquer And all you do is watch then unfold Falling out of reach You can’t prevent it You can’t ‘cause all wounds won’t heal Falling to escape You can’t break the chains You can’t ‘cause all wounds won’t heal

I leave this note by your side I did the same thing every night Through years I’ve tried Inside are words for you to find To let you know About the things I never dared to show or say out loud And I know it’s late Tears from sorrow now fall in hate Too late to change I undress my guilt here by your side And maybe I can bury it tonight Along with memories of things I’ve done to you That will never come undone Can’t stop my world from burning down These flames are all my fault When the ashes fall from heaven They fall as my confession All the words that I leave offer reasons (ashes fall...) Holds the keys to the doors that I’ve locked And I knew they would never be opened ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven (ashes fall...) ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven I cleanse my shame here by your side And maybe it will vanish with the lies Along with memories of things I’ve done to you Things that cannot be undone Can’t help myself from falling off This thirst is all I’ve got (all I’ve got) When the ashes falls from heaven It calls to be forgiven All the words that I leave offer reasons (ashes fall...) Holds the keys to the doors that I’ve locked And I knew they would never be opened ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven (ashes fall...) ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven And I know it’s late Tears from sorrow now falls in hate Too late to change All the words that I leave offer reasons Holds the keys to the doors that I’ve locked And I knew they would never be opened ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven (ashes fall...) ‘Cause the ashes fall from heaven

Have I worked this soul too hard? Strained these arms too far? Fooled myself to think I was superior I am inferior And have I forced myself to think I fight this on my own I’m all alone Been loyal to the blind Had friends that were not mine I failed to see the disease before it created distance Seeds sown when we were young Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness We were seduced by the phantom Closed our eyes despite the symptoms The apparition made us bleed like open wounds It took us from awake to simple fools Been loyal to the blind Had friends that were not mine I failed to see the disease before it created distance Seeds sown when we were young Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness We have come to nothing And we belong to freedom We are hollow But we belong to nothing... Been loyal to the blind Had friends that were not mine I failed to see the disease before it created distance Seeds sown when we were young Gave birth to frozen lungs that breathe to exhale the illness

When did the walls grow this tall And the darkness begin to fall? When did I lose the sense of control? How much can I overcome? And I’m lying here I’m tired I’m worn It comes from within It’s taking me over It’s making me weak Brought my doubts to the surface It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe I belong to the shallow To the ones who praise and retreat I stumble and falter Who’s there to catch me when I stumble? Reduce the pain of my fall? Be my embrace of comfort? And the voice that ease it all? And I’m lying here So tired so torn Threat comes from within It’s taking me over It’s making me weak Brought my doubts to the surface It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe I belong to the shallow To the ones who praise and retreat I stumble and falter And it’s taking me over For as long as I remember I fought this war alone And the blood on my hands, the weight of the cross Are bricks in a wall Built from vengeance It’s taking me over It’s making me weak Brought my doubts to the surface It’s leaving me helpless with no air to breathe I belong to the shallow To the ones who praise and retreat I stumble and falter

I’ve read your words, I understand, it’s said it’s done I walk away in fear of what you said that I’ve become Can’t change your words now they are stains made to stay Won’t be erased I’ve read your words, I understand, it’s said it’s done I walk away in fear of what you said that I’ve become Can’t change your words now they are stains made to stay Free are those who walk away from setting suns And free are those who laughed at chains that held them bound Free are those who conquers in vain but won’t stop to run Battered and down they pick up their pieces to rise as one Free are souls who wander alone in the shade of sun And free are those who’s forgotten by all but still warm inside Free are they with no intention to fold never bend for the cold Just to find someone too I’ve read your words, I understand, it’s said it’s done I walk away in fear of what you said that we’ve become Can’t change our words now Can’t make them undone I’ll walk away I’ll walk away (I’ll walk away, I’ll walk away) Just walk away I’ll walk away I’ll walk away (I’ll walk away, I’ll walk away) Just walk away I’ll walk away

I paint all black and step in among the shadows The feelings of emptiness devours me quickly And I know I never asked, yeah, but I need you to help me Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here I’m drowning in silence And I’m drowning alone I hate to ask but I wouldn’t if I didn’t need it Not stronger on my own I’m weaker just so much weaker And I know I never asked, no, no, but I need you to help me Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here I’m drowning in silence (And I’m drowning alone) And I can’t out-swim the fear Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here My arms getting tired So relieve me from hurt, oh... Relieve me from hurt... (See me... ‘cause here I am) (Hear me... ‘cause here I am) (Remember me... ‘cause here I am) (Notice me ‘cause here I am...) Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here I’m drowning in silence (And I’m drowning alone) And I can’t out-swim the fear Release me from darkness Release me from all that chains me here My arms getting tired Relieve me from hurt
We tried, we fought, we lost We cried, we saw it fall... We lost this game to forgiving needs Carve the wound until it bleeds You’re keeping your distance You’re pushing me away You’ve never let me say the words I want to say Our time here has withered Our circumstances changed ‘Cause you never let me say the words I want... to say... You’re keeping your distance You’re pushing me away You’ve never let me say the words I want to say Our time here has withered Our circumstances changed ‘Cause you never let me say the words I want... Too close to edge and we are down We are shattered Still we strive to rise again against the will that push us under The surface of pride and hope And through the roof that holds the rope (Too close to end and we are down) (We are shattered) (Still we strive to rise again against the doubts that held us under) (The surface where light brings hope) (And through the dark that kept us closed) Resist the will that push us under Resist the will that push us under
