These are the ways we die inside Granted I may have to cover my eyes Don't be a fool I heard them say Don't be a fool and throw this away My ability got the better of me Our freedoms only served to limit What we could achieve If we were to see What it would be like Not to desire I wish I hadn't lied to myself Technically Alive Just not inside I'll be shielding your eyes Please will you shield mine I've changed how I perceived the world No longer in the pursuit of their dreams Our futures ours to be made We are not slaves they are enraged We can still save ourselves Technically Alive Just not inside I'll be shielding your eyes Please will you shield mines Not for the first time I feel revived My heart free, my mind wide Now is the time that we decide My heart Is free My mind Is wide Technically Alive Just not inside I'll be shielding your eyes Please will you shield mine Not for the first time I feel revived My heart free, my mind wide Now is the time that we decide

I've been trying I've been disguising the truth Every moment consumes every bit of my youth I have watched as my dreams died Their light reflected in your eyes Lessons are only learnt once you've tried something first They'll be honest We'll be relieved They've broken their promises Nothing to anchor me Send us somewhere safe With sunsets and sandbanks We'll be holding hands And there's nothing to harm me Nothing to harm us Nothing to harm us No idea can succeed Without sacrifices All too easy to complain And not face the consequences I see clearer now more time has passed They'll be honest We'll be relieved They've broken their promises Nothing to anchor me Send us somewhere safe With sunsets and sandbanks We'll be holding hands And there's nothing to harm me Nothing to harm us Nothing to harm us Let's escape and get lost The two of us gone The two of us gone We can be free and safe If only we could imagine such a place In our minds we are explorers Great discoveries await us They'll be honest We'll be relieved They've broken their promises Nothing to anchor me Send us somewhere safe With sunsets and sandbanks We'll be holding hands And there's nothing to harm me Nothing to harm us Nothing to harm us

One foot closer Every step faster Catastrophe avoided Were in the same place Reaching surface Eyes to the wall Watch when we fall Don't look away see it all I sit embraced by this disgrace You move elegant Silence my regrets Grasping clichés Nothing's changed I'm just the same as before I've looked no further We've been building Relentless unforgiving Destroying and making while they were suffering They scream and they cry We've only time to say goodbye It was over before we left Forgive forget don't pretend I sit embraced by this disgrace You move elegant Silence my regrets Grasping clichés Nothing's changed I'm just the same as before I've looked no further Grasping clichés All sound the same I'm just the same as before I've looked no further I bet you won't change a thing All they need is your charity Messed around enough to know Which directions good to go You are just as responsible Don't turn your eyes to the wall Need to see this for yourself Need to save them from this hell Grasping clichés Nothing's changed I'm just the same as before I've looked no further Grasping clichés Nothing's changed I'm just the same as before I've looked no further

Some will say they love you Their world surrounds you You're better off not fighting it Better off not fighting it We pretend we don't know what you're going through We'd help you out if we could Help you out if we could We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start I'll be showing you what we are capable of I'll be showing you what we are capable of We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start I'll be showing you what we are capable of I'll be showing you what we are capable of I don't mind if you bury me I will be loving you honestly Heart races I'm in no doubt Your hold on me is tight enough Love, lust, words stuck in my throat There is something you ought to know Love always leaves a scar Love always leaves a scar We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start I'll be showing you what we are capable of I'll be showing you what we are capable of We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start Showing people what we're capable of Do you know what you are capable of? It's just a part of life Lonely me, lonely you We can't be without Each other, we have to let go Rain down on me Hearthache and misery Alone I live on My heart broken I'll mend I'll need my friends Time seems to have stopped My heart keeps beating on We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start I'll be showing you what we are capable of I'll be showing you what we are capable of We're the warriors and breakers of hearts We'd be better off together let's start I'll be showing you what we are capable of I'll be showing you what we are capable of

We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare I'm afraid to look you in the eyes So have we claimed the last life tonight? We loved we lost we died you and I All around us an emptiness fills this room I'll remember the day something changed within you Soon we'll chant Our love ends We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare And I'm afraid how much you changed tonight We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare I'm afraid to look you in the eyes Don't look at me if it has to be this way Soon we'll change and the bitterness fades away We'll be wondering just what the hell happened here I'll be happy but just now I'm gripped with fear Soon we'll chant Our love ends Soon we'll chant Our love ends We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare And I'm afraid how much you changed tonight We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare I'm afraid to look you in the eyes I'm breathing but not alive We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare And I'm afraid how much you changed tonight We've lost the love that we shared We can't speak we just stare I'm afraid to look you in the eyes I'm breathing But I'm not alive It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time

All I need you to know That you never ever left my soul And you never will I could not comprehend A life living without you But now I have to All I need you to know That you never ever left my soul And you never will I could not comprehend A life living without you But now I have to I could not comprehend How could I admit that I had fallen You weren't there to catch me You left me alone And now that I am sick and I am broken I need you get me out of this hole Is this how you repay me Self righteous fires burn Standing consumed now How an earth are we to learn We perish in the flames We are mortal in the end We are mortal How could I admit that I had fallen You weren't there to catch me You left me alone And now that I am sick and I am broken I need you get me out of this hole I walked down Your road today And I stood outside Your door briefly Alone How could I admit that I had fallen You weren't there to catch me You left me alone And now that I am sick and I am broken I need you get me out of this hole I walked down Your road today And I stood outside Your door briefly I miss you

I had creatd the person I was No fear of losing pace in the direction I walked Seems harder these days to choose Devestated I lose I lose Your eyes succumb blinded at once Still yet to learn be yourself don't be led Your eyes succumb opened just once Reveal yourself reveal yourself I've lost the will to fight on My corners fuelled with fear not the love I want How could it be that I'm lost With freedom nowhere to run I've not long to decide what's right I'm not sure where we're headed We've got to figure this out Your eyes succumb blinded at once Still yet to learn be yourself don't be led Your eyes succumb opened just once Reveal yourself reveal yourself I wonder why I'm more lost now Then I have ever been in my life I wish I could start this over But where would I be then I be then I'm not sure where we're headed We've got to figure this out Your eyes succumb blinded at once Still yet to learn be yourself don't be led Your eyes succumb opened just once Reveal yourself reveal yourself Your eyes succumb Blinded at once Your eyes succumb Still yet to learn

Two white lines a strong cocktail Semi-sober thoughts now I can't tell What happened to the dreams I had What ever will I do when things turn bad I've lost my sense of self Lost my eye for detail Eyes fixed on what you're doing His voice vanished in to the dark Lately I've not been myself It's one of the many things that I do well And if you were to follow my lead Then our dance would soon end in defeat Eyes fixed on what you're doing His voice vanished in to the dark We've given little thought to them How they've been living They spent so much time And left so much behind Look to the climactic ends can't find my way down I need some violence to make me fell alive When I know it's safe love me love me And then I'm drifting out I'm lost and out of sight I don't think sympathy Averts tragedy We've given little thought to them How they've been living They spent so much time And left so much behind We've been sacrificed We'll be well tonight But we won't belong We'll be fighting force We've been sacrificed We'll be well tonight And we won't belong We'll be fighting force We're sacrificed And we'll be well tonight And we won't belong We'll be fighting force unknown

Sing the remains of your anguish Tormented exhausted move forward Feel strength relief its a new page It won't write itself weve much work to do now Cried lied to yourself Wired fired senses fail I can't hold back tears in my eyes I see the red lines scars forever remind Youre not alone dont forget that Youre not alone dont forget that Find what you know Were you afraid to show You hid it well from me friend Im someone on which you can depend Please dont Cry or lie to yourself Wired fired sensed failed I can't hold back tears in my eyes I see the red lines scars forever remind Youre not alone dont forget that Youre not alone dont forget that Youre not alone dont forget that I can't hold back tears in my eyes I see the red lines scars forever remind Youre not alone dont forget that Youre not alone dont forget that

We won't lie down at least I can guarantee We'll not be seen to frown in the face of adversity Their words ring around our heads, got to right these wrongs they said We all do it in our own little way and we've got something, we've got something to say That we all live once and we've got this chance, let's not argue who's to blame Souls bearing under one another, I fight to the top to rediscover Some element of truth some part uncomplicated but I'll not be distracted And you aren't the only one who is guided by the sun And It's with a heavy heart that I climb to the top We all do it in our own little way and we've got something, we've got something to say That we all live once and we've got this chance, let's not argue who's to blame I've got this funny feeling that I missed some discussion Where power was more important than their suffering And you aren't the only one who is guided by the sun And It's with a heavy heart that I climb to the top We all do it in our own little way and we've got something, we've got something to say That we all live once and we've got this chance, let's not argue who's to blame Demonstrate this to me, demonstrate this to me That you are as bold as you seem, demonstrate that you are bold We are souls buried and I will not be distracted
