Sounds of a Playground Fading
You can find all you need The message is in the silence Whisper words to calm your mind Reach inside Numb the pain Come around with answers We are ghosts of the concrete world Genetic codes of a dying breed Will I be left behind? Sounds of a playground fading Staring into bright lights I am what I've done It is useless to hide An empty chamber Guess I was part of a plan We are ghosts of the concrete world Genetic codes of a dying breed Will I be left behind? Sounds of a playground fading We're running out of time Can't seem to recognize What put us here in the first place Counting down the days beginning of the end We are ghosts of the concrete world Genetic codes of a dying breed Will I be left behind?...

Until the world seizes to move! That burning feeling, let me go This is real! Always one more thing! I clench my hands and bang my head! Take whatever comes to you, All the while I don't need another friend I burn when I do the things I do for you. Forever, the night, it's all for me now. I'm sure that one day I can get you... all that you lost. I never told, blessed is the sick in me, I'm dying alone. We stand to fight for nothing Without a thought, without a reason... It will never be okay A growing pain, It is hard to say what brought the darkest burden. For some of us there is no answer. Chains are breaking, won't let this build up inside me. There's a storm coming. But I'll serve no more Till my heavy last breath!

And I tried to think, tried to paint the picture. I lived it all, wouldn't have to feel this way. Looking for something to believe in, I think I've done my time. One by one the pieces fall, Tell me what it is to believe. You can tell days by their faces There are always signs... Answers to the puzzle, Grab a piece of the light. Keep pretending, I can handle everything, You'll never understand me. And I don't care what you think, Or maybe I do?

At least you could have tried It is way past time and we're scattering ashes You take everything in sight, please hear me now You, you are leaving me, with scars Fear is the weakness in all of us It's sad to see you go It's not meant to be easy but you drag us down Burning of the evidence grows The same road for far too long It's not meant to be We are losing identity Faith has been denied Let's not pretend This is the first time we just don't belong (here) What world would you perceive? All turnn cold, no one cares for anyone Waiting for the final blow Do you have strength at all? One more day, then we fade away Fear is the weakness in all of us It's sad to see you go It's not meant to be easy but you drag us down Burning of the evidence groans The same road for far too long It's not meant to be We are losing identity Faith has been denied Let's not pretend This is the first time we just don't belong here

There's someone in the attic Building a strange machine Never really seen him But I think he works all day Blinded by the world outside, I stay inside Hardly know my name But it's getting better by time I saw something in the mirror Someone's watching me If I hide in the attic They will never get to me Found some rope on the floor I have to build a trap So I start on my machine I am never to be seen

September's here again Every insecurity reminds you Who's at the helm? Darker times With fear in the eyes Who's the man in charge? Invented isolation Alone and safe inside Struggle with words, That make sense in time Yet waiting for someone to enter Say "I have a better plan" Never have to worry For all that we know The truth be told As we lay down low Walking the thin line Let the happiness in For now it's fine We're living the lie When light breaks Another way to matter All questions somehow answered When life comes crushing At the early break of day We've only come so far

How much can we take before we care to settle? Thought we were set for a perfect scene Everyone is waiting for a failure Something that can please and justify A void within our lives Everyone is waiting for something they cannot have Why don't you drop your guard I'm on my knees for you You got the mindset of a killer And it will not take you far If I had the answer would that make you stay? This is the time and place it is your moment of fate If this would be your last breath Would that change a thing? Dive head first into the fire If you just let me, I will find a way To ease your mind and for you to stay And I will untie all the ropes It's hard for me but believe me, I'm trying What are you longing for? If I had the answer Would that make you stay This is the time and place You are waiting for something you can't have

Twisting tongue, Fallen off the edge again. Need some space. Need disgrace. I'm confused I'm in a maze I need for you to pick me up when I fall down. There is so much more, we can go far But I can't control my selfish ways. Enter Tragedy Slash my soul! Why is it part of the plan? Do you question me? I question you! Who's the man in front of me? I'm blindfolded, I can't see Need a reason, I'm left empty There's got to be something out there This inner apathy brings me to life I know it's strange and it's draining me I'm tired, I'm fed up, I'm a slave

I say goodbye to you all at once - (I) don't dare to face you all alone. I went from wreckage to world class With a box of t-shirts and some records to sell, But times have changed - I have to defend my actions. The foundation crumbles and I have to leave. Thanks for everything - I couldn't ask for more... I say I love you all... as I vanish through the Jester's Door

I dreamed that you've died I'm forever alone I'm weakened and I'm frightened This brings about the change Things you said to me Believe and the things you might find Will turn into a march I stand alone and breathe again I won't stop until this is through And I can't wait to see the sun rise again It's moments like this I am what you'll never be To better what I am You won't hear lies from me Feel a sudden haze Time to get moving Getting somewhere with no directions I swear to you it will never be the same It's not straight but the road lies open Leaving all tears behind Erase darkness from my mind Last remaining night From here to everywhere

I know what it takes to break you You know I never sleep Just because you made them think Doesn't mean the world will fall into place Took some time but now you know Tomorrow is too late Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free and everything you ask for I found the way and I'll return here soon I have to see those who do not know Rest in Peace, I'm coming for you And I will be with you tonight If today was your last day Would that change a thing? You probably believe what you told them Live each moment like your last
