Distance Only Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

I don't know how it feels? Do you think you're the only person on Earth who wakes up every morning wishing they were someone else? Another day passes by Another attempt at love Remains unrequited Why do I even bother? I should have learned from the past I am, I am but a statue Impervious to love This punctured heart of mine Becomes a handful of dust Dust, dust, dust Hope has now wilted away Wilted Along with these dreams That became emptiness As the razor draws closer I am self-destructive A product of this solitude I am riddled with shards One simple wish now dies Was my request so great? One simple wish now dies, one simple wish now dies One simple wish now dies, was my request so great? One simple wish now dies, one simple wish now dies One simple wish now dies, was my request so great? Once again, I drown in this denial Was it so complicated? Once again, I've been spit upon Taken with a grain of salt My life is gone Along with these dreams That became emptiness As the razor draws closer I am self destructive A product of this solitude I am riddled with shards One simple wish now dies Was my request so great? I should have learned from the past I am, I am but a statue Impervious to love This punctured heart of mine Becomes a handful of dust Dust, dust, dust Hope has now wilted away Wil-wil-wilted

I've left my mark I've made my statement I won't go unnoticed Past this day My personal ideals A building block for this world Never again Will I sit in silence As many sit by and watch our world pass by I refuse to take my seat, I refuse to die in silence As many sit by and watch our world pass by I refuse to take my seat, I refuse to die in silence Silence Silence So many die in silence And their voices go unheard And they sit unnoticed And they stand alone As many sit by and watch, our world pass by I refuse to take my seat, I refuse to die in silence As many sit by and watch our world pass by I refuse to take my seat, I refuse to die in silence Their voices dictate The way your life is lived Too afraid to speak Too scared to oppose The fear inside you Breeds your silence So now you live The life of another

I think I have to stop wanting things so much (Feelings non-existent) Loss of a tortured soul (So cold, so cold and fearful) The unnoticed and unclaimed (Left as one, alone) On this endless road (To bear on for a lifetime) Of loneliness She sits alone and slowly fades away into nothingness And as she struggles on, her mind begins to wander Thoughts of endless bliss and the wind is her only friend And as she struggles on, her mind begins to wander Thoughts of endless bliss and the wind is her only friend Never again to be cared for (Never) She holds her head up high (Again) Just a mask to hide the tears behind Only wanting to die Never again to be cared for (Never) She holds her head up high (Again) Just a mask to hide the tears behind Only wanting to die (As they stand by and watch) Another dead existence Dreams torn apart As the spirit dies (Hiding behind the lies) And silent darkness And as she struggles on, her mind begins to wander Thoughts of endless bliss and the wind is her only friend And as she struggles on, her mind begins to wander Thoughts of endless bliss and the wind is her only friend

As the weakened attempt to stand The cold wind of progression caused their downfall Taking what was theirs, now you call it yours Your thievery justified by legislation and might The control of majority never ceases to overpower The wounded and unfortunate left for dead without a second thought Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle The burden placed on your shoulders Causes guilt to flow through a once dead-end soul Which took so much from so many others One choice is left to take from yourself What they worked so hard to achieve Taken by your hand of disdain Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle You You And as you realize that the mirror doesn't lie And the self you imagined is yet another fantasy And as realization takes it's toll, a cold feeling overwhelms you And you've become your own obstacle Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle Looking deep into a mirror, the image frightens you What you've become, your own obstacle You, you You, your own obstacle You, you Your own, your own obstacle

Your so called meagre life is plagued with riches They're born by the strong beliefs of your many victims The task that they entrusted within your powers And yet they remain unchanged, your god is non-existent You speak of your god, does he condemn your life? You're nothing but a hypocrite Actions speak over words, the many sins you've lived The many lies you've told Your defaming existence hidden by a power tie Where's your god, who do you answer to? How do you live with yourself? Where's your conscience, where's your conscience? Do you think this is just? Such an excess of assets while they hope to eat And your golden spoon is their hand-to-mouth After your final days where will you go? Your sins direct you, not your words Your god is nothing (Your god is non-existent) Your god is nothing (Your god is non-existent) Existent (Nothing) Your, your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god, your god (Nothing, nothing) Your god is nothing (Nothing)
