A Darker Shade of Truth

So tell me how many people have tried to get the better of you? Told you you'll never amount to one single thing Drowned you with a fist full of words that you could never understand Told you the mask you wear just isn't welcome So sick of being told we were just no fucking good So sick of proving that we're just no fucking good So sick of being told we we're just no fucking good Proving the point that you never understood And I was told maybe, maybe I'll start a fire Watch it burn down all of the hatred Standing among us, maybe, maybe I'll start a fire Watch it burning down all of the hatred, leave no wall standing You choose to follow that line The path you're choosing's fucking blowing my mind Saying it's yours like it was never stolen Cheats and lies, blaming faith, contorted Not a day goes by where I haven't thought of jumping from the sea to sky Not a day goes by where I haven't thought of jumping from the sea to sky But we are all sick of flying alone and blind Alone and blind And I was told maybe, maybe I'll start a fire Watch it burn down all of the hatred Standing among us, maybe, maybe I'll start a fire Watch it burning down all of the hatred, leave no wall standing This place is burning in my lungs The cold takes over and makes me numb This place is burning in my lungs The cold takes over and makes me numb

As I listen to my brother speak of the hell inside his head - I wonder if it's in me too And too often I'm thinking the same thing, my indecision is my own - But he proved me wrong These words run deeper The imperfections and differences of our skin, only mean one thing - The hell in me is the same hell in him The dead are alive and I can't help but sit back and wonder if something is wasted, something is wasted Because you and I are fighting the same fight We are divided, we woke from a dream where we once were united We are divided and we're kept awake hoping you can unite us I'll walk through hell and back Cold blood streaming through my eyes I'm sick of walking in circles I'm killing myself just to prove to you I am alive The dead are alive and I can't help but sit back and wonder if something is wasted, something is wasted Because you and I are fighting the same fight and it's time you know, I won't leave you here to fight alone

I've got a lot to say, but who knows how much time I've got left to say it Cause this right here, These open doors and ticking clocks, could end at any minute Blinded by what I'm told to believe, I'm longing for that one thing I can't see Standing here, watching the whole world slip away. Following our heads and our pockets and leaving our heart to waste I've been beaten and beaten. And after that I will never say never again Start Staring through the horizon, through the tyrant of age, seeing everything in it's truest of value. I hope you can all say The world is bigger than me This worlds not built on fact or reason. The truth is what you believe in I've been beaten and beaten. And after that I will never say never again I've seen the world, I'm 25 and I've got nothing to show But the memories I've made for me And I'll never let go

I've been chasing snow For as long as I can remember For my whole life And it makes me shiver But as the cold wind goes It reminds me I like the smell of the summer better Following a sober believe That where I am done Will always be right for me Following a sober believe That where I am done Will always be right If I can come home and I can be told When does it leave me, in this world, alone If I can come home and I can be told When does it leave me, in this world, alone This is snow, I'm trying to sing Sing this song to remind me that I'm someone But they won't quite make it When I let it all sink in When I let it all sink in I'll realise where I've ran from If I can come home and I can be told When does it leave me, in this world, alone If I can come home and I can be told When does it leave me, in this world, alone Alone, alone, alone If I can come home and I can be told When does it leave me, in this world, alone And I know I run from the things I've done Sorry I left you in this world, alone But I can't come home, cause when I'm done Will you believe me When I walk alone

If I - could I? If I - could I? If I - could I? If I - could I? If I - could I? If I - could I? There's an ocean on the hardway I've never loved between And I promised you, I promised you That i would never leave (Fade) Could you love me like you did before and i loved you even come And join me in a place where we will never be alone There's an ocean on the hardway I've never loved between And I promised you, I promised you That i would never leave (Fade) Could you love me like you did before and i loved you even come And join me in a place where we will never be alone Could you?

I'm losing a generation And it's taken Ninety plus years but deaths finally made a new friend Welcomed with open arms like he'd always intended And I saw the black hood And it whispered my name If I hold your hand a little tighter Will you stay here one more day If sing your name a little louder Will you still remember me? Memories of a hospital bed, as my family stand around, they're quoting the dead The cold touch of my hand on your chest Watch your sleeping smile Knowing you gave nothing less than it all for your family to live and survive in a world That death has finally said it's time That you departed for Where fathers meet mothers And brothers meet brothers If I hold your hand a little tighter Will you stay here one more day If sing your name a little louder Will you still remember me? And I'm loosing a generation, but I'll be okay, okay

Where we last cast off felt like a place of change - To where the face was a face that we believed would mend - The burning crosses and dead souls that died for amendment - Running riot in a town that bigots fail to mention - Well if the regulations meant you can get away with this - Well then the people can't help but feel used and cheated - Now you stand on your pedestal begging all to hear - While your followers reduce to reproducing fear - Left in the heart of man - From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass - Left in the heart of man - From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass - You say the heavens have sent you to fix this mess - Now you're counting the dollars and never making sense - The world won't stay blind forever - The broken backs and calloused hands will strangle the throat that left the poor to beg - But for the last time we stand tall with heads high when we're left broke - But now you stand on your pedestal begging all to hear - Watching your followers reduce to reproduce fear - Left in the heart of man - From the vultures and leeches and snakes in the grass - I've got no fucking respect for you - Your story can't convince me to join you - With all my demons and insecurities - Peace in my head will fucking kill me - So here is the church - Here is the steeple - Open it up and fucking rescue the people

Bless me, for what's under my skin Fear me, for what it's given to me I fear I'll come home a broken man The madness means nothing if you know the purpose What's shed from the smoke and dust? Discomfort chokes at my every thought And I'll bleed out all i can But I'm leaving, I'm leaving a broken man Bless me, for what's under my skin Fear me, for what it's given to me I've been cheated, I've been mislead An identity I can't live with The war inside of my head keeps waging on I'll never know regret Regret from what i never said Can you feel it? The false lies you chose to spread Run around and around in my head Like clockwork it follows me round to my death Never knowing a fucking thing I'll keep on searching but never discovering Where I stand or choose to fit in This world and my world will be the death of me And as I listen to the seconds gone by, I'm broken inside In half the man I was last time Bless me, for what's under my skin Fear me, for what it's given to me I've been cheated, I've been mislead An identity I can't live with The war inside of my head keeps waging on Ohh god please help me I'm sick of loosing sleep So sick I cannot eat I'm sick of breathing So sick of counting the bodies of my dead friends in my eyelids Oh god, oh god please help me (fading) Bless me, for what's under my skin Fear me, for what it's given to me I've been cheated, I've been mislead An identity I can't live with The war inside of my head keeps waging on

Hey, are you still awake? I just woke up in Vancouver And I haven't slept in days And hey, are you still awake? It's 3 am and I can't seem to strike The smile from my face But no what I've been missing home I don't remember where that was One thing that I promise you Is that I'll be home soon Woah These traveler nights don't feel so alone When I'm waking up to The sound of the phone We're minutes away And we're miles apart This is the sound of The separated hearts Hey there, are you still awake? I'm still miles from Ohio And it seems like years away Years have slowly ticked on by Another overtired drive But I'm still sitting here thinking Of being by your side These traveler nights don't feel so alone When I'm waking up to The sound of the phone We're minutes away And we're miles apart This is the sound of The separated hearts As all this time slips away With all I've done on the road while you wait I'm stuck feeling like I've got no place to go I know that time zones will change With all I've done on the road while you wait I'm stuck feeling like I've got no place to go These traveler nights don't feel so alone When I'm waking up to The sound of the phone We're minutes away And we're miles apart This is the sound of The separated hearts
