Because I won't take what I give, I've sworn I'm better within. Not the last time it keeps coming back, building knowledge, gaining strength. A part of the Jekyll, a part of the Hyde! Fear itself is bigger than the seed. It bares resemblance to the mouths that I feed. I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a great divide! How will I turn when it beckons to me? Can I turn myself from home? Well, it's time to decide is that really the key. All that matters I can do this on my own. So now to complete this journey towards the back of my head. Inevitable, the disaster comes as quickly as it came. Inevitable dangers, inevitable crimes. Considered a victim, a wide open file. When the truth just hurts, you will confess not deny. Incinerate, illuminate, either way is just fine. Truth shall set you free, and I won't push it or let it be. Master the puppet or cut off the strings. Self indulgence, what a beautiful thing. I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a bottomless tide! How will I turn when it beckons to me? Can I turn myself from home? Well, it's time to decide is that really the key. All that matters I can do this on my own. I can feel it's coming the way, here it comes now! One, two, three, go! I'm sworn to a great divide, sworn to a great divide! How will I turn when it beckons to me? Can I turn myself from home? Well, it's time to decide is that really the key. All that matters I can do this on my own.

You have not seen the last of me, I'm breeding thorns! I'll follow your footsteps down below. I will trust all my instincts, and bring it home. Does it appeal to you now as a part of the violation? That wherever it takes you, you won't be able to choose. I will carry the message, it will swallow you whole! You ain't never gonna tell again, caught as the founder of the emptiness. It must have made you stocked whenever my pride was taken again and again. Now put your envy in motion, one step at a time. I wanna see the closure when your access is denied. I will bury the damage, I will drench the device. You ain't never gonna tell again, caught as the founder of the emptiness. It must have made you stocked whenever my pride was taken again and again. Now I want you to tell me, tell me again, do you see what I see? Because it's so damn obvious to me! Whenever my pride is taken won't you tell me that it's raw? You ain't never gonna tell again, caught as the founder of the emptiness. It must have made you stocked whenever my pride was taken again and again. You ain't never gonna tell again!

So the idol you preached has turned to nothing, it was making your way through the dust when searching. You never thought it would give you up, your beloved scapegoat. You never thought it would interrupt, your sweet escape. Those were the times when you cranked it all up. You soared for the moment without wings to lift you up. I'm crossing that line with a state of mind, one more night missed out. As if I was blind to the fact. It won't wait, won't you carry me home. Did you do it all for nothing, or did it make you sure of something. No matter the subjection, or the mystery of life was just put on hold. You will alway treasure the things that reject you and possess you. Breeding new life through the eyes of the insane, and it all comes down to you. Those were the times when you cranked it all up. You soared for the moment without wings to lift you up. But tonight... I'm crossing that line with a state of mind, one more night missed out. As if I was blind to the fact. It won't wait, won't you carry me home. Nothing can touch such a mind in distress, won't you find another bright solution. Crossing that river, get away with what's left, eternally stuck in the realm of confusion. But tonight... I'm crossing that line with a state of mind, one more night missed out. As if I was blind to the fact. It won't wait, won't you carry me home.

Hide away from the restless, they're making trails as they've failed once again. Behind that colony of well shaped nightmares is where the vermin depends. High and low, they'll bring the tooth and nail. Fast or slow! Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach before I'll do as you please. Me eyes call for definition, they will capture the vile as they seek. Down low lurks the opposition, I just hope you won't categorize me. The truth is ugly, raw and malignant, the message is as cold as despair. because you're no better than anyone I've ever known, if only love could be real. High and low, they'll bring the tooth and nail. Fast or slow! Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach before I'll do as you please. High and low, they'll bring the tooth and nail. Fast or slow! Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach before I'll do as you please. Because I might be wrong, am I the only one who sees that the damage is done. And it won't be long Before I lose my faith, and make a run become like you. Me eyes call for definition, they will capture the vile as they seek. Down low lurks the opposition, I just hope you won't categorize me. High and low, they'll bring the tooth and nail. Fast or slow! Will you give me just one damn second to bail out of reach before I'll do as you please. High and low, they'll bring the tooth and nail. Fast or slow! Give me just one damn second to bail out of reach before I'll do as you please.

Light, time is on my side. Well, you better believe it's true because you can't make me run. They call it life, covered till it makes you blind. Do you wanna make the trip outside, then you better start running. I won't let it distract me! I can't believe it's true, you better just shut it out. They won't let me pull it through. Shut it out! Can I push my luck on you, don't shut me out again. Because you better shut it out. Define the shelter as the time goes by, it will change until you can't decide. Now you're left without nothing, I won't let you distract me. I can't believe it's true, you better just shut it out. They won't let me pull it through. Shut it out! Can I push my luck on you, don't shut me out again. Because you better shut it! I feel it too, I feel it, I feel it too, no I can't see anything true. I won't let you distract me! I can't believe it's true, you better just shut it out. They won't let me pull it through. Shut it out! Can I push my luck on you, don't shut me out! I can't believe it's true, they won't let me pull it through. Don't shut me out, don't shut me out again because you better shut it!

The decision is mine, will I remain the same? The cost of getting forced into something that used to be a game. The fragments of joy, the fragments of faith I can still recall when I feel that I'm present. I just know, if there's anything to regret, I would've been told. Counting hours, counting days. Will you listen, will you play? Is there anyone who can get it done? Taking me back to the place that I once belonged? What if tomorrow was gently taken away from me, away from me? Awaking the memories, was I meant to get old. Repressing the agonies, start breaking the mold. And the faith comes back to life, still waiting for a constant thing to react. But I will save myself some of the time. Keep aiming for a constant thing to react. As the sleeper awakes! Mesmerized by the memories that walk by my side, shelter comes easy. As soon as sadness sets in, by an impulse the search will begin. Searching, collecting all the things I possess. Detecting the insight I've earned in distress. Learning, finally I know how to breathe. Turning, turning away from the greed so unpleasant. It strikes whenever I call, so relentless as I fall. A grand awakening will kill it all. Nevertheless I'll be my own precious God! I can't resist the things I've missed, and I'll make sure that it will last the time I will insist. What if tomorrow was gently taken away from me, away from me? Awaking the memories, was I meant to get old. Repressing the agonies, start breaking the mold. Start breaking the mold! And the faith comes back to life, still waiting for a constant thing to react. But I will save myself some of the time. Keep aiming for a constant thing to react. As the sleeper awakes!

Pay not attention for what it's worth because whatever I'll say turns into dirt. Here comes the sane, here comes the remains. Ball and chain, here comes the remains. Here comes the sane, here comes the remains. Ball and chain, it's all the same. Since when did my life have a meaning? Since when did I have a choice? To make my way through this ravaged landscape as an disposable toy. The sun will embark with a trembling notion, claiming I once had it all. Time, giving it time. We are still miles apart, insatiable. It's just fine, aware of what's mine. Can't make it more obvious, the snare broken by lust. Since when did my life have a meaning? Since when did I have a choice? To make my way through this ravaged landscape as an disposable toy. You've had your countless hours, I've had my moments of grace. But every time it devours, it'll catch that ugly face. The sun will embark with a trembling notion, claiming I once had it all. I reach for defiance, I reach for despair There is nothing that can keep me from making the ultimate sacrifice. All I want, all I would ever dare to accomplish is in the hands of the deceiver. Time, giving it time. We are still miles apart, insatiable. It's just fine, aware of what's mine. Can't make it more obvious, the snare broken by lust. Giving it time. We are still miles apart, insatiable. It's just fine!

Leaning against what's next to me! Have no fear, won't see! will it eat me up, or bring me down? I'll gradually make up my mind, my mind. Revolution within myself, I'm puzzled still overwhelmed by the stories that you would tell. They always send me something! Revolution within myself, within myself. Let me give my best, I won't depend! This time I will make another plan to find... What's left, and nothing less, still I won't tread. I'll find my own way to make it all worthwhile. Call, call on me darkness! Wait, wait on me now! Won't you say, say that I'm sorry? Because I won't wait... I've found another form, it's breeding life. It must have been there the whole time when I was dead. Because I was pledged to emptiness, and now I've let myself to see all the thins I just didn't expect. Still I remember, still I repent! I'd walk through the never despite my descent. Reborn! Acknowledging the part of me that once was lost. I have repressed too many years, my utopia was within my grasp. Doomed in absentia, left to be sentenced. Still rising to cherish all the things I have left. Call, call on me darkness! Wait, wait on me now! Won't you say, say that I'm sorry? Because I won't wait...

Here lies the quest right upon you, it's time to make a stand. Now whether you like it or not, you better deal with it once again. This time it's essential, this time it's for real. In life there's just questions! Successively wasting your time, a gradual restraint of the mind. I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at. It doesn't give you the right to use me. I know I'm better than that! My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions. So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind. 20 more miles in the rain, 20 more getting drained. I can't redeem myself but I still can figure it out. 20 miles in the rain, 20 more getting sane. I shouldn't reveal myself but I still could figure it out. Don't let me go through this with nothing, nothing to salvage a possible fall. Though I still have my conscience to guide me it concerns me enough to believe. I let my feelings show, don't know where I'm at. It doesn't give you the right to use me I know I'm better than that! My emptiness fills the holes of your predictable questions. So give me no lectures, don't you sell me your kind. 20 more miles in the rain, 20 more getting drained. I can't redeem myself but I still can figure it out. 20 miles in the rain, 20 more getting sane. I shouldn't reveal myself but I still could figure it out.
