Shadow Sleep

Fighting through regret and fear Buried under sorrow built from all these years The strike of guilt I want you killed Severed by the sword of anguish that you built These cuts that you gave still bleed Crushed beneath the weight of burden I can't breath The dice are cast I will not last You better motherfucking hope that death comes fast Your hands gripped around my neck With every day I day get closer to death You think it's fine? You think I'm blind? You think I'll sit and watch my life go by? Baptized in the tears they cried Burning bridges faster than you can tell lies So fuck you, I'll make it through And lock you in the prison you had built Now I've found the reason To keep on bleeding You can't control me I walk through fire And come out stronger I'm finally free You poisoned me and fed me lies And went and sewed my mouth and shut my eyes You ruined me I won't believe So fuck you and fuck all your apologies These cuts that I make are deep Carving so I'll force you to remember me The game has changed I'm not your slave It's time you had your turn to feel pain Guitar solo: Parker Now I found the reason to keep on bleeding You can't control me I walk through fire and come out stronger I'm finally free

Blank pages, old and worn A heavy heart growing more and more forlorn Expression, locked away Emotions buried for another day My heart beats Sun meets my eyes Finally A cloudless sky My heart bleeds Through darkest night Finally A cloudless sky Lost in eternal night So many years alone without a glimpse of light Can I be shown the way? Can I be taught to feel anything but pain? Perfection holds me down Obsessing over something that cannot be found Please show me what it's like To feel anything that isn't fear or fright I still push and carry on The man I was before is gone Someone new has filled his place An empty soul with the same face All the greed, the lies, the lust Has fractured all my hope and trust Almost made it to the end I'm fading out, there's not much left My heart beats Sun meets my eyes Finally A cloudless sky My heart bleeds Through darkest night Finally A cloudless sky Release me Let me feel Let me see the light Before I'm out of time... Solo: Parker My heart beats Sun meets my eyes Finally A cloudless sky My heart bleeds Through darkest night Finally A cloudless sky

Where is the passion? Where is the spark the set the fire? And tell me how fill the emptiness I can remember When everything still seemed so new So tell me, where has all the magic fled? I search my heart I search my mind Forgetting all I know Leave everything behind Searching For something missing A glimmer in the darkness A piece of paradise Living in fiction In this imaginary world And I'm the only one who's lost my way Living without you Just the memory of your life And I don't want to waste another day I search my heart I search my mind Forgetting all I know Leave everything behind Solo: Parker Searching For something missing A glimmer in the darkness A piece of paradise Seeking Forever dreaming A glimmer in the darkness A piece of paradise

Far away You wander from ruin I still stayed My final resting place forging through on my own path All I have is what I am Here I am A broken man cast out on broken roads With broken hopes Here I am A drifter set out on these empty seas To follow fading dreams My heart breaks There's nothing left to do I can't wait I leave and follow you Solo: Parker Far away You wander from ruin I still stayed My final resting place Here I am A broken man cast out on broken roads With broken hopes Here I am A drifter set out on these empty seas To follow fading dreams

Open the doors, watch me escape I'm not afraid to lose my way I'm living my life in the dark The lust of anger in my heart Oh, it's poison in my veins Addicted to the pain, can't let it go No! I'm not a fucking waste I'll live another day and find my throne Oh, you wanna fuck with me? You really wanna see what I'm about? Go ahead and make your move I've got nothing to lose I'll take you down Into the grey We throw our lives away Burning to the ground But it's okay We're all lost anyway Hoping to be found What's wrong? Why are you so surprised? Into your back I plunge the knife Did you think I would not survive? Well I'm back and here to watch you die Into the grey We throw our lives away But that's okay We're all lost anyway Solo: Parker Sacrifice and take the pain We'll take their lives away Thrown away But it's okay We're all lost anyway Oh, you wanna fuck with me? You really wanna see what I'm about? Go ahead and make your move I've got nothing to lose I'll take you down Into the grey We throw our lives away Burning to the ground But it's okay We're all lost anyway Hoping to be found

I'm standing on the razor's edge I gave my all and yet there's nothing left I'm searching for a dream long dead Still a chance for me to correct I'm chasing you A shadow falls upon my broken heart It can't be true I will not let you take me down Memories conjured falsely from my mind Somebody save me from the ghost inside Is this a prison or are these just lies? I'm not quite dead but I'm not quite alive We bend and we break And burn in the flames Can't stop the inferno that's burning me down We fight through the pain We lose and we gain We try to resist but we don't make a sound Is this a prison or is this just life? We've lost ourselves I don't know how to continue this life Caught in your hell Set me free A drifter searching for my destiny I once was lost But now I've found my clarity I'm standing on the razor's edge I gave my all and yet there's nothing left I'm searching for a dream long dead Still a chance for me to correct Solo: Parker Set me free A drifter searching for my destiny I once was lost But now I've found my clarity I once was lost But now I've found my clarity

There is no savior There is no god It's only me and you An expedition A hunt for truth We're searching for ourselves Oh, tonight you're going down You're sinking and you're drowning in the waves Oh, you feel the pressure now You're thinking that you never will escape There is no savior There is no god That can kill all this sorrow of mine But I won't falter I'll carry on And I'll live till tomorrow And I Look within Let the fire consume all that we have to give I control my destiny There is no savior There is no god Time doesn't wait for you An expedition A hunt for truth We're searching for ourselves Look me in the eye A candle lit still casts a shadow Not afraid to die Bring me closer to tomorrow Solo: Parker There is no god! There is no savior There is no god That can kill all this sorrow of mine But I won't falter I'll carry on And I'll live till tomorrow And I Look within Let the fire consume all that we have to give I control my destiny

Fuck! Fractures The cracks growing deeper in our souls Faster we need to rise above the rest I watch you slowly fade from sight I take my final breath I'm not afraid to die The secrets kept untold Are fuel for the fire (So cold) Face me! Face me! The power that we hold Could be our death or triumph (Behold) Face me! Erase me! Solo: Parker The secrets kept untold Are fuel for the fire (So cold) Face me! Face me! The power that we hold Could be our death or triumph (Behold) Face me! Erase me!

How can I trust you now? All the hollow lies... I don't forgive and forget I remember and destroy Too long I have fought and bled Why do I fight at all when all awaits for me is death? I bid farewell To everything I thought I loved 'Cause nothing really matters now at all I rid myself Of everything I thought I knew 'Cause everything is dead to me and gone Death stops and stares me down Won't you take me with? Turn back and face me I am not free of sin Too long I have fought and bled Why do I fight at all when all awaits for me is death? The only peace is power And power is respect Is this the way it must be? Or is there a way to correct? Solo: Parker Only memories remain And even those will come to fade I'm alone beside myself I'm alone Tear apart the life I've made And throw my soul into the blaze Watch me go! Watch me go! I bid farewell To everything I thought I loved 'Cause nothing really matters now at all I rid myself Of everything I thought I knew 'Cause everything is dead to me and gone

Haunted by your ghost, by a sick starvation I relish in your sin and in your sweet temptation I may have had your Eden, but I had the right to choose So tell me, why does freedom feel like a fucking noose? Fall for me (Just set me free) Follow me (Never again!) I'm a captive of the night I need to be shown your guiding light Wandering till the end of time I need to be shown your guiding light Haunted by your ghost, by a sick starvation I wander in the night seeking vindication I may not rule your Heaven but I am my own Hell's king A timeless fucking nightmare filled with endless suffering Now, join me in the fire Now, let our hearts run wild Lured in by your sick temptation I can feel your ghost in my mind But I'll never let you corrupt me For I'm not ready to die I'm a captive of the night I need to be shown your guiding light Wandering till the end of time I need to be shown your guiding light
