All the words you said to me Are bleeding me dry All those colours you've shown me Are fading away and I ask myself why
Through the looking glass I'm too blinded to see You shall not fall, neither shall I despair In some way you'll remember me
You're blessed by the fate and it runs through my veins Your mind's gone astray and you don't know my name
Inside the monster I'm alone The nightmare continues and I'm on my own Inside the monster I can see the force I'm haunting my fears, I'm inside a war, inside the steam
The candles are burning out Nothing ventured nothing gained You never know where life will take us But I hope to breathe again
Am I wasting my time Am I losing my pride Sift through the darkness, all I hope to find Are the things that you hide
Escape from those things you put me through I'll surrender but now I've failed you
Inside the monster I'm alone The nightmare continues and I'm on my own Inside the monster I can see the force I'm haunting my fears, I'm inside a war, inside the steam
You're blessed by the fate and it runs through my veins But now I'm free of the fear that you obtain
Inside the monster I'm alone The nightmare continues and I'm on my own Inside the monster I can see the force I'm haunting my fears, I'm inside a war, inside the steam
All those words you hide inside Won't last forever but they'll come true
I'm lost in the cold where rain turns to snow I'm losing my mind there's no highs only lows And you see my tears freeze on my skin Confused by the dreams and illusions inside The memories you fear are the shades of your pride Whatever remains, it won't be the same
You're screaming out my name When the snow melts around me But I can't take back those words I said Much to my regret
All those words you hide inside Won't last forever but they'll come true I'm on the edge of dark and light And something more than what I knew
Time drifted away but your day came true One second to leave's like nothing for you You're nowhere to be found as I've looked around I'm here to bleed, my world's standing still The haze inside my brain, I can't get my fill Whether sorrow or pain, all looks the same
Am I supposed to be the one To set the snow on fire? It will begin to burn within That's for your desire
All those words you hide inside Won't last forever but they'll come true I'm on the edge of dark and light And something more than what I knew
All those words you hide inside Won't last forever but they'll come true I'm on the edge of dark and light Reflections in my mind of something I once knew
We're breaking through and now I'm here You'd better listen to things and show no tears On the line, awake to see Again you've got to capture me to set me free
All the laughter in my brain All the memories drive me insane Time to change my thoughts for you I feel your breath but what can I do?
I stared you right between the eyes And put your life on the line I stared you right between the eyes And lay your body next to mine
Through temptations all around I make the tears come out of you and let them drop down You're the victim to stir my pride I'll try again to find a passage out before I lose my mind
That's all I'll do, that's all you need Unfinished business, I'll make it complete You can't take it, it's so unreal What you deserve and how I feel
I stared you right between the eyes And put your life on the line I stared you right between the eyes And lay your body next to mine
Your desperate tears you cried in vain Don't fool my friends it's treated all the same That's what I do, that's what you need Unfinished business, now made it complete
I stared you right between the eyes And put your life on the line I stared you right between the eyes And lay your body next to mine
In the absence of light all my voice I've been giving It turned me around and got me believing You're watching my world but I don't mind My soul begins to scream, it's a matter of pride
Soon my dreams will disappear Caught somewhere between my fears A poisoned mind conspiracy It calls my name, the invisible enemy
I came across all those things I'd never have seen Long after dark I still try to fall asleep My tongue betrays my fears and mind Who I once was has slowly died
Soon my dreams will disappear Caught somewhere between my fears A poisoned mind conspiracy It calls my name, the invisible enemy
Here I am, never found the words to ask you why I've seen you laughing and see you cry as you walk by You've been to where I'm from but my dreams will take you there It's all in your hands, don't wake me up and meet me there
And you wonder how I ever could have been so blind I believe in you, you've never been on my mind Heavenly home of my dreams Too close to see, you captured my heart Heavenly home of my dreams Colour my tears, where dreams fall apart
So if you're going to save my words all the words I tried to say And I guess all my fears are just a breath away Maybe I'll find a way and another chance to be sure You send a smile to my skin, like you ever did before
Can you really show me how you feel inside? As for the first time I'm looking in your eyes Heavenly home of my dreams Too close to see, you captured my heart Heavenly home of my dreams Colour my tears, where dreams fall apart
But it's bending my mind again and all that it's supposed to be You were always there but you better get your hands off me Heavenly home of my dreams Too close to see, you captured my heart Heavenly home of my dreams Colour my tears, where dreams fall apart
Through the eyes of a man to his soul deep inside Illusions appear as the morning will rise It makes no sense to me Oh father can't you see
My desperate need to be together Now I'm leaving my fears to hold on to never There's no one beside me The answer to the mystery
Away from the dark and the night I'm away from the years I'll never leave the pain inside And hide myself in tears
All I hear now, these words you say All my thoughts drive me hopelessly insane All I see now as I lie awake Sell your soul, never to return to life again
I'll take a look at the sky where the night turns to day My depression descends now it's time to pray It's no more what it seems Like in your wasted dreams
Swallow my fears and illusions of lies The truth always hurts, so you're telling me lies Your words in mind I lie awake Wondering how much I can take
Tearing up the place As I wait for this to pass When my heart begins to race All I hear is the sound of falling glass
All I hear now, these words you say All my thoughts drive me hopelessly insane All I see now as I lie awake Sell your soul, never to return to life again
I'm trying to forgive you I'm trying to forget you I'm trying to believe the words you said I'm trying to regret it's in your head but now... I hate the way you talk to me I hate the things you'd like to see I hate the words that come out of you It's more the fear to love to hate you
Despair to drown Every moment that goes by the future disappears Despair to drown As I'm running out of time my world dissolves in tears
I can't believe what I've seen I can't believe it's not a dream I can't believe it anymore That my belief is like a whore They pull the strings and lift you up To end your life or interrupt They pull the trigger in the name of god They pull the plug... so thanks a lot
Despair to drown Every moment that goes by the future disappears Despair to drown As I'm running out of time my world dissolves in tears
The smile in your face hits the dark light Another day passes you by Try to escape fro within to the outside But something tells me to stay
I'll open my eyes and I'm losing it all And again the pain slips away There's nowhere to hide but it seems like You ask yourself why do you fear the day?
You're in my dreams I'll focus my attention As I'm browning in cries I'm close to the edge, there's so much fear deep inside
So far away, I fear your sorrow We all go blind if there's no tomorrow So far away, I call it hollow The mask of life brings no tomorrow So far away
I'll face the rage and escape from within I'm crawling out the walls where you locked me in Those acts of sin made me your slave Trapped inside my world, where nothing is save
You hear me whisper when I try to speak A waste of time cause you make me sick With no redemption my soul will be burnt You try to teach me what you've never learned
You'll escape from within With all your thoughts you make it fade The darkness is coming in While I'm breaking up but for you it's too late
So far away, I fear your sorrow We all go blind if there's no tomorrow So far away, I call it hollow The mask of life brings no tomorrow So far away, I need to breath The mask of life shows my believe
I can't believe... For a moment in time I got rid of myself and acted like a clown For what crumbles and burns but still I'm around Now I'm losing my faith... I'm ready to speak while all the lying is making me weak As this is not what I seek
But do I deserve to walk away I've tried to make it through Seems there's no place to stay As long as I don't know what went on with you
I should have known, right from the start And turn my back away from the dark Now I'm on my knees or walk the wire Don't hang me high, even higher
Oh, I'm not like you at all... But your words will keep me awake at night Still in my ears and all in the mind so I turned on the light But now I'm on my way... There are things in life I cannot choose I was trying to trace your path but there's nothing to lose
Remember these words I've never said Why I would never let it go But I didn't really feel the cold at all As long as there's no one to hold
I should have known, right from the start And turn my back away from the dark Now I'm on my knees or walk the wire Don't hang me high, even higher
You're trying to take what's in my mind For all the pain that I shared with you I'm losing my faith, from one direction into another No faith, but I know where you're going to
Within your need, you're here alone These empty rooms you call your home
Someone's around you and someone will care It burns my soul and you'll be aware That someone will die for and someone will cry It burns my soul and clears my mind
Look at the passed time, my reason to live Your hate inside will get you nowhere But don't touch my mind, don't try to make me afraid Now I'll surrender but it seems that no one cares
The stench of my sin is surrounding me Through your disguise I brought you to your knees
Someone's around you and someone will care It burns my soul and you'll be aware That someone will die for and someone will cry It burns my soul and clears my mind
