The Emptiness Inside

Dreaming empty dreams with a defeated sigh
Throw yourself in work 'till life passes you by
Fear is everywhere with nothing more to see
Until the bitter end we're trapped in this misery
We're so alone with ourselves
So just let go of ourselves
Running out of time, that's all we do
We trade away our souls for paper substitutes
Feeling all washed out in every way it seems
Chemicals are comfort just to dull the screams
We're so alone with ourselves
So just let go of ourselves
We're so alone with ourselves
So Just let go of ourselves
We're so alone with ourselves
So (and I can't take) just let go (the emptiness) of ourselves (inside)

Sunday Silence

Why do I hate Sunday
Hanging in the clouds
Sordid and receded
And wrapped up in this shroud
Suffer all your evil
In temples underground
You never were believers
That silence makes a sound
Just watch the bodies floatin
Out on the open ocean
We couldn't save ourselves
We're taken by the swells
Silence, it's the only thing that's real
Sorrow, it's the only thing that's real
Silence, it's the only thing that's real
Silence, it's the only thing I feel

I'm Still Here
03:51

Started out like a panic attack
My racing heart now I'm fading to black
I count to ten, and I'm still here
My foolish life flashing before my eyes
All my regrets echo into the skies
I can't begin to face the fear
And I wonder if this time it's really goodbye
I'll never take for granted anything in my life
Oh it's true
Every day is exactly the same
An endless loop running around the frame
I close my eyes and I'm still here
Well I pretend like I've never been told
And I don't know if I'll be growing old
But in the end I'm still here
And I wonder if this time it's really goodbye
I'll never take for granted anything in my life
And I wonder if this time it's really goodbye
Ahh I'm still here
Oh it's true

The Gift

Close your eyes
The light dies
Your mind wanders through outer space
Ebb and flow
As you go
Just remember you can fight fate
Don't be afraid
Please don't be afraid
Don't be afraid 'cos I'll be there with you
All the time
I'll be there
For you
When you're all alone
And your world is blown
Turn around and I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there
For you
My oh my
How time flies
Seems like yesterday we were new
Lost the sight
Made it right
Everything's coming true
Don't be afraid
Please don't be afraid
Don't be afraid 'cos I'll be there with you
All the time
I'll be with you
When you're all alone
And your world is blown
Turn around and I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there
A million miles away
And I know you worry
But please don't my friend
This is far from over
And there is no end
This painful journey
It sets us free
We broadcast our consciousness to all humanity
Please don't despair
And do not fear
Through all the darkness
The light's still here
And it's never really gone
So do not grieve
Go tell the others
Make them believe
Open up your eyes

Complication
02:27
|
|||
|
Left adrift out on the sea
Wondering what became of me
I waited for complication
Everything I know is wrong
And I don't know where I belong
I've waited for a miracle (But it never came)
I can't survive in this Hell
I'm so alone with myself
