A World Depraved

I wanted it all, but couldn't get it all under control Didn't realize how much I could lose this way I'm cleansing my soul in the light, trying to get innocent Will you lead me straight, or will I lose my faith Faith, without faith, I will fail, without faith Carved out of flesh, this is who you made I have come to find I was never on my own I'm trying too hard to claim originality Still I'm no one new, I'm just like you I always wanted it to be something different I never wanted to be something other than me Now it's come to this and I've not proved wiser than before Neverending struggles wear different faces The higher I climb, the harder I fall And I've never found a way to break down softly But the stars explode and help me reach the other side That takes me from, what I've become

See this rusty warhorse, so worn out and old Once so gallant now so pale, can you help us anymore Once proud in harness, now proud in vain Now restrained we welcome you Can you save us anymore See this rusty warhorse, it's our new warrior A new born king, a shiny warrior Rectify until it's sane Rusty warhorse proud in vain Dead old creed it won't decay Shiny warrior Still this rusty warhorse, fighting for its life You better believe it, you better watch out, or you'll be surprised Old rusty warhorse won't you hear me please If I set you free and let you go Will you leave us alone

Feel under my skin, these shivers run deeper than before See it is so real, now my heart beats faster can you feel it Longing for the sun, to bring it back to me once again To eat it out the dark the pain Longing for the sun, I want to be free from this void, rid of this void This void is pain See it is so wrong, the dark is getting darker, so hard to see Feel empathy, the art is so much harder than it seems

See her looking down at us She's so much higher I cannot reach Her beauty dazzles me with its power I try to pull at something deeper inside But my hands reach out into cold emptiness I'm falling down, world depraved, world so strange I'm falling down into a world so strange She smells of daffodils Beneath the surface a rotten stench It spreads out all over her being Beneath that ivory skin a thousand worms Are feasting on all that is dead The world outside seems so strange, I'm safe here On my own I can face my fear This body's bruised in many ways Cause your eyes burnt holes in its structure I want to break free from this prison I want to change these conditions, tear off the label That you stitched so tightly to my skin I'm a person Why won't you let me be a person That's all that I am

When we're in the final row, what direction will we go I once was blind, but now I see this misery How could this beso wrong when the desire is so strong He's been wanting he's been wanting for too long Good night sweet child, sleep for a while Rest as I sing you a lullaby A little angel came to life he smiled and turned away This is no place for me, no place for innocence And the demons come at night to feast on every beam of light But don't be scared it's just a bad, bad dream or so it seems

It's not easy to avoid who we ought to be We're sighing then we're dying We're only human with our eyes closed We're only children of the sun Maybe we have forgotten or maybe it has always been like this Maybe we have forgotten that this machine kills Are busy sighing, then you're truly dying Do you still pretend to hear the angels cry Are you still suffering or is it okay now I can't believe this one track mind Emancipation is a two-edged sword This is not what I call freedom Imperfect Come a little closer, little closer Hear me plead Have you seen the first dawn of a new tomorrow Do you still pretend to stand branded by the light Now we're still suffering and it ain't okay at all I can't believe we're so small Still not what I would call freedom

Maybe it's the sound of pouring rain that we love Maybe it's the sound of running water I like the way that it feels on my skin, keep pouring What's your war about anyway A little victory over me A little victory over me to tear me down Tear me down, rip me open, break me down This is a little victory Never try to make you happy Never fail to make you cry Don't close your righteous eyes, keep preaching You're not the only one anyway To try and change me into you While I'm the one in power to tear you down Tear you down, rip you open, break you down

Here we are again, though we lost our mother's love Hear me, touch me, feel me, hold me, I am so alone Never will I know when it's over, maybe it's over now Is it too late to turn around We run away, true perfection in the eyes of the world We run away, one step closer every day It still keeps happening The karma in flesh We're so much closer now, we keep telling ourselves It makes us whole or hollow It takes a lot of pain when it's all becoming clear All the time you thought you saved is gone forever Do you ever think it will all start when you want it to But it's too late to turn around

Are we a part of it, of it all It just seems like we're losing hope If there ever was limited pain, you would say you had it all If there ever was limited time, you would never make it But there's still time for both you and me We're still alive you and me Even if I could understand your decisions your demands You would never let me save you I received a kiss from my maker's lips Inside frustrated, the sky was clear I received a kiss from my maker's lips Without the sorrow (I'll be free) Are we a part of it, your real love What comes first and what comes last, do we really care It's the same old song, same sorrow we're losing We ought to be calm and save ourselves

The morning come not a day too soon Wishing all the best to all that's gone See these changes in my life The torn away pain, is replaced by new meaning An odd new feeling of changing it all Only you who reach so deep down inside Only you will know my name It was you who said run to me See this chaos in my life Like washed away sand Still they're turning to face me and dogfaced they rate me They're charged with sin Waiting, calling, riding, stalling Rise to perfection, an ode to you Watch me rise, right before your eyes I am all, that you knew that I could be The doubt it gone won't leave you standing all alone
