Who died, in the systematic process that we call life? Each indiscriminate event leading itself to the total destruction The total annihilation of the beauty and spark of mankind's history Each failure is so symbolic of what's past and what yet left to be Un-dead or am I really dying? Who's to say that this is eternity? Eternity, devoid of serenity Brings us closer to a label of hell Here we go, or are we all dead? What's the stop? Where do I end? What's the stop? Where do I end? What's the stop? Where do I end? Save me, from my sins Save us, from the demons within Save me, from my sins Save us, from the demons within Another gone in this war now to stay afloat Turmoil known as daily life breaking human spirit Lack of love abundance of disgust Eternity, devoid of serenity Brings us closer to a label of hell Here we go, or are we all dead? What's the stop? Where's the end? Who's dead? Am I dead? What is death? Who's to say that this is life? Who's dead? Am I dead? What is death? Who's to say that this is life? Oh god the pain of the response No reaction or are we indifferent? Who will save us? Or are we already saved? Well who's to say we need to be saved anyway? Un-dead or am I really dying? Who's to say that this is eternity? Eternity, devoid of serenity Brings us closer to a label of hell Here we go, or are we all dead? What's the stop? Where's the end? What's the stop? Where's the end? What's the stop? Where do I end?

My soul, it screams for you Can you not hear it? My arms reach out for you Why can't you take them? My heart burns only for you Can you extinguish it? I love only to love you Why can't you love me too? I long only to be held and care for Why can't it be? Am I to die alone and bitter? What the hell is wrong with me? My face is blackened and my eyes are sewn shut With fear and sorrow I no longer wish to love anything Just cut the heart right out of me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me My soul, it screams for you Can you not hear it? My arms reach out for you Why can't you take them? My heart burns only for you Can you extinguish it? I love only to love you Why can't you love me too? I did it all, cried black tears for you Why can't you see? Like a vampire biting my heart Suck the love right out of me Don't even care as my blood stains the floor Cannot be cleaned You cut me out and tore me through Six feet under's the place for me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me I feel it all as it sickens me It feels like I'm dying inside Because of the love I gave that can't be returned My longing for stability is a personality flaw I trust you with respect, and you tear me down I trust you with respect, and you tear me down I trust you with respect and you tear me, down I trust you with respect and you tear me, down Love is Illness! My soul, it screams for you Can you not hear it? My arms reach out for you Why can't you take them? My heart burns only for you Can you extinguish it? I love only to love you Why can't you love me too? I long only to be held and care for Why can't it be? Am I to die alone and bitter? What the hell is wrong with me? My face is blackened and my eyes are sewn shut With fear and sorrow I no longer wish to love anything Just cut the heart right out of me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me Sometimes I choke on all the false love That infects me Sometimes everything is not enough To cure the sickness inside of me

After all that has transpired After all that's taken place After all the stab wounds And just before my death Rises like a new From the still burning ashes Of false hearts lies To fly once again To shine from within Dismember my myself Severe my veins Poison myself A heartless joke Slash at my neck Gouge out my eyes Screaming in agony You pacify me Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Soaked all the way through with remorse and regret Fire to purify my soul and blood to replenish it I search in hopes of completion to justify my love for you Nothing ever ends where our souls begin Nothing can save Me from myself You keep me safe Resurrecting my love An angel like you Can never fall Heaven i found Right in my arms Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) I found love in you I find truth in you I see light in you And it horrifies me I found love in you I find truth in you I see light in you And it horrifies me After all that has transpired After all that's taken place After all the stab wounds And just before my death Rises like a new From the still burning ashes Of false hearts lies To fly once again To shine from within Dismember my myself Severe my veins Poison myself A heartless joke Slash at my neck Gouge out my eyes Screaming in agony You pacify me Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts) Bleeding hearts shed no tears (Bleeding hearts)

You had anger pulsed rage Unexplored pathways limitless boundaries A voice above the dim screaming so loud And now you are the masses You used to run so fast, where were you going No where! I've seen the path you took it leads in circles Counter productive! Exhausted by your slavery you are broken Nothing new! Preach words you no longer believe in, your time is gone Stale! Stale! Stale! Stale! Words are empty as your heart Your lies breed hatred and contempt Keep on your grasping we won't help As your consumed into nothing You used to run so fast, where were you going No where! I've seen the path you took it leads in circles Counter productive! Exhausted by your slavery you are broken Nothing new! Preach words you no longer believe in, your time is gone Stale! Stale! Stale! Stale! Your lies, defeat your purpose Your purpose, is only lies You had anger pulsed rage Unexplored pathways limitless boundaries A voice above the dim screaming so loud And now you are the masses You used to run so fast, where were you going No where! I've seen the path you took it leads in circles Counter productive! Exhausted by your slavery you are broken Nothing new! Preach words you no longer believe in, your time is gone Stale! Stale! Stale! Stale! Stale!
