The fleeting hours fall away Conscience calling, but still it fades Like ships in the night that drift away I know you're out there, but still you fade Who has been left behind? And who has changed? I'm not the same any more Who has been lifted up? And who has fallen down? Nothing's everlasting Ghosts and shadows roam my mind Fading features, lost in time Warmth surrounds me colours dance I long to see a fleeting glance, to set me free Who has been left behind? And who has changed? I'm not the same any more Who has been lifted up? And who has fallen down? Nothing's everlasting Everlasting Everlasting Who has been left behind? And who has changed? I'm not the same any more Who has been lifted up? And who has fallen down? Nothing's everlasting

Those final words, I barely heard A passing thought, as I closed the door Raise me up, to my blackened skies Alone I face this colossal storm Don't leave, Don't you ever leave, if I call Don't leave Don't you leave me here, all alone On hands and knees, I crawled from you Gasping for air, a dying breath Lift me up from this blistered earth Be my severance from a hollow world Don't leave Don't you ever leave, if I call Don't leave Don't you leave me here, all alone To drown... Arise, adrift and roaming Embers glow dancing in flame As my reason for living Returns to haunt me again If only for a moment Set me free from the past Hear the words I can not say Don't let them be my last

A subtle gesture, a constant reminder Of memories etched deep in me Follow this path and it will lead you in circles Answers you seek, remain unseen Hope that spurred me on Burdened by a soul undone The shattered remains, splinters of deceit in my side Face this moment in silence Feel that I cannot breathe, as I break at the seams What happened to my self-control? The man that I've become Wreckage of a soul undone I've already seen enough to change my mind To regret the longing and waste of borrowed time As reasons come and seasons go I look for solitude But come a time of change... No light leads me on Falter on a soul undone But come a time of change... But come a time of change...

Night bleeds into the day Don't know when I'll close my eyes Feel that I've lost my pace As I'm swallowed by the light But if you call my name I'll no longer fall... Faithless I face the days Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Broken I pick up pieces Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Faces that seem the same All blend into the night Trying to find my place With only moments on my side But if you call my name I'll no longer fall... Faithless I face the days Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Broken I pick up pieces Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Raise my eyes into the morning light And I know I'll be there soon Remembrance of another life And I know I'll be with you Faithless I face the days Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Broken I pick up pieces Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one Hollow inside, but I'm not the only one

How many reasons do I have left inside? You leave me to tend my wounds Dreams are broken in times of silence Words no longer find a truth Can you see it again? Can you even pretend? How many times must I hold back my tears Before you leave me with no pride? Broken dreams that just wont mend A lifetime before my eyes Leave me here, I don't see you I no longer hide Dreams are just memories My skin is thicker this time My sense of self, now smothered by your lies The years have worn me down What reason can I try to find To tell myself "its alright"? Can you see it again? Can you even defend? Leave me here I don't see you I no longer hide Dreams are just memories My skin is thicker this time

I find myself asking you why this drags us down? Why live with the regrets of yesterday? I've seen these things one thousand times before But I'm still cold, waiting for the truth to set me free Save me from confusion, I've been biding my time I see clearer now, I've opened my eyes Dreams will come and dreams will go away again I don't need them, I've opened my eyes You keep telling me I've crossed the line the last time Nothing changes, running round in circles once again I've heard your words one thousand times before But I'm still searching, looking for a truth inside of me Save me from delusion, lift me up above this I see clearer now, I've opened my eyes Dreams will come and dreams will quickly disappear I don't need them, I've opened my eyes Save me from illusion, show me more to this life I see clearer now, I've opened my eyes Dreams will come and dreams will leave you broken I don't need them I've opened my eyes

In the endless dark it shines It echoes through these lonely walls Close your eyes, the light is blinding Here beneath the soil Searching for a silver lining Through the loneliness and scorn Scratching at my splintered cell Never to be reborn On the rocks the tide is rising Swallowing the world The black sea so enticing So infinite and cold From above the voices ring They echo through the dawn I hear the broken words they sing A final verse to mourn Beneath the soil No one hears my words My cries of sorrow So I just wait here for tomorrow Beneath the soil No one breathes A living word of life's deceit So I'll just wait here for tomorrow Beneath the soil No one hears my words My cries of sorrow So I just wait here for tomorrow Beneath the soil No one breathes A living word of life's deceit So I'll just wait here for tomorrow

Endless lies Dreams that flicker like the dying light I don't understand myself any more Chosen words Careful not to hit you where it hurts Can't forgive myself this time As I come crashing to the floor Hopeful eyes Looking for a way to get inside I've turned away for far too long Open arms Love you gave me helped to keep me strong Don't know what you've got till it's gone Regret I never told you You are my light Are you here? You are my light Are you near? All these things I kept inside I pushed you away, afraid of life I never meant to let you go Leave you broken and all alone Hear me when I say these words You'll always be my only thoughts I need you here with me tonight To cover me with your dying light

With sunken eyes I raise my weary head Before the sullen rising of my apathy I taste of the life that giveth to me Smothered in the growing weight of empathy Falling to my bloodied knees I scream to a god that some may claim they've seen Beneath me burns this harrowed land Cracks in this barren earth threaten to swallow me Waiting for this feeling to subside Opening my eyes, I face this empty life See this world in its slow decay Dying of a plague, mankind's insanity Reigning from the skies above Covering this land in blackened death and grief Where is the voice of reason? Lost in translation or just trying to ignore? And I won't ever let you see The hatred and the pain I've seen And I won't ever let you be As alone or misled, like I've been And I won't covert all your pain To bleed you dry of life again And I won't ever make you plead For your sanity on your hands and knees Don't leave me here to face the turning tide Don't leave me here to see the dawning light Don't leave me in a world that has gone numb Don't leave me here to find my way
