Dead in the Shadow
Relapse into the tide Where it goes we will never know You hate what you chose Still too tired to grow Fade out in the night sky Where it shines I won't be there I lost you so long ago I gave up on you You gave up on me I know I tried You were just too blind to see I gave up on you You gave up on me What we were lacking We gained in frailty Swallow the sun cause you feel incomplete The pieces you need won't come from me Pull me apart, aren't we suffering? Just write me out, oh won't you please? We're being overgrown with complacency You better get up or you're dead to me We're being overgrown with complacency I can't give up the ghost, I love the haunting Haunt me, break me Show me you care Left out, fade out Come pick me up Cut ties, strangle Hang here with me I'm just lonely, why can't you see? I wasn't born just to be abandoned I wann't born just to be abandoned These roots still grow inside I'm trying my best to hide the petals from the sun These roots still grow inside I'm trying my best to hide the petals from the sun These roots still grow inside I'm trying my best to hide the petals from the sun These roots still grow inside I'm trying my best to hide the petals from the sun I can grow without you I can grow on my own I can grow without you I can grow on my own Collapse into the ground watching you go I hate what you chose I give up your ghost I give up the ghost I have to move from here I get up, walk away

You better pray for your life Dig the nails in the floor boards Leave a trail for your soul to find you You don't recognize yourself The mirror drips into the drain Heart pumps everything but blood You're slipping away How did you get to this place? This has taken you farther In the wrong direction Don't give into the scenery It's so much stronger Than you thought it was It's so much stronger Than you ever could be Yeah! I need a break from all these voices I need to sweat out the venom of these vipers I need a sign that you can change I want to see you drop the dead weight I want to see you drop dead You could build yourself up We're all waiting here You could build yourself up We would all help with the stones Build your house or your tomb We can't build it for you What I hate about you Is what I hate about myself the most What I hate about you Is what I hate about myself

Let me be your mirror Let me show you your shame Don't turn your face away Reflections can change My hands are tired From the weight of empty words Make it up to me Like you said you would Turn this tide for me Like you said you could Make it back to me From the wreckage of the flood Validate my sorrow Validate my pain You know you owe me this... This debt unpaid I am the mess you made You're removed from your throne And I know not, the way back I can't forgive you God no longer hears my prayers Validate my pain Validate my sorrow Maybe I can change I don't know the way

My head spins around and around (My head spins around and around) No sign of slowing down (No sign of slowing me down) Can't keep up with the breaking of my heart Can't figure out where to go in the dark Too scared to bleed out, did I miss my mark? No sign of waking up I lie to myself about the pain It takes a toll on me Break my world but what's to gain One day you're gonna see They told me not to look this way But I've been saving it, yeah I've been saving it And they told me not to run this way But I've been killing it, they caught me killing it (My head spins around and around) (My head spins around and around) It comes so easy to let you leave I know what happens next You let go and forget about me I'll figure it out on my own They told me not to look this way But I've been saving it, yeah I've been saving it And they told me not to run this way But I've been killing it, they caught me killing it Hanging from my moon I wanna see it burn out of you Walking out of my room I hate the thought of losing you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought of you I hate the thought I hate the thought I hate the thought I hate you They told me not to look this way But I've been saving it, yeah I've been saving it And they told me not to run this way But I've been killing it, they caught me killing it Hanging from my moon I wanna see it burn out of you Walking out of my room I hate the thought of losing you

Endure the struggle Catch your breath Under the rubble One spark to set ablaze my bones Signal of hope To everyone I know It's gonna take some time Just pray this flame will grow Signal of hope They got their eyes closed Inevitability I feel the pale horse coming for me When his hands reach out I say "I give myself to you, won't you take me please?" We were holding onto an untied line Slowing drifting Digging up my bones I want you to give them a home Digging up my bones Won't you please give them a home? You're digging I'm drifting Inevitability I feel the pale horse coming for me When his hands reach out I say "I give myself to you, won't you take me please?" This is how I want it to be I don't feel so lonely This is how I want it to be The only escape for me I'm drifting You're losing I'm drifting away You're gonna lose me I'm drifting away You're gonna lose

I just needed someone to talk to I just needed a friend You let me fall apart Just to build me again Someone who wouldn't give up When we couldn't see the end Once you open that door You're beginning again Hope always wins You just got to open that door Hope always wins Even though we're surrounded They got us surrounded But that look in your eyes Lets me know we'll make it out alive Back to back We'll make it home Back to back We'll be the legends of the last They've got us surrounded But I feel courage rising Where would I be if I didn't have you here with me? What path would I have forged or forgotten? My life is an imitation Of greatness that came before Light the pyres Set me ablaze Feed the pyres There's no escape Embrace the fire I am the untamed! Let me die in your shadow Go in a blazing fire Let me open this door inside What a strength I've been given We're gonna win the day Before they die they're gonna know my name! Surrounded by masses of men Clinging to their last breath They know my name... I am the impaler You chose wrong I am the impaler Hear my song

Sheltered eyes On the inside Muted tongues Say too much Kissing quiet In the grave light I was broken Till you came along Teach me to be alive Help me feel all this again Cut off the hands of time Make these minutes Bleed into seconds Make it stop For you and I There is no power Born in division There's a long road To the sky I am familiar To this desert I've wandered here For quite some time I've watched it's colors Fade and die I am a mountain Set on fire I am a prisoner To my interior The world is spinning without me

My eyes adjust from this bright light Torn out inside Spread your ashes over my eyes I want to see the dead I'm not fooling anyone anymore My eyes adjust to this darkness I have been here once before I swore I wouldn't come back My eyes are rolling back Focus on who I used to be Suffering keeps me coming back I reach out for honey Just to feel the sting I love the swarm Surrounding me I love the sting Another tear in my seams My heart is starting to fray My thread I held dear Is rolling away My eyes roll back Focus on who I used to be Can you save me? I love it when the swarm surrounds me I love it Suffer just to remember

Polish my bones Wrap them in my skin Soak them in remorse Bury them again I was tender in age Force your marks on my page Can't erase the pain Blackhole memory I float inside the grey Open wide I am the prey The blood still stains It won't go away Touch me Don't come too close Crush me Don't tell a soul Gut me Steal my light Touch me Touch me It's been too long To carry these stones I'm not alone You can't break me I won't forget It's never ending It's always haunting It's always killing It's just a feeling Look the devil in his eyes Recognize yourself Open wide Taste the flame Reconcile with yourself Open wide taste the flame I refuse to carry the blame Reconcile with yourself I just want to be at peace Touch me Don't come to close Gut me Don't tell a soul Crush me Steal my light Touch me... Feel free to pull back my skin Let yourself in I've got some crooked bones Nowhere to go Make yourself comfortable I've got some time And I'm dying to unwind I'm dying to unwind Touch You are not alone We'll make it through You'll learn to trust again Even though they crushed you You are not alone We'll see this through We will crush the crowns Of those who touched you

Sink likes to drip Soul starts to slip I wander around negative space Living just to lose Courage starts to bruise I am consumed Trying to find my place I am the shovel Yeah, I am the grave I'm looking for trouble With a smile on my face I'll bring the rope If you can bring my faith Yeah, I'll tie the knot If you can throw it away Sink likes to drip Voice starts to slip I am a rat Losing the race Bones start to creek Air is thick and stale This house is frail Holds my memories
