1. Gone
I stand stagnant and alone, bitter to the bone
Dismay is my own friend, I carry home again
Flee me, love me, abandon what it is you gave me
Hate me, let me, never knowing what you saw in me
Impossible to live within this mind of shattered dreams
Impossible to love when I can't see past my scene
Plays again in my own head, story's left inside me said
(Cut you down but you won't hurt, crush the crave I'm drawn to)
Flee me, (kill me), love me, (leave me), take my woeful heart and bleed me
Hate me, (need me), let me, (be me), bring this sorrow home and give me peace
At first, the thought to end invites it's only friend
The sickness of a heart that tears this life apart
Impossible to live within this mind of shattered dreams
Impossible to love when I can't see past my scene
Plays again in my own head, story's left inside me said
(Cut you down but you won't hurt, crush the crave I'm gone)
I find I do not know you or even know myself
Nothing I've kept sacred has helped me fight this hell
I wanna feel you inside, I want to keep you (I want to hide)
Impossible to live within this mind of shattered dreams
Impossible to love when I can't see past my scene
Plays again in my own head, story's left inside me
(Cut you down but you won't hurt, crush the crave I'm gone)
2. Keeping Nothing
You turned around to see I was dying
Once was thought that I was hiding
Pulled away from what I knew I'd do
Salvaged loss, reminds me of you
Nothing left for you to die for
Seeing myself without what you've taken from me
You've taken from me
A glance at my day has left me inside
Waiting for you to free me from crying (from crying)
Bringing this down is my own illusion (illusion's gone)
Rancid hope, it drives me through (drives me through)
Nothing left for you to die for
Seeing myself without what you've taken from me
Nothing left for you to die for
Seeing myself without what you've taken from me
You've taken from me
My fear dissipating, I've always longed to watch you fade
Nothing left for you to die for
Seeing myself without what you've taken from me (close my eyes)
Nothing left for you to die for
Seeing myself without what you've taken from me
You've taken from me
3. Still I Bleed
My thoughts of you have broke my mind, a soul inside of me to find
Give to you was all of me, hidden from you is all I'll be
I've watched my life go by, nothing's faded faster than you
You'll never see me cry, this worth is not for you
Is this my suffering, the bitter cost of letting you see me?
This vacant life you bring to me won't be the reason that I
Glance into a place once knew, now estranged and darkened to me
A place that changed by all too few
Why is this real?
The dreamt dispair I find within, delivered by your eyes
An empty stare I welcome you, my own mind I defy
I've watched my life go by, nothing's faded faster than you
You'll never see me cry, this worth is not for you
Is this my suffering, the bitter cost of letting you see me?
This vacant life you bring to me won't be the reason that I bleed
Following hollow dreams that lead me to you
Breaking through I see
Following hollow dreams that lead me to you
Breaking through I see
I've watched my life go by, nothing faded faster than you
You'll never see me cry, this worth is not for you
Is this my suffering, the bitter cost of letting you see me?
This vacant life you bring to me won't be the reason that I bleed
4. Asphyxiation Theory
What happens now the man's not here, and he's not coming is he?
He's never coming, now the white coat's missing
Now there's two sides to everything, everything except you and everybody knows
You never said I was there, neve showed your face, always stayed inside
Go (needing, leaving), lies and deception, they build your pretension
Low (terror's waiting), taking for granted, you hide heavy handed
(Not just for me, everyone sees)
Suffering, wasting jealousy
You scream out your fears, it falls on deaf ears
Crimson tears from your tainted eyes
You fall from you feet, alive when you meet with the end
(Never made anyone believe in what you thought I'd done)
Trying to lose all your hidden agenda's
(I'll take my place in front of you, leaving you far behind)
Lost in your shadow, you craved for the sorrow
(Die by my eyes, no more disguise)
Suffering, wasting jealousy, you scream out your fears, it falls on deaf ears
Crimson tears from your tainted eyes
You fall from you feet, alive when you meet with the
End of you, pray for the darkness born inside of you
Destroy you, suffering what you deserve to lose
Slit your wrist for one first time, bleed not breathe you dirty whore
Suffering, wasting jealousy, scream out your fears, it falls on deaf ears
Crimson tears from you tainted eyes
You fall from you feet, alive when you meet with the end
5. Driven Away
Embrace of cold pretentious love, that seals the night
Rejection of your words above, soon gone, the light
I never wanted what I saw, you gave to me and nothing more
Your empty arms and hollow eyes, have left me broken
Echoing, are the screams, from my cries, lost in dreams
Through darkness I know that the truth won't be mine
Why try?
A burdened heart you cared for then, no more, a lie
A reason for the face of dead
You wore, still might
Again with tears of solitude
When nothing harming, hurting you
A word too far, a cut too deep
Will never heal again
Echoing, are the screams
From my cries, lost in dreams
Through darkness I know that the truth won't be mine
Why try?
Why try, you lie, I die, why try?
Echoing, are the screams
From my cries, lost in dreams
Through darkness I know that the truth won't be mine
Why try?
6. Shatter
I never knew your love was just a love impure, disguised by lust
The bitter thought you led to die would never stay untrue, a lie
Forgiving self to you was less
This child, this time, this life, this mess
When giving up held so much pain
I see the world you're seeing, I feel the pain your feeling
Never thrown, never owned, never leave me, kill me, heal me
I can't see past what's haunting me, scared my eyes refuse to see
Fear it grows and I know, the face that stares through fabled truth won't show
Falling from a time to be, awaiting stares from you to me
Flinch at every move you make, my trust was never yours to take
The wasted time you spent with me
My only childhood memories
Stained with blood my scars won't lie
Within my soul.. Within my mind
I see the world you're seeing, I feel the pain your feeling
Never thrown, never owned, never leave me, kill me, heal me
I can't see past what's haunting me, scared my eyes refuse to see
Fear it grows and I know, the face that stares through fabled truth
Your jaded eyes, inside my mind
You seem to think you're overreacting
I'm seeking attention you don't know a thing about me
Hate to compare your care with abuse
Emotions defused, let me see if you can judge me
I see the world you're seeing, I feel the pain your feeling
Never thrown, never owned, enver leave my, kill me, heal me
I can't see past what's haunting me, scared my eyes refuse to see
Fear it grows and I know, the face that stares through fabled truth won't show
