Middle Of Nowhere
(And the lights go off)
(And the lights go off)
NOWHERE!
I don't always recognize me
Not even my own face
I can't take the ups and downs
So I have to take these pills
And the lights go off
And then I turned around
I got to see your face
As you were falling away
And you looked just like me
I've disconnected
I'm standing in the middle of nowhere
Where nothing's real
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere
There are some things I just can't control
They're so deep within
And just when I feel I'm ok
And you pretend you're me
And the lights go off
Then I turned around
I got to see your face
As you were falling away
And you looked just like me
I've disconnected
I'm standing in the middle of nowhere
Where nothing's real
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere at all
There's something wrong
I can't feel the insides of my life
There's something wrong
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere at all
(And the lights go off)
Lay down with me
Don't promise anything
(And the lights go off)
Just lay down with me
I can't promise anything
(And the lights go off)
I've disconnected
I'm standing in the middle of nowhere
Where nothing's real
I'm stranded in the middle of nowhere at all
There's something wrong
I can't feel the insides of my life
There's something wrong
I'm lost in the middle of nowhere at all
Addicted
You find yourself in circumstances
That you can't control
You follow me around everywhere
Everywhere I go
It's the way you want it
(It's the way you want it)
And it's the way I've worked it out
It's the way you want it
(It's the way you want it)
And I'll always let you down
All the things you'll never be
The further down you walk with me
And once I had the things you'd want
Now I have something you need
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
I don't mind pretending I'm someone else
Whoever you want me to be
As long as I'm inside you
You'll never want me to leave
It's the way you want it
(It's the way you want it)
You'll never be alone
It's the way you wanted to trust in me
(It's the way you want it)
And now I have control
All the things you'll never be
The further down you walk with me
And once I had the things you'd want
Now I have something you need
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
Something that no one else can give
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want to give you more
I want to give you more
(I want to give you more)
I want you addicted to me
Father's Eyes
You tried to control everything
You tried to live through me
You tied my hands with your condescension
I was always walking on glass
You kept me locked in the past
Everything I did was to get your attention
I'll always let you down
Yeah, but I don't care
You'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
(Father's eyes)
You twist my thoughts with your ways
You let my feelings decay
And now I'm afraid of the world around me
Don't let me think for myself
You wish I was somebody else
Everything I did was for you, what about me
I'll always let you down
Yeah, but I don't care
You'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
You'll never understand
I'll withstand the pain inside
(Father's eyes)
All the things you broke
All the things you took away
All the things you lost
All the promises you made
Never giving in
Always feeling betrayed
I won't let you get inside my head
I'll always let you down
Yeah, but I don't care
You'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
I'll always let you down
Yeah, but I don't care
You'll never understand
I wasted all the time in the world in your eyes
(Father's eyes)
Sour Times
To pretend no one can find
The fallacies of morning rose
Forbidden fruit, hidden eyes
Courtesies that I despise in, mmm
Take a ride, take a shot now
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Covered by the blind belief
The fantasies of sinful screens
Bear the facts, assume the dye
End the vows, no need to lie, enjoy
Take a ride, take shot now
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Who... am I, what and why
Cause all I have left
Is my memories of yesterday
Oh... these sour times
Nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
After time, the bitter taste
Of innocence, descent or race
Scattered seed, buried lives
Mysteries of our disguise revolve
Circumstance will decide
Cause nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Nobody loves me, it's true
Not like you do
Killing Me
All the moments we'll never see
It was perfect as it needed to be
And it kills to think it's over now
And it kills to think you're someone else's
Yeah... and I feel so restless
Yeah... but I'd sleep forever
All the conversations we've had
A million times before
Now it's much too late to turn back
But it's killing me to be alone
Now I'll crawl back into myself
And I'll shut out the rest of the world
And it kills to think it's gone forever
And it kills to think you're someone else's
Yeah... and I feel so desperate
Yeah... but I'd sleep forever
All the conversations we've had
A million times before
Now it's much too late to turn back
But it's killing me to be alone
Alone
All the moments we'll never see
It was perfect and a memory
And it kills to think it's gone forever
And it kills to think I lost myself again
All the conversations we've had
A million times before
Now it's much too late to turn back
But it's killing me to be alone
And it's killing me to be alone
It's killing me
Invisible
(We can all just disappear)
Some days I'm (watching it all)
From the outside looking in
And the world is shrinking
(Picking apart) whatever skin is left on me
(Wondering what) it is I have to do
(Wondering what) it is I have to lose
(Every day) they try to take another piece of my mind
But tonight we're invisible to the world
(We can all just disappear)
And tonight we're untraceable
We're invisible
(We can all just disappear)
Some days I'm (losing it all)
By the moment I awake
And there are voices telling me
(Try to ignore) the face's eyes crawling all over us
(Wondering why) they just can't let it go
(Wondering why) they can't leave me alone
(Every day) they try to take another piece of my mind
But tonight we're invisible to the world
(We can all just disappear)
And tonight we're untraceable
And now it's possible
(We can all just disappear)
(We can all just disappear)
You can't take this life away from me
You can't take away this piece of my mind
But tonight we're invisible to the world
(We can all just disappear)
And tonight we're untraceable
And now it's possible
(We can all just disappear)
Tonight is beautiful
Tonight is beautiful
Broken
There was a dark face
In the air that day
It whispered to me I should brace myself
For the toll it would take
We lived and we couldn't cry
Or admit that this would be the last
We lived and we couldn't lie
That her eyes they said goodbye
Now I'm broken
I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken
I'll never forget the day
That we learned that we'd change
It hit me so hard
I never had a chance to prepare
Well she lives inside my life
So I go on pretending that I'm whole
She lives inside my life
But I never got to say goodbye
Now I'm broken
I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken
We lost a life
I looked into her eyes and her eyes they said goodbye
Yeah I'm broken
I'll pick up the pieces
Push everyone away
I'm broken
Thicker
I always felt like there was something
complicated around you'
but the fact is it was nothing
I could see or much less I could believe.
And I always tried to be so fair'
but the difference is you never really cared
so I guess I've always known that it was over'
she's over me.
(So why don't you care)
It's been surreal since I found you
but my skin is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
it's been so hard since you left me
but this blood is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
I always felt like there was something
hidden deep below
what I thought was nothing
but a dismal day..
but the day got away
and I never want you to mistake
that this blood won't dry on me.
And so I guess I've always known that it was over'
she's over me.
(So why don't you care)
It's been surreal since I found you
but my skin is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
it's been so hard since you left me
but this blood is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
(so why don't you come)
From the ashes of the love we burned
to the depths of it's recess:
all alone I can see so well
that the rest of my life seemed to drown so slow.
since I found you
but my skin is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
so hard since you left me
but this blood is thicker now it's over'
she's over me.
I'm so far(This blood is thicker now it's over
she's over me)
I'm so far(This blood is thicker now it's over
she's over me)
away from me
Back Of My Mind
Now don't say a word
I know you've forever been promised the world
Look into my eyes
And you'll see there's another side
So you can follow me
Right to the back of my mind
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world like me this time
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world through darker eyes
We can change the world
We can change the essence of who we are
I can save you from yourself
I'll make you feel like someone else
So you can follow me
Right to the back of my mind
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world like me this time
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world through darker eyes
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
In the back of my mind we stand alone
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
In the back of my mind you'll be safe
Don't you close your eyes
We'll be starved to pray
We all pretend there's comfort in faith
We all pretend we care
So you can follow me
Right to the back of my mind
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world like me this time
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
You'll see the world through darker eyes
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
In the back of my mind we stand alone
(In the back of my mind)
(In the back of my mind)
In the back of my mind you'll be safe
Recluse
Recluse, I'll come back
As I know that we can't hide
Let me lose my mind again
This time forever
And I will suffer
(Recluse)
And should I run for cover
(With the enemies of truth)
The guiltiest of pleasures
(Will kill themselves in you)
And all the other reasons
(Will boil in my head)
And should I fail this way
Shut up so I can sleep
Just once and I'll never ask again
Cause I've tried as I run
But I can't die
And I will suffer
(Recluse)
And I will suffer
(And put my head on you)
And I will suffer
And should I run for cover
(With the enemies of truth)
The guiltiest of pleasures
(Will kill themselves in you)
And all the other reasons
(Will boil in my head)
And should I fail this way
And you can make me suffer
And you can make me fail
And you perplex this struggle
And I will make you fail
And should I run for cover
(And wane into you)
And should I cry forever
(While the echoes beg to prove)
That all the other reasons
(Still boil in my head)
And should I fail this way
Suffer...
Suffer...
Corporation
The less I know is more
But I already know
Too much and now I'm held
Inside a tortured face
But she didn't really care
And she was one of them
I guess that's why she left
But now it's me that's scared
(They'll take away)
They'll take it all
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take my face
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take it all away
(They'll take what's left of me)
They'll take my faith
(When the walls come crashing down)
Now I've kind of changed
I guess I need some help
Cause everywhere I go
That place is bugged, I fear
I hear them in the back
And they're fighting the medicine
The only me I know
Is the me they built in me
(They'll take away)
They take take it all
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take my face
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take it all away
(They'll take what's left of me)
They'll take my faith
(When the walls come crashing down)
Just some time ago
Well I was just fine
The powers that be
Were all on my side
But I sure don't belong
And I'm all by myself
And I'm the one who knows
Our lives have disappeared
They'll take it all
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take my face
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take it all away
(They'll take what's left of me)
They'll take my faith
They'll take it all
(When the walls come crashing dwon)
They'll take my face
(When the walls come crashing down)
They'll take it all away
(They'll take what's left of me)
They'll take my faith
(When the walls come crashing down)
Fear Of God
It's so real that you can taste
This whole world has gone to waste
You feel crippled
It's not real what you've become
(Hypnotized so many times that you're paralyzed)
(You won't take another look away)
Never meant to be so
Tied into all these clones
You feel criminal
It's not real what you've become
(Hypnotized so many times that you're paralyzed)
(You won't take another look away)
(Know)
You've been warned
(And know)
There is no escape
(You'll see)
When the curtain falls
I swear you've all been warned
It's covered across this world
You're confused about your place
You feel crippled
It's not real what you've become
(Hypnotized so many times that you're paralyzed)
(You won't take another look away)
Never meant to be so
Dressed up in witches clothes
You feel criminal
It's not real what you've become
(Hypnotized so many times that you're paralyzed)
(You won't take another look away)
(Know)
You've been warned
(And know)
There is no escape
(You'll see)
When the curtain falls
I swear you've all been warned
We're lead through the fear
So afraid to be alone
(You won't take another look away)
Here we crawl through life
So afraid
(You won't take another look away)
(Know)
You've been warned
(And know)
There is no escape
(You'll see)
When the curtain falls
I swear you've all been warned
(Know)
(You won't take another look away)
(And know)
(You won't take another look away)
(And know)
(You won't take another look away)
(And know)
(You won't take another look away)
Martyr
They've built this place in here
It's where I'm banished, stuck again
And I'm lying to pass my breathe
Pass my breathe to those who would have died
Or could I go on
And wear the marks of a thousand years
And scorn the angels that I've born
Desperately, so desperately
Crawling back to the womb
Crawling back to the womb
I, I lost
Or could I go on
A knife in the hands of a beautiful woman
Will cast a spell worth a thousand years
I wish you would hold onto me
I wish you'd remember me when I'm gone
I'm gone
I died for all of you
I died for all of you
