The City Sleeps In Flames
The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night?
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky
That blinds our eyes
This is our last chance
To make things right
A world lost forever
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Well try to find a place to sleep
Its going on days, that we've been awake
A sadness that i've never seen
I said your name, and you, looked the other way
Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I have nothing left to prove
And I will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
The disconnecting count of days
Of fading away, the lives that we made
Tear drops will spill, from your blue eyes
Intentions were wrong, I apologize
The empire is falling
Like they planned on and we lost it all
The city sleeps in flames
Lost...
Time...
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
Everything's gonna be fine. Right?
I can't find away to live in this life
The empire will fall like they planned on
Can we even last through the night
We watch as the sky scrapers crumble
Under the burning blue sky,
That blinds our eyes
Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
I've got nothing left to prove
And I will live with my regrets
I'd give you everything
If there was something left
Because these are my last words
And this is my last breath
I'd give you everything
But I've got nothing left
The Only Medicine
I wash it down, just to block out all the sound.
I never thought I'd be alone. Well look at me now.
Sleepless nights, painful goodbyes.
Who the hell was I kidding?
The room starts to spin,
all alone and bleeding once again.
Can you help me make this.. make this fucking end?
[Chorus]
Oh my god there must be something,
Something to take the pain away.
And so there's nothing you can give me.
It's probably better off that way.
Just forget, all I ever wanted was to forget.
Bloodshot eyes and a starless sky.
Who the hell are we kidding?
You look so content, I guess the bright side hasn't found me yet.
Pull me out so I can catch my breath.
[Chorus]
I live my life in the shadows of the things I try to hide.
[Chorus]
The World As We Know It
Time is becoming
More precious than gold
All those times wasted alone
Starving children the poison waters
And the sulffacoting skies
We won’t get another chance this time
We won’t get a second chance this time
You’ll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven’t we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they’re choosing sides
This is the world
This is the world
A virus known as rage
Is brutal in destroying
And spreading all over the place
Bleeding culture
The dying nation
When the money controls the tide
We won’t get another chance this time
We won’t get a second chance this time
You’ll be lucky if you make it out alive
Haven’t we lost our minds?
What the hell were we all thinking?
Now they’re choosing sides
Well this is the world as we know it
Have we lost our minds?
Tension is rising and rising
The world is at stake
So close your eyes
And paint a picture
Such a stirring back
Won’t last forever, forever
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
Cause the world we could have had
would have been better
much better
Just close your eyes
And paint the picture
Cuz the sunset starring back
Won’t last forever, forever
What's Said and Done
We watch these days go by
The seasons changed and faded away,
and the the things I've learned to love grow old and die
(no reason why, no reason why, no reason why, no reason why)
cause life's too short to spend alone in misery
Everybody seems to look the same
I feel so alone and now my head is bowed in shame again,
so I look to the heart of the devil for answers
This path is like a loaded gun
but what's said is done
you don't have to say a word
I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back, block out the past
find me something true that isn't sad
I'm so afraid to ask
this solace never seems to last
I turn away as the sunshine fades to black
I spend my nights and days
Locked away there all the same
I don't know how much more I can take
(what's left to say, what's left to say, what's left to say, what's left to say)
cause life's too short to spend alone in misery
This path is like a loaded gun
but what's said is done
you don't have to say a word
This path is like a loaded gun
but what's said is done
you don't have to say a word
This path is like a loaded gun
but what's said is done
you don't have to say a word
to say a word, to say a word
I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back, block out the past
find me something true that isn't sad
I'm so afraid to ask
this solace never seems to last
I turn away as the sunshine fades to black
I'm so afraid to ask
I turn my back, block out the past
find me something true that isn't sad
This path is like a loaded gun
but what's said is done
you don't have to say a word...
Just A Taste
Forgive and forget
It's just a memory
It wont get me very far this time
Is what I've done to you unforgivable?
Silence fills the room and I get the message.
Emptiness is all that's left this time.
Is what I meant to you that forgettable?
Better than
Better than me of course.
You're always right.
You're always I'm at fault.
Better than
Better than everything
I've done for you cause now you can finally sleep.
Can you smile too?
I took it as a threat
You meant it as the doctrine
Of everything that was and would become.
I don't have to ask, you don't miss me at all.
You made it so obvious
When you slowly walked away
And then I prayed in vain.
I would've traded everything
even for just a taste.
I'll live with the loneliness.
but I'll never forget
I was never your best bet.
Better than
Better than me of coarse.
You're always right.
You're always im at fault.
Better than
Better than everything
I've done for you
Cause now you can finally sleep.
Can you smile too?
Now you can sleep, can you smile too?
Can you smile now that im gone?
My Darkest Hour
Let me up
Let me out
I am suffocating
I can't live without
This all behind me
Is this almost over now?
The longest night, my darkest hour
Where you will find me
Paralyzed and dying
From the truth
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
(YOU LEFT ME!)
In my hand...
(YOU LEFT ME!)
(AND I WON'T FORGET!)
Let me out, let me out
Lips are trembling as i cannot make a sound
(my love betrays me)
Is it almost over now
the walls caved in, the roof fell down
And I am finally
Tired of the lying
And the cloud that follows you...
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired an broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
I am tired and broken
You left me at the alTar
My heart in my hand
(YOU LEFT ME!)
(AND I WON'T FORGET!)
In my hand...
(YOU LEFT ME WITH MY HEART.. IN.. MY.. HAND!)
(I WON'T FORGET!)
You left me breathless
You left me scared
But you're all that never kept me wrong
WHEN YOU WEREN'T HERE!
And now my only hope is to take back what you've stolen
My life will go on without you...
And now my only hope is to take back what you've stolen
MY LIFE WILL GO ON WITHOUT YOU!
You left me at the altar
My heart in my hand
I am tired and broken
Haunted by memories of
The life you've stolen
You've stolen...
You've stolen...
(You left me in the end)
You've stolen...
(I WILL NOT FORGET!)
Drowning You In Fear
Stand up!
You know you have the right too!
Speak up!
For the things you that you believe!
And we lift off!
And they will stab you in the back over again
Take your integrity
How long will you let this go on
They're drowning you in fear
Speak up!
Your voice should stand in breaking through
It's time now!
It's gone on way too long
As we lift off!
They will tear you into little pieces
I think there is something wrong
How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear
You're letting your hopes go straight to hell
and i know the end is near
The time will come
The time will come
The time will come
You will be sorry for what you've done
The time will come
How long will you let this go on?
They're drowning you in fear
You're letting your hopes go straight to hell
And i know the end is near
You say you're sorry
For what its worth
The Bright Side Of Suffering
i swear that if i could
i'd take it all
take it all away
all the sorrow and the pain
i'm not responsible
you always say
but you need your space
and this always ends the same
hey, is your heart still beating?
i can't stop the bleeding
i've lost you completely
hey, gather all the heartache
i'll hold it in my hand
just to lose it all again
if there's a bright side
to this suffering
can you help me see?
it's getting harder to believe
you always said this
would not last long
but it's gone on and on and on
and i just can't make it stop
hey, is your heart still beating?
i can't stop the bleeding
i've lost you completely
hey, gather all the heartache
i'll hold it in my hand
just to lose it all again
they're right this time
i wont pretend to smile
because inside
i'm black and
i am hollow
this time you've
took this way too far [x5]
i'm sick
and tired
inside
i'm black and
i am hollow
i'm trying to find
what's missing form my life
and the tables have turned
this life is only temporary [x2]
Empty Glasses
Faded pictures of the life that i once loved, with the flash the moments gone, i gave up all i have for something that never brought me any comfort now, I'd be lost to long
deny it but i am alone here
deny it but i am alone
deny it but i am alone here,
deny it but i am alone (please don't forget my name )
deny it but i am alone
Empty pages warn me and i cant move on the words i never said were wrong
I never needed to feel connected and now I'm only loved by empty glasses
its gone on too long
i need to find a way to stress my way
deny it but i am alone here
deny it but i am alone
deny it but i am alone here
deny it but i am alone (please don't forget my name)
deny it but i am alone
I'm tied you wishing me the best
all the time
oh oh oh
its a long ride home a long ride home ohhh ohhh oh
deny it but i am alone here
deny it but i am alone
deny it but i am alone here
deny it but i am alone (please don't forget my name)
deny it but i am alone
Faith In The Knife
it's getting colder
each and everyday
the nights get longer
i slowly fade
find me some beauty
in this deceptive place
before you know it
i'll be gone without a trace
give me a reason to
wake up and face the lie
i've been searching for
a way out of this life
how will i make it through
this long and bitter night?
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
with no hope that i'll find a sign
when things like breathing
feel like a waste
it seems like leaving's
the only way
the past intentions
they never got me by
i can't escape this
it has overcome my mind [x2]
it has overcome my mind [x3]
overcome my mind
give me a reason to
wake up and face the lie
i've been searching for
a way out of this life
how will i make it through
this long and bitter night?
(with no hope that i'll find a sign)
(no hope that i'll find a sign)
(no hope that i'll find a sign) [x2]
nothing this good
could last forever
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
i put all my faith in this knife
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
the lust feels like the tears fall from your eyes
i hope for the best
there's nothing left
lets celebrate a romance in it all
(tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight)
i put all my faith in this knife
(goodnight, goodnight, goodnight, goodnight)
the lust feels like the tears fall from your eyes
A Breath Of Sunshine
Lost myself in an endless goodnight
Kept the time by the patterns of the streetlight
Couldn't get it right
I could never get it right
Sadly, this is a wasted conversation
Lost on you, lost on you
This is a test of my patience
Your blue eyes are so cruel
I can't escape all the things we said
I'm taking years off my life with the weight of regret
Now there's nothing left
There's nothing left to lose
[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
The night fades with a breath of sunshine
I'll do my best to adjust to the morning light
I cant keep my place
Feels like I've been awake for days
Sadly, you turn away and now I'm faced
With the harsh truth, the harsh truth
My cold heart is a place where true love cannot bloom
[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
There's static on the airwaves
I'll try to find the light through all this haze
I can't find the words that I'm trying to say
So try to forget me as I walk away
[Chorus:]
Shouldn't I feel all right?
I swear that I tried
To be alright
To sleep at night
