Inside the minds of the fallen What have they left behind? Silent screams escape you When all you hear is fear Chasing times we took for granted ‘Till all our years were spent All the signs appeared unbroken Till we were yearning for the past Tell me, what's it like on the other side? Does the cold embrace make you feel alive? All these torn up, dirty pages Are the chapters of this life You may just skip this part of the story And find a spot you like Pick a side, choose a lie Because it won't get much better Heroes die, one survives But he wished he hadn't either Our minds, we thought were broken But we never lost our sight We couldn't change what we'd chosen Our paths had been synchronized Chasing times we took for granted Till all our years were spent All the signs appeared unbroken Till we were yearning for the past Tell me, what's it like on the other side? Does the cold embrace make you feel alive? All these torn up, dirty pages Are the chapters of this life You may just skip this part of the story And find a spot you like Pick a side, choose a lie Because it won't get much better Heroes die, one survives But he wished he hadn't either

This puzzle piece I've never found It says so much, but not enough I'll take the chance of drawing in The small, but crucial, perfect fit Will you take this chance with me? There's not much I haven't seen If you take a stand, take one with me We will end so perfectly Take my hand Take a chance Take a look at this face The last mistake you will make This life is tearing us apart This mystery still goes unsolved I've found all the clues, all but one I've been searching for far too long This cracked spyglass won't tell me anymore You can't take this stand with me You've already seen what's inside of me If you take a chance, don't take me We will end so perfectly Take my hand Take a stand Take a look at this face The last mistake you will make This life is tearing us apart If I don't want to be saved Then there's not much you can say This fight is tearing me apart Take my hand Take a stand Take my hand Take a stand This life is overwhelming Will you surrender? No matter what I choose It won't get much better Show me my path Don't hide it from me How can I last When you're running from me? Take a look at this face Take a look at this face The last mistake you will make This life is tearing us apart If I don't want to be saved Then there's not much you can say This fight is tearing me apart

Farewell 05:47
It seems you've made up your mind Our dream's forsaken How could I let this happen The pride won't cease This moment stop our time You've gone this marks the end The tattered scratchbook burns bright Go on, farewell my friend This unjust deprivation Will not prevail I'm done hallucinating We will not fail My empty soul calls out for you This fight's not worth it anymore My dream's no different this time I will not give up I'm being pulled back under I'll struggle on This moment stop our time You've gone this marks the end The tattered scratchbook burns bright Go on, farewell my friend This unjust deprivation Will not prevail I'm done hallucinating We will not fail My empty soul calls out for you This fight's not worth it anymore I know you'll regret it I won't let you forget it Your vile acts won't stop us We will not back down This unjust deprivation Will not prevail I'm done hallucinating We will not fail My empty soul calls out for you This fight's not worth it anymore

Still Alone 06:20
Your light was slowly fading Each moment took your breath away Now there's no telling what you've done Your time now stops it's ticking You refused your given right to stay Now I'm left with your price to pay How could you do this to me? I'd give anything for you I want to hear your breathing Tell me it will come true Your heart halts Bring me closer to your heart I don't want to be alone Make me believe that you're here So that I won't know that I'm still alone I've tried to stop my mourning And get back on my own two feet But you're still there, pushing me down I tell myself you're coming So I can push right through the day But deep down, you never make a sound How could you do this to me? I'd give anything for you I want to hear your breathing Tell me it will come true Your heart halts Bring me closer to your heart I don't want to be alone Make me believe that you're here So that I won't know that I'm still alone Where are you? I'll find you I promise we will meet again Don't hurry, you'll see me I will always be with you Where are you? You left me Don't try and calm me down How could you betray me? My life has broken down My life has broken down Just get away from me

Take Me Home 04:28
Take me home Tearing everything apart, or anything else I once knew You scattered all of it out of my reach I won't forget all the things you said You're leading me on again And ripping everything out of my heart Take a moment to look at yourself That smile won't be there for long One more chance to recite your amends Before I destroy all that I've brought How can you say; "We have no purpose" All that I am Is what you wanted Take me home This tide won't stop pushing me down Say no more This path can't be walked on my own Heed my suffering Call out my name You know deep down whose soul to save Sorrow's gone My cries have finally been ended I fall upon The very side you rejected Take me home I gave everything to you While you were filling my head with deceit My heart was taken by claws Thrown through flames I can't help but take away this pain By any means necessary And ripping everything out of this life How can you say; "We have no purpose" All that I am Is what you wanted Take me home This tide won't stop pushing me down Say no more This path can't be walked on my own Heed my suffering Call out my name You know deep down whose soul to save Sorrow's gone My cries have finally been ended I fall upon The very side you rejected Take me home Take a moment to look at yourself That smile won't be there for long One more chance to recite your amends Before I destroy all that I've brought Take a moment to look at yourself That smile won't be there for long One more chance to recite your amends Before I destroy all that I've brought
