Whisper
catch
me as i fall/say you're here and it's all over now/speaking to
the atmosphere/no one's here and i fall into myself/this truth
drives me into madness/i know i can stop the pain if i will it
all away
don't turn away/don't give in to the pain/don't try to
hide/though they're screaming your name/don't close your eyes/God
knows what lies behind them/don't turn out the light/never sleep
never die
i'm frightened by what i see/but somehow i know that there's much
more to come/immobilized by my fear/and soon to be blinded by
tears/i can stop the pain if i will it all away
fallen angels at my feet/whispered voices at my ear/death before
my eyes/lying next to me i fear/she beckons me shall i give
in/upon my end shall i begin/forsaking all i've fallen for i rise
to meet the end
Imaginary
Swallowed
up in the sound of my screaming/Cannot cease for the fear of
silent nights/Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming/The
goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers/And candy clouds of lullaby/I lie
inside myself for hours/And watch my purple sky fly over me
I linger in the doorway/Of alarm clock screaming/Monsters calling
my name/Let me stay/Where the wind will whisper to me/Where the
raindrops/As they're falling tell a story
If you need to leave the world you live in/Lay your head down and
stay awhile/Though you may not remember dreaming/Something waits
for you breathe again
My Immortal
i'm
so tired of being here/suppressed by all of my childish fears/and
if you have to leave/i wish that you would just leave/because
your presence still lingers here/and it won't leave me alone
these wounds won't seem to heal/this pain is just too
real/there's just too much that time cannot erase
when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears/when you'd scream
i'd fight away all of your fears/and i've held your hand through
all of these years/but you still have all of me
you used to captivate me/by your resonating light/but now i'm
bound by the life you left behind/your face it haunts my once
pleasant dreams/your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone/and though
you're still with me/i've been alone all along
Where Will You Go
You’re
too important for anyone/There’s something wrong with
everything you see/But I, I know who you really are/You’re
the one who cries when you’re alone
But where will you go/With no one left to save you from
yourself/You can’t escape/You can’t escape
You think that I can’t see right through your eyes/Scared to
death to face reality/No one seems to hear your hidden
cries/You’re left to face yourself alone
But where will you go/With no one left to save you from
yourself/You can't escape/I realize you’re afraid/But you
can’t abandon everyone/You can’t escape/You don’t
want to escape
I’m so sick of speaking words that no one understands/Is it
clear enough that you can’t live your whole life all alone/I
can hear you in a whisper/But you can’t even hear me
screaming
Field of Innocence
I
still remember the world/From the eyes of a child/Slowly those
feelings/Were clouded by what I know now
Where has my heart gone/An uneven trade for the real world/I want
to go back to/Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all
I still remember the sun/Always warm on my back/Somehow it seems
colder now
Where has my heart gone/Trapped in the eyes of a stranger/I want
to go back to/Believing in everything
[Latin hymn]
Even in Death
Give
me a reason to believe that you're gone/I see your shadow so I
know they're all wrong/Moonlight on the soft brown earth/It leads
me to where you lay/They took you away from me but now I'm taking
you home
I will stay forever here with you/My love/The softly spoken words
you gave me/Even in death our love goes on
Some say I'm crazy for my love, Oh my love/But no bonds can hold
me from your side, Oh my love/They don't know you can't leave
me/They don't hear you singing to me
And I can't love you, anymore than I do
Anywhere
Dear
my love, haven't you wanted to be with me/And dear my love,
haven't you longed to be free/I can't keep pretending that I
don't even know you/And at sweet night, you are my own/Take my
hand
We're leaving here tonight/There's no need to tell anyone/They'd
only hold us down/So by the morning light/We'll be half way to
anywhere/Where love is more than just your name
I have dreamt of a place for you and I/No one knows who we are
there/All I want is to give my life only to you/I've dreamt so
long I cannot dream anymore/Let's run away, I'll take you there
Forget this life/Come with me/Don't look back you're safe
now/Unlock your heart/Drop your guard/No one's left to stop you
Lies
Bound
at every limb by my shackles of fear/Sealed with lies through so
many tears/Lost from within, pursuing the end/I fight for the
chance to be lied to again
You will never be strong enough/You will never be good enough/You
were never conceived in love/You will not rise above
They'll never see/I'll never be/I'll struggle on and on to feed
this hunger/Burning deep inside of me
But through my tears breaks a blinding light/Birthing a dawn to
this endless night/Arms outstretched, awaiting me/An open embrace
upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you/I have lived and I died for
you/Abide in me and I vow to you/I will never forsake you
Away From Me
I
hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll/I hide behind
a smile as this perfect plan unfolds/But oh, God, I feel I've
been lied to/Lost all faith in the things I have achieved/And I
I've woken now to find myself/In the shadows of all I have
created/I'm longing to be lost in you/(away from this place I
have made)/Won't you take me away from me
Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins/I
look into myself, but my own heart has been changed/I can't go on
like this/I loathe all I've become
Lost in a dying world I reach for something more/I have grown so
weary of this lie I live
