Before the Dawn
Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you/I am nothing more than to see you there/And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away/We'll be lost before the dawn
If only night can hold you where i can see you, my love/Then let me never ever wake again/And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away/We'll be lost before the dawn
somehow i know that we cant wake again from this dream/it's not real, but it's ours
Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away/We'll be lost before the dawn
Breathe No More
I've been looking in the mirror for so long/That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side/All the little pieces falling, shatter/Shards of me/Too sharp to put back together/Too small to matter/But big enough to cut me into so many little pieces/If I try to touch her/And I bleed/I bleed/And I breathe/I breathe no more
Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirits well/Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child/Lie to me/Convince me that I've been sick forever/And all of this/Will make sense when I get better/But I know the difference/Between myself and my reflection/I just can't help but to wonder/Which of us do you love/So I bleed/I bleed/And I breathe/I breathe now...
Bleed/I bleed/And I breathe/I breathe/I breathe/I breathe no more.
Exodus
My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams/20 bucks should get me through the week/Never said a word of discontentment/Fought it a thousand times but now/I'm leaving home
Here in the shadows/I'm safe/I'm free/I've nowhere else to go but/I cannot stay where I don't belong
Two months pass by and it's getting cold/I know I'm not lost/I am just alone/But I won't cry/I won't give up/I can't go back now/Waking up is knowing who you really are
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies/So much more dismay in empty eyes
Farther Away
I took their smiles and I made them mine/I sold my soul just to hide the light/And now I see what I really am/A thief a whore, and a liar
I run to you/Call out your name/I see you there/Farther away
Im numb to you - numb and deaf and blind/You give me all but the reason why/I reach but I feel only air at night/Not you, not love, just nothing
Try to forget you/But without you I feel nothing/Don't leave me here, by myself/I can't breathe
Forever Gone, Forever You
I wanted you to be with me/For so long I don't even know why now/But now that I've given up on you/Defiantly you see me
Walking away I see the pain/You put me through/Lost in your game to change the same/Forever gone, forever you
There's something very wrong about this/I think you knew all along somehow/You'll only take me to change my mind/Lonely, broken, and defeated
So far away I see the truth/I see through you/Now that I know the way you play/I don't want to
Forgive Me
Can you forgive me again?/I don't know what I said/But I didn't mean to hurt you/I heard the words come out/I felt that I would die/It hurt so much to hurt you/Then you look at me/You're not shouting anymore/You're silently broken/I'd give anything now/to kill those words for you/Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."/But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah
'Cause you were made for me/Somehow I'll make you see/How happy you make me/I can't live this life/Without you by my side/I need you to survive/So stay with me/You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry
And you forgive me again/You're my one true friend/And I never meant to hurt you
Give Unto Me
I've been watching you from a distance/The distance sees through your disguise/All I want from you is your hurting/I want to heal you/I want to save you from the dark
Give unto me your troubles/I'll endure your suffering/Place onto me your burden/I'll drink your deadly poison
Why should I care if they hurt you/Somehow it matters more to me/Than if I were hurting myself/Save you (save you)/I'll save you
Fear not the flame of my love's candle/Let it be the sun in your world of darkness/Give unto me all that frightens you/I'll have your nightmares for you/If you sleep soundly
Goodnight
Goodnight,
sleep tight/No more tears/In the morning I'll be here/And when we
say goodnight/Dry your eyes/Because we said goodnight/And now
goodbye/We said goodnight/And now goodbye
Listen to the Rain
Listen to each drop of rain (listen listen)/Aaah/Whispering secrets in rain (listen listen)/Aaah
Franticly searching for someone to hear/That story be more than it hides/Each droplet long gone?/Can't we stay for a while?/It's just to hard to say goodbye/Listen to the rain
I stand alone in the storm (listen listen)/Suddenly sweet I say no/(Listen listen)/Couldn't they stay for you haven't much time/Open your eyes to the love around you/You can feel you're alone/But I'm here still with you/You can do what you dream/Just remember to listen to the rain
Missing
Please, please forgive me/But I won't be home again/Maybe someday you'll look up/And, barely conscious, you'll say to no one:/"Isn't something missing?"
You won't cry for my absence, I know/You forgot me long ago/Am I that unimportant...?/Am I so insignificant...?/Isn't something missing?/Isn't someone missing me?
Even
though I'm the sacrifice/You won't try for me, not now/Though I'd
die to know you love me/I'm all alone.
Isn't someone missing me?
Please, please forgive me/But I won't be home again/I know what you do to yourself/I breathe deep and cry out/"Isn't something missing?/Isn't someone missing me?"
And if I bleed, I'll bleed/Knowing you don't care/And if I sleep just to dream of you/And wake without you there/Isn't something missing?/Isn't something...
October
I can't run anymore/I fall before you/Here I am/I have nothing left/Though I've tried to forget/You're all that I am/Take me home/I'm through fighting it/Broken/Lifeless/I give up/You're my only strength/Without you/I can't go on/Anymore/Ever again
My only hope (All the times I've tried)/My only peace (To walk away from you)/My only joy/My only strength (I fall into your abounding grace)/My only power/My only life (And love is where I am)/My only love
I can't run anymore/I give myself to you/I'm sorry/I'm sorry/In all my bitterness/I ignored/All that's real and true/All I need is you/When night falls on me/I'll not close my eyes/I'm too alive/And you're too strong/I can't lie anymore/I fall down before you/I'm sorry/I'm sorry
Constantly ignoring/The pain consuming me/But this time it's cut too deep/I'll never stray again.
So Close
I've spent so much time throwing rocks at your window/That I never even knocked on the front door
I walk by statues never even made one chip/but if i could leave a mark on the monument of the heart/I just might lay myself down for a little more than I had the last day
Wait a time to spare these lies we tell ourselves/These days have come and gone/But this time is sweeter than honey
Solitude
How many times have you told me you love her/As many times as I've wanted to tell you the truth/How long have I stood here beside you/I live through you/You looked through me
Ooh, Solitude,/Still with me is only you/Ooh, Solitude,/I can't stay away from you
How many times have I done this to myself/How long will it take before I see/When will this hole in my heart be mended/Who now is left alone but me
Ooh, Solitude,/Forever me and forever you/Ooh, Solitude,/Only you, only true
Everyone leaves me stranded/Forgotten, abandoned, left behind/I can't stay here another night
Your secret admirer/Who could it be
Ooh, Can't you see/All along it was me/How can you be so blind/As to see right through me
And Ooh, Solitude,/Still with me is only you/Ooh, Solitude,/I can't stay away from you
Ooh, Solitude,/Forever me and forever you/Ooh, Solitude,/Only you, only true
Surrender
Is this real enough for you/You were so confused/Now that you've decided to stay/We'll remain together
You can't abandon me/You belong to me
Breathe in and take my life in you/No longer myself only you/There's no escaping me, my love/Surrender
Darling, there's no sense in running/You know I will find you/Everything is perfect now/We can live forever
Understanding (Wash It All Away)
"You hold the answers deep within your own mind/Consciously, you've forgotten it/That's the way the human mind works/Whenever something is too unpleasant, to shameful for us/to entertain, we reject it/We erase it from our memories/But the imprint is always there."
(Can't wash it all away)/(Can't Wish it all away)/(Can't hope it all away)/(Can't cry it all away)
The pain that grips you/The fear that binds you/Releases life in me/In our mutual/Shame we idolize/To blind them from the truth/That finds a way from who we are/Please don't be afraid/When the darkness fades away/The dawn will break the silence/Screaming in our hearts/My love for you still grows/This I do for you/Before I try to fight the truth my final time
"We're supposed to try and be real/And I feel alone, and we're not together. And that is real."
Can't wash it all away/Can't wish it all away/Can't cry it all away/Can't scratch it all away
Lying beside you/Listening to you breathe/The life that flows inside of you/Burns inside of me/Hold and speak to me/Of love without a sound/Tell me you will live through this/And I will die for you/Cast me not away/Say you'll be with me/For I know I cannot/Bear it all alone
"You're not alone, honey."/"Never... Never."
Can't fight it all away/Can't hope it all away/Can't scream it all away/It just won't fade away, No
Can't wash it all away/Can't wish it all away/Can't cry it all away/Can't scratch it all away
(Can't fight it all away)/(Can't hope it all away)/Can't scream it all away/Ooh, it all away/Ooh, it all away
"But the imprint is always there. Nothing is ever really forgotten."/"Because I'm dying too."
