from the album "Tear the World Down"
BURY ME ALIVE
There's no use in crying, all my tears won't drown my pain, free me from your sorrow, I can't grieve you again.I watched you let yourself die, and now it's too late to save you this time.
You bury me alive, and everybody's got to breathe somehow, don't leave me to die, too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.
All I did was love you, now I hate the nightmare you've become, I can't let you fool me, I won't need you again.
I watched you let yourself die, and now it's too late to save you this time.
You bury me alive, and everybody's got to breathe somehow, don't leave me to die, too consumed by your own emptiness and lies.
Make me feel this love we used to hold, all I see is black and cold, as I try to pull you down into the ground.
Everybody's got to breathe somehow, don't leave me to die, you're too consumed by all your emptiness and lies.
BURN
I can feel your fingers when I close my eyes, take your poison, look inside, I fall into dreaming.I've been waiting for your touch to bring me home, sleeping death will come and lead me out of the sunlight.
Shadows pulling me along with you, when the moonlight sings the darkness brings me back to die with you.
I'd give it all away to be with you, my heart is waiting and breaking to return, to burn with you tonight.
Hating all I am when lying by your side, taking everything of me, to leave only nothing.
I hold secrets only dreaming eyes can see, nighttime sanctuary seeks pain of the living.
Shadows pulling me along with you, when the moonlight sings the darkness brings me back to die with you.
I'd give it all away to be with you, my heart is waiting and breaking to return, to burn with you tonight.
Lay down your knife, only for you, forsake the night, all I see is you, forever night, live just to die for you.
PARADIGM
Falling to my knees before you, so ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes,Needlessly I let myself stray before you, now I face the consequence of my betrayal.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe, it's you I rely on, shelter me from cold, I'm dying, paradigm.
Do we sacrifice, let our story die, blissful lullabies return again; let me stay a while, let love survive, delicately crawling to your grave.
My paradigm, my sweet love I breathe, it's you I rely on, shelter me from cold, I'm dying, paradigm.
Perfect sky shadowed by my lies, good enough for always wanting more, I replaced all your love with pain, so afraid to face the world alone.
DON'T LEAVE ME BEHIND
It won't go away, these aching memories still dance around me, spilling over everything with beauty.I see your face in everything before me, your voice is haunting me.
I belong with you now, please give in to me and stay forever, don't leave me behind.
So afraid of dreaming, the story is repeating, screaming monsters, I'm bleeding.
I'm losing light in myself, come back into me, cause only you can save me.
I belong with you now, please give in to me and stay forever, don't leave me behind.
SLEEP WELL, MY ANGEL
Watching you sleep for so long, knowing that I can't turn the rain into sun anymore.I've given you all that I have, now I stand here too scared to hold your hand,
Afraid you might wake to see the monster that had to leave.
Cause you see the shelter as the storm, holding wind to keep you warm,
You are everything to me, this is why I have to leave, so sleep well, my angel.
Under the ash and the lies, something beautiful once here now dies,
And the tears burn my eyes as you sit there all alone, I just want to come home.
But you see the shelter as the storm, holding wind to keep you warm,
You are everything to me, this is why I have to leave, so sleep well, my angel.
I'm sorry.
THROUGH HELL
Are we alone, is there more than we believe in?Haunting these walls, shadows crawling out revealing, fear in me stays in me.
The nightmares inside here, my dark fears all in my head again.
The nightmares I fight here, all my tears pull me through hell again.
I wake in the night and I pray that I've been dreaming,
There's nowhere to hide from this nightmare calling to me, fear in me stays in me.
The nightmares inside here, my dark fears all in my head again.
The nightmares I fight here, all my tears pull me through hell again.
I WILL STAY
Tonight I'll wait for you, the raindrops are falling, with candlelight burning, for you I'll be waiting here.If all of our days have no more light and all of our dreams are lost tonight,
The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey, I will stay.
Graceful and loving, tearful and soothing, can't breathe without you, there's no life without you here.
If all of our days have no more light and all of our dreams are lost tonight,
The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey.
If all of our days have turned to night and all of our dreams are lost in lies,
The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey, I will stay.
WITHOUT YOU
Do you see me, I stand before your eyes, here in pieces, let me in your mind.When did love fade, why are we at war, where did we fall, where did we go wrong, have we lost it all?
I let you go to feel the light outside, without you I just feel so alive.
I can define where the well ran dry, and I remember every tear I cried.
Memories of lies, wasted all this time, now we've lost it all.
I let you go to feel the light outside, without you I just feel so alive.
There must be more to life than I just left behind, without you I just feel so alive.
I step into sunlight, fueled by rage and delight, there's no place for weakness, I’ll forget your sweet kiss.
ST. JOHN
This night is alive with the smell of insane, it’s reaching for me and it’s calling my name.I beg for silence to drown out their weep, how did this asylum become where I sleep?
So ashamed of waking, all my life you failed to keep me safe; my whole world's forsaken, won't let you destroy my faith again.
All my questions get no answers, locked up tight from the world outside me, no, Mommy come get me out tonight.
All my questions have no answers, I can feel the fear inside me, no, Mommy come get me out tonight.
So close I almost could taste my own grave, my moment of selfishness caused by your pain.
Almost threw this life you gave me away, in this institution for you now I pray.
So ashamed of waking, all my life you failed to keep me safe; my whole world's forsaken, won't let you destroy my faith again.
All my questions get no answers, locked up tight from the world outside me, no, Mommy come get me out tonight.
All my questions have no answers, I can feel the fear inside me, no, Mommy come get me out tonight.
Forgive me, with wings adorn me so I can fly.
I AM ONLY ONE
Memories fade into the silence, haunting me tonight.With hope's last breath I take this moment in, it will be the last.
The morning breaks and sunlight takes the pain away.
Ever after never came, and I'm still waiting for a life that never was,
And all the dreams I lay to rest are ghosts that keep me, after all that I've become I am only one.
I close my eyes and plead this empty heart of all that longs to die.
When faces lie and love will falter, I'm left with only time, and time will break the dreams that take the pain away.
Ever after never came, and I'm still waiting for a love I'll never have,
And all the dreams I lay to rest are ghosts that keep me, after all that I've become I am only one.
I'm on my own here, and no one's left to be the hero of this fairy tale gone wrong, as night will fall my heart will die alone.
Ever after never came, and I'm still waiting for my heart to beat again,
And all the dreams I've laid to rest are ghosts that keep me, after all that I've become I am only one.
TEAR THE WORLD DOWN
I've fought another day, lose another chance to break away from all I cannot bear.I suffer through the shame, wishing hope would just abandon me til this is over.
My loveless life, I'm lost in you tonight, waiting for you to turn around, only to tear the whole world down.
Time and time again, take it all and take the fall for you, fear is all I hold.
Bound and beaten down, all the pain I can't escape today is always with me.
My loveless life, I'm lost in you tonight, waiting for you to turn around, only to tear the whole world down.
My darkest night, your arms that hold me tight, waiting for you to turn around, only to tear the whole world down.
All my love is lost, all my hope is gone.
LIKE A PRAYER
I hear your voice, it's like an angel sighing, I have no choice, I hear your voice, feels like flying.I close my eyes, oh God, I think I'm falling out of the sky, I close my eyes.
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer, I'm down on my knees, I want to take you there.
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power, just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there.
Like a child, you whisper softly to me, you're in control, just like a child, now I'm dancing.
It's like a dream, no end and no beginning, you're here with me, it's like a dream, let the choir sing.
When you call my name, it's like a little prayer, I'm down on my knees, I want to take you there.
In the midnight hour, I can feel your power, just like a prayer, you know I'll take you there.
Life is a mystery, everyone must stand alone, I hear you call my name and it feels like home,
Just like a prayer, your voice can take me there; just like a muse to me, you are a mystery.
Just like a dream, you are not what you seem, just like a prayer, no choice, your voice can take me there.
