I Am Not You

Look in my eyes,
Now tell me what,
You see in them.
I'll tell you what's in yours:
Nothing but greed,
Nothing but lies,
Nothing but hate,
Now you see what I have seen in you
How am I supposed to build these bridges? I don't even think I can.
And when did it become your decision how I lead the life I live?
Well, I am not you. No, I am not you.
Well, I am not you. No, I am not you.
Put salt in my wound,
Betray what small,
Respect I had,
Now, I know what's in you:
Nothing but greed,
Nothing but lies,
Nothing but hate,
You can't hide what I have seen in you
How am I supposed to hide these feelings? I don't even think I can.
And when did it become your decision how I lead the life I live?
Well, I am not you. No, I am not you.
Well, I am not you. No, I am not you.
This time it's done.
I gave you all this time.
You run your mouth, talk shit.
Give it up.

Always

Oh, it's always, it's always, it's always there...
(Let's save a lifetime right here right now)
Can't erase the pain
I lost myself inside
What's that take?--my self, my shame? I can't decide.
My shell withholds the blame.
Heart weighs down with doubt
Walls are reaching out.
Until I never can believe...
Just stay away from me this time
There's always something more
I run away and hide
And now I see... I know why
I've waited all this time
Wondering if there's something more
And if the chance came once again
If now you would...
Tear my life again
Doubt always says you will...
The pain it always says you will...
Oh, it's always, it's always, it's always there...
(Let's save a lifetime right here right now.)

Dead Inside

All these years,
all my life
It's all that I wanted to be
It's over now
I'm dead weight here
I'm dust and decay
It's all that I have left to be
It's over
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't get up if you never try
You can't evolve if you cannot survive
You can't break free if you never decide
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't run and you cannot hide
Through this fear,
I'm frozen still
It's all that I can do to breathe
It's over now
I'm dead weight here,
I'm dust and decay,
Its' all that I have left to be
It's over
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't get up if you never try
You can't move on if you cannot survive
You can't break free if you never decide
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't live if you're dead inside
You can't run and you sure can't hide
stop running
stop hiding
start living
start trying
and get up and breathe

Let's go out tonight.
Let's change the world tonight.
The soul shimmers inside
Ignites the flame alive
The way we hold these things so tight
Spreads like cancer flooding the fire
Let's say you could...
End all this pain and suffering tonight
Let's stand up tall and take this, fight this, bring this shadow into light
It's all I wanted to be
This life belongs to me
It's time to fight
I don't want to sink inside the darkness within
When I know I have the strength to get up again
The soul will dim inside
Try not to let it hide
There's still a light in us tonight
Buried too deep inside to shine
There isn't time...
There isn't anything we have to hide
All this pain we've held inside us made us into something paralyzed.
It's all I wanted to be
This life belongs to me
It's fight or die
I don't want to be someone whose life fades away
I don't want to live and die leaving nothing changed
Let's own this.
Let's take this world tonight.
Destroy it...
Reshape it...
Make it right this time.
I don't want to be someone who stands aside
I don't want to be someone who lives a lie
I don't want to be someone who waits all their life
I don't want to be someone who lives to die

Desolate Landscape

Look at ourselves and lie
But we know the things inside
We ask ourselves:
Who we are
Why we live
Why we die
How we came to be here
Who we are
Why we try
Why we hurt
Where the soul goes when you die
Risen from nothing
Watching the stars
Searching the skies
All this time
This Landscape
This Desolate Landscape
That stretches before us
To the end of space and time
Risen from nothing
Watching the stars
Searching the skies
All this time
All this time
All these lives
All this pain
All these souls we've yielded
All this time
All this... you will this?
All this time
All these days
Will not fall
Will not stand before you
All these days
Of Judgement, I
Can't be blamed
Will not follow you to
Any end
I can see
Will not stay
I will not soak in this sorrow
All alone
All this time
All this life
Cannot make me follow

The days roll in and roll out
like the waves of the ocean
One day they'll run out
And I hope I can say I'm ready
Oh, the way I feel
All the weight inside
How the blade breaks through
All the way inside
Oh, the way I bleed
All that's left inside
On the day we drew our swords
The lives we lead branch further out
Old friends become strangers
One day we'll cross paths
And I hope you recognize my face
Oh, the way I feel
All the weight inside
How the blade breaks through
All the way inside
Oh, the way I bleed
All that's left inside
On the day we drew our swords
This only life is all we'll ever know or ever have
So we try to hide our fear behind a shield of hope
One life, but I want to be wrong
"No there's some way out"
Oh, the way I feel
All the weight inside
How the blade breaks through
All the way inside
Oh, the way I bleed
All that's left inside
On the day we drew our swords
Will we ever learn
Will we ever try to live
Will we ever learn
Will we ever put our swords down
So much more to life
