You want to know my feelings

And what I keep inside

But inside my life is breaking

Inside my heart has died

You want to hear my fears

But my fears are mine to know

‘cos when your fears are used against you

You’re better off alone

(ch)

Breaking, burning, seething, yearning

I’ll fall apart alone

When nothing good remains inside

You’re better off unknown

So inside I’ll keep the violence

Inside I’ll keep the pain

So when the demons overwhelm me

There’ll be no one else to blame

You won the battle but you missed the solution

You couldn’t see right before your eyes

Where’s the right when you close your mind to the world

Expecting something with nothing conceded

Corruption conquers and greed destroys all

Holding on to what you never needed at all

(ch)

And when we fall apart is the only time we pray

As the desperate and divided destroyed what we had made

We razed the heavens, we waged war on every plane

And then we cry “It’s all in vain”

In the rubble, amongst all of the debris

Lay a fight for honour and misguided false beliefs

And yet we won’t look back, we’ll do it all again

‘till we bring forth our own end

Resistance falls in the presence of anger

Darkness hides nothing from those already blind

Tear apart what we tried to hide from ourselves

We burn the gates of the axis of evil

We tell ourselves it’s for the good of our kind

Where’s our rights now you closed our minds to the world

(ch)

To me this is the most important one on here, dedicated to my dad. We will never forgot and will always love you.

I tried to take a picture of the day
but the distance never seemed so far away.
In this moment of decay
The violent screams surround me and lift me to a higher place

When there's nothing left inside for them to see
and there's nothing left inside I know as me
And when my soul is free
Will I finally have an answer to the questions I abandoned long ago

(ch)
And I'm sky high, trying to reach you
Looking for the shadow of that look in your eye
I'm burned out, but I'm not coming down
My wings may lay in tatters but there's nothing left that matters anymore.

I never thought I'd have to say goodbye
but I promise you will never see me cry.
When the wounds fade to a scar
forever I'll remember and forever I'll be proud of who we are.

There's a photograph in your eyes
It's a memory, a reprise.
It's the reason you despise
and the meaning in your lies.

The secrets in your mind
keep you safe but leave you blind.
Every word you say unkind
eats away at you inside.

(ch)
And it's all pretend
When the days come to an end.
Wasted years
living through pointless fears
In time you'll see
the things you could have been.
The dreams you left too late
blowing it all on fate

There's a fire in your heart
Breaks you right before you start
The flames are tearing you apart
Watching you burn as you depart

There's a wound inside your soul
like a lie you can't control
Filled with poison, filled with cold
Filled with dreams of being whole.

(ch)

I’ve finally fallen

But I’m still alive in purgatory

My soul is opened

But there’s nothing left to say

Helpless I watched as clouds of dust

Turned the day to night

By half moonlight there came a sight

A vision they cannot trust

(ch)

It came too late the feeling won’t abate

Replaying everything

Memories etched in stone that you relive alone

Never ending pain again

(ch)

I took a deep breath to prove I’d beaten death

An outcome unforeseen

An icy wind manifests my sins

And I felt my heart beat again

(ch)

Behind my back there’s no defense

No defense, lost my sense

Take me down, I’ve nothing left

Nothing left, just save your breath

You took reality from me

All I had worked so hard for

You threw it away

I’ve only scars to cry for

Is it bitterness or cruelty

That drives this heartless game

Will your only happiness

Be when I’m insane

If it’s what it takes I’ll fight you

I won’t lay down and die

But cowards bullies and sadists

I thought this need would go away

But it drags me in

Drags me down though all I’ve seen

Drags me through my sin

(ch)

Are we talking about it

Why we talking about it

Are we talking about it

Just stop talking about it now

Easy, sinking, bleeding, screaming

A needle points my way

Points me to another world

and a better day

(ch)

Deception, infection is taking its toll

Existing through the fear

Chemical dependency is no bad thing

It’s the twisted reason I’m still here

(ch)

The mask I had is slipping

I can no longer keep my grip

I only held on ‘cos I knew

You couldn’t bear to see me slip

And fall

So far away from me

I see

that nothing’s as important as it seems

Feigning my indifference

To all that’s done to me

Breaking me apart inside

But inside no one can see

Me fall

So far from everything and

I see

that nothing here means anything to me

The saddest part is once I did believe

But I’ve seen and now I know I have to leave
