Brought up hearing this Year after passing year Driven to salvation through guilt Blinded by fear The reason it's so cold in here Is because it's all so lifeless 'Cause once you sell your soul You forget what living life is Something of hope and peace Taken by the filth and greed of men So imperfect So mislead I'll carry myself Persecute all of my own sin Your tyranny sickens me Turning into a system Using the cleansed to corrupt The lies of these "enlightened men" Taking advantage of a people inept Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered If apathy would die If anyone would ever care "But nothing is ruined, Nothing is beyond repair" Make them blind We'll be the ones who see They've ruined us They've ruined me.

You forgot Left me in your memories Where I'll dwell forever Remembering when this was real But I can't leave it there I won't ever leave it there It's easy for you to forget what you never cared for Mine was genuine I meant every word And everything I ever gave I never wanted back I'm stranded now After burning every bridge Burn the bridge Sink the ship

I feel so much hate right now Can't even take the weight Of every line and word You've used to choke the life out of me I used to want to see our sunset I believed we had another time coming for us Now I see that everything you've ever said to me Was just another lie This hurt is not gone I'm not feeling anything So cut me out or take my all But don't leave me in the middle I can't take it I'd rather be drowning (I still remain) Than suffocating on your breathless speech (You fade away) I'll wait for the sunset I'll wait for the nightsky To shadow your face From the daylight of my mind And just like the stars your eyes shine bright But they've been dead for years And I've watched your life fall apart As you confront all of your fears I swore I'd hope, I swore I'd hold so strong And never let you fade But now you're gone, I've lost my grip You've lost your way but I remain.

So worn out The sun bears down This source of life is killing me Keep fighting Pushing on Without your guiding words When this ends I'll be standing on my own two feet So what can you say to raise this world up? What can you do to keep one child from dying? We're always nothing We'll never change When you lean on crutches Pulling us down So hopeless We've been abandoned So ruined We're being destroyed Going down Crashing Burning I won't be screaming for your help I won't be asking for your forgiveness So what can you say to raise this world up? What can you do to keep one child from dying? We're always nothing We'll never change When you lean on crutches Pulling us down Just more weight to hold this world under the rising sea When our throats fill with water Our voices are one Are voices are none Break the dams I just can't hope in a world where I am so alone The only chance for peace is if we're all drowning.

I'm 17 years old and I've lost every single strand of hope I haven't learned to breathe I've just grown to watch myself choke I've lived with this frozen deadweight town Always bearing on me hard and down And I've heard graveled voices of ghosts passed Telling me to make this breath my last And I've been close Yeah, I'm so close To letting go So hopeless Not helpless Close to heartless Screaming breathless All around me I find wasted life All so scared, ruined, no energy left to fight Leaning with all their weight on any crutch they find No room to think, to change with a clouded mind This town carries curses by generation We're all so torn up from infestation I've seen Hell so many times, I can almost call it home But Heaven has stayed away, it's left me all alone Sometimes this pain grows to a point that I just cannot control And these winds tear the blood away from your veins and rip so hard at your soul Too cold to live, but with no will to even lay and die Grasping hard to any inch of hope that you can find One can only take so much, can only keep that fire burning for so long And here you'll never last, you'll never be able to stay strong The sun never really shines and you'll never feel an inch of warmth There's no point in escape, there is no hiding place, no eye of the storm I've lost every single strand of hope I haven't learned to breathe I've just grown to watch myself choke I've lived with this frozen dead weight town Always bearing on me hard and down And I've heard graveled voices of ghosts passed Telling me to make this breath my last Now every time I sleep, death consumes my dreams We've torn the fiber of our lives, we're still ripping at the seams Our hearts are filled with cold Our blood is flowing black We've locked away our love, so scared of an attack I've given up on love. I've given up on faith. I've given up on hoping I'll see better days.
