1.
Struggling there in the night And what seems so safe is only a lie Lying there in the night Seeing the same would only be right Crying into the night And what seemed so safe isn't alive Finding out in the night Seeing the same will only take time To find the answers now You will get lost To ask the questions now You will get lost Right now this is complicates it all In time I will forget it Now I said it
2.
Here you waited now Never stop look around Many things flow Your mind unravels As your heart beats You're hoping to find Now you're lost and you're out of control You're thinking of which way to go Fear grips your face won't let you go This might seem Lied to As your heart beats You're running to die And you think there's nothing there but you're wrong Constantly feeling your minds made up This isn't what you wanted was it Try to kneel on your own What flies through your mind Can it be read I think you shouldn't
3.
Here we go again walking in circles with our heads Looking for the truth or something somewhere in between I hope we make up our minds And it's all that I wanted to give And it's all that I wanted to see Digging in the ground to bring life what once was dead Can't seem to follow Directions leave Wallowing in life worth living, maybe And it's all that I wanted to give And it's all that I wanted to see Being predictable You always see Waiting And saying Do you wanna breathe in the air you're suffocating Will you take that chance to see if you're alive Fighting the end Watching go down Waiting and saying, the obstacle Stating the hopeless and obvious
4.
Wishing I can show you This way talking down All the good things Intake life before you Thinking; taking note Of all the mistakes To fall behind And wait out loud At all besides Let breathe in time I want to destroy I want to step inside your mind I want to destroy right now I want to destroy I want to take you out of line I want to destroy it all To fall behind And wait out loud At all To wait And see The end
5.
So you think you're charming And so beautiful And you're so disarming Taking all control And you take your time and all Your time and all Your life and all You ignore the obvious You're left there all alone And you take this garbage And make it all your own And you waste your time and all Your time and all Your life and all And when you run and hide So weak You fake this world so flawlessly And when you run away this time All will see Finally discouraged Finally encouraged
6.
So is that the way it goes Run away from everything you know You need answers for your questions If you wait a while I promise they'll be here Take a wild guess The chances are against you Fake a smile yet No one knows the difference It's like you're not even listening People try, but you just walk Screw that sympathy you're asking for It's you that threw the first stone at yourself You're lonely Whose fault is that Look around you it's closing in scared Walk in Hear them Feel like empty Talk like empty Take a walk I've tried Millions of lights Dying to see The darkness lives inside To kill
7.
I saw you turn away To see what's going I tried to call your name You were halfway gone Looking after now The door is closing No one saw you die I know I've seen you there With your arms folded A subtle kiss of pain It wasn't harming You slowly weakened now Pieces of you fall Who holds the control Move without knowing Thinking to yourself I know I saw you staring With your fists holding your pain Why's it always me Take these words and explain Walking over you Lying there with your hands full Walking through the mess The fun for tomorrow thrives in your dreams Once you've waken It's still there This life you've taken on There's no control Let's see what's going I'll see you turn away
8.
Arms tied The ways that we've gone Nothing stands in our way Fake life It's all that you're after Feeling never of shame And you cried to me Like you want it to be And you asked me to go With you all the way to see All night You're the talk of the town If you don't mind me asking
9.
Sifting through the ashes you'll find the heart Now looking in the sand To the end we'll see them fall Space moving in our touch Seasons when you spent, gone Life diminishing It's Fate, won't stop Now looking to the hand To the end I'll see it all With ache tat moves the fond See him moving on and on As you break into the light Find us even wishing that Take it off to anywhere Leaving life and you behind Make the most of nothing now Empty room is intertwined Frozen eyes up to the blue Always end with letting go
10.
Stiffnecked 04:39
Walking down to see I look down when I see Crowds around me I believe, do I believe It's something I've said with my own lips To many times before Looking down at me I look up to see There's no one there But me, just me It's something I've felt with my own life Not many times before And I see this light you're looking for And I see his face on me I fall to the earth as I try to breathe You closed your eyes and let the pain inside Stephen staring at the sky I am not that strong I was never that strong
11.
Long, it's been so Forever, it's taking Dream, your only true Face, can you tell by the expression of my Walk as slowly as possible Seems so far away almost impossible There is where I should be now And I thought it out Eliminated what was wrong And I've started now scraping away the excess And I've tossed around ideas of giving up and walking away But there's absolutely nothing more that I would want to do So bring it on Watch and stare if you wait you won't find it Mystery, could it be what I was to be Difficult, overbearing, relentless speech, and Watch and stare if you look you should find it Walk with me we'll keep ourselves from dying
