Going Under
now i will tell you what i've done for you
50 thousand tears i've cried
screaming deceiving and bleeding for you
and you still won't hear me (I'm going under)
don't lend your hand this time i'll save myself
maybe i'll wake up for once (wake up for once)
not tormented daily defeated by you
just when i thought i'd reached the bottom
i'm dying again
i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through
i'm going under
blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
so i don't know what's real and what's not
always confusing the thoughts in my head
so i can't trust myself anymore
i'm dying again
i'm going under
drowning in you
i'm falling forever
i've got to break through
so go on and scream
scream at me i'm so far away
i won't be broken again
i've got to breathe i can't keep going under
I'm dying again
I'm going under
drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
Bring Me To Life
(featuring Paul McCoy)
how can you see into my eyes like open doors,
leading you down into my core, where i've become so numb.
without a soul, my spirit sleeping somewhere cold,
until you find it there and lead it back home.
[wake me up]
wake me up inside,
[i can't wake up]
wake me up inside,
[save me]
call my name and save me from the dark.
[wake me up]
bid my blood to run,
[i can't wake up]
before i come undone.
[save me]
save me from the nothing i've become.
now that i know what i'm without,
you can't just leave me.
breathe into me and make me real.
bring me to life.
[wake me up]
wake me up inside,
[i can't wake up]
wake me up inside,
[save me]
call my name and save me from the dark.
[wake me up]
bid my blood to run,
[i can't wake up]
before i come undone.
[save me]
save me from the nothing i've become.
bring me to life.
[i've been living a lie.
there's nothing inside.]
frozen inside without your touch,
without your love, darling,
only you are the life among the dead.
all this time, i can't believe i couldn't see,
kept in the dark, but you were there in front of me.
i've been sleeping a thousand years it seems.
got to open my eyes to everything.
without a thought, without a voice, without a soul,
don't let me die here.
there must be something more,
bring me to life.
[wake me up]
wake me up inside,
[i can't wake up]
wake me up inside,
[save me]
call my name and save me from the dark.
[wake me up]
bid my blood to run,
[i can't wake up]
before i come undone.
[save me]
save me from the nothing i've become.
bring me to life.
[i've been living a lie.
there's nothing inside.]
bring me to life.
Everybody's Fool
perfect by nature
icons of self indulgence
just what we all need
more lies about a world that
never was and never will be
have you no shame don't you see me
you know you've got everybody fooled
look here she comes now
bow down and stare in wonder
oh how we love you
no flaws when you're pretending
but now I know she
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
without the mask where will you hide
can't find yourself lost in your lie
i know the truth now
i know who you are
and i don't love you anymore
never was and never will be
you don't know how you've betrayed me
and somehow you've got everybody fooled
it never was and never will be
you're not real and you can't save me
somehow now you're everybody's fool
My Immortal
I'm so tired of being here,
suppressed by all my childish fears.
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave,
'cause your presence still lingers here
and it won't leave me alone.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
and I've held your hand through all of these years,
but you still have all of me.
You used to captivate me
by your resonating light.
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind.
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams.
Your voice, it chased away all the sanity in me.
These wounds won't seem to heal.
This pain is just too real.
There's just too much that time cannot erase.
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream, i'd fight away all of your fears,
and i've held your hand through all of these years,
but you still have all of me.
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone.
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along.
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
and i've held your hand through all of these years,
but you still have all of me.

Haunted
long lost words whisper slowly to me
still can't find what keeps me here
when all this time i've been so hollow inside
i know you're still there
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i won't let you pull me down
hunting you i can smell you - alive
your heart pounding in my head
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
saving me raping me
watching me
watching me wanting me
i can feel you pull me down
fearing you loving you
i wont let you pull me down
My Tourniquet
i tried to kill the pain
but only brought more
(so much more)
i lay dying
and i'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal
i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved
am i too lost?
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
do you remember me
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will you forget me
i'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am i too lost to be saved
am i too lost?
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
(I want to die)
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
my wounds cry for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will i be denied Christ
tourniquet
my suicide
Imaginary
I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clocks screaming
monsters calling my name.
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me.
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story.
In my field of paper flowers.
And candy clouds of lullaby.
I lie inside myself for hours.
And watch my purple sky fly over me.
Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos your reality
I know well what lies beyond my refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape
In my field of paper flowers.
And candy clouds of lullaby.
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby.
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me
Taking Over Me
you don't remember me but i remember you
i lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
but who can decide what they dream?
and dream i do...
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
have you forgotten all i know
and all we had?
you saw me mourning my love for you
and touched my hand...
i knew you loved me then
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me
i look in the mirror and see your face
if i look deep enough
so many things inside that are just like you are taking over
i believe in you
i'll give up everything just to find you
i have to be with you to live to breathe
you're taking over me!!!!
(2x)
you're taking over me....
taking over me!
Hello
playground school bell rings again
rain clouds come to play again
has no one told you she's not breathing?
hello i am your mind giving you someone to talk to
hello
if i smile and don't believe
soon i know i'll wake from this dream
don't try to fix me i'm not broken
hello i am the lie living for you so you can hide
don't cry
suddenly i know i'm not sleeping
hello i'm still here
all that's left of yesterday
My Last Breath
hold on to me love
you know i can't stay long
all i wanted to say was i love you and i'm not afraid
can you hear me?
can you feel me in your arms?
holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
i'll miss the winter
a world of fragile things
look for me in the white forest
hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
i know you hear me
i can taste it in your tears
holding my last breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet raptured light it ends here tonight
closing your eyes to disappear
you pray your dreams will leave you here
but still you wake and know the truth
no one's there
say goodnight
don't be afraid
calling me calling me as you fade to black
Whisper
catch me as i fall
say you're here and it's all over now
speaking to the atmosphere
no one's here and i fall into myself
this truth drives me into madness
i know i can stop the pain if i will it all away
don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)
i'm frightened by what i see
but somehow i know that there's much more to come
immobilized by my fear
and soon to be blinded by tears
i can stop the pain if i will it all away
don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)
fallen angels at my feet
whispered voices at my ear
death before my eyes
lying next to me i fear
she beckons me shall i give in
upon my end shall i begin
forsaking all i've fallen for i rise to meet the end
don't turn away
(don't give in to the pain)
don't try to hide
(though they're screaming your name)
don't close your eyes
(God knows what lies behind them)
don't turn out the light
(never sleep never die)
(3x)
