Bury Me Alive

Theres no use in crying All my tears wont drown my pain Free me from your sorrow I cant grieve you again I watched you let yourself die And now its too late to save you this time You bury me alive Everybodys gotta breathe somehow Dont leave me die Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies All I did was love you Now I hate the nightmare youve become I cant let you fool me I wont need you again I watched you let yourself die And now its too late to save you this time You bury me alive Everybodys gotta breathe somehow Dont leave me die Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies Make me feel this love we used to hold All I see is black and cold As I try to pull you down Into the ground Everybodys gotta breathe somehow Dont leave me die Youre too consumed by your own emptiness and lies You bury me alive Everybodys gotta breathe somehow Dont leave me die Too consumed by your own emptiness and lies

Id give it all away to be with you My hearts waiting and breaking to return To burn with you tonight Hating all I am when lying by your side Taking everything of me To leave only nothing I hold secrets only dreaming eyes can see Night time sanctuary seeks The pain of the living Shadows pulling me to lie with you When the moonlight sings The darkness brings me back to die with you Id give it all away to be with you My hearts waiting and breaking to return To burn with you tonight Lay down your life Only for you Forsake the light All I see is you Forever night Live just to die for you Shadows pulling me to lie with you When the moonlight sings The darkness brings me back to die with you Id give it all away to be with you My hearts waiting and breaking to return To burn with you tonight

Perfect sky Shadowed by my lies Good enough but always wanting more I replaced all your love with pain So afraid to face the world alone My paradigm My sweet love I breath My paradigm My sweet love I breath Its you I rely on Shelter me from cold Im dying paradigm

Cause you see the shelter as the storm Holding wind to keep you warm You were everything to me This is why I have to leave So sleep well my angel Under the ash and the lies Something beautiful once here now dies And the tears burn my eyes As you sit there all alone I just wanna come home But you see the shelter as the storm Holding wind to keep you warm You were everything to me This is why I have to leave So sleep well my angel Sleep well my angel Im sorry Im sorry Im sorry Im sorry You see the shelter as the storm Holding wind to keep you warm You were everything to me This is why You see the shelter as the storm Holding wind to keep you warm You were everything to me This is why I have to leave So sleep well my angel Sleep well my angel

dont leAve Me Behind

It wont go away These aching memories still dance around me Spilling over everything with beauty I see your face in everything before me Your voice is haunting me I belong with you now Oh please give into me And stay forever Oh dont leave me behind So afraid of dreaming The story is repeating Screaming, monsters and bleeding Im loosing light in myself Come back into me Cause only you can save me I belong with you now Oh please give into me And stay forever Oh dont leave me behind I belong with you now Oh please give into me And stay forever Oh dont leave me behind

Falling to my knees before you So ashamed to see my weakness fill your eyes Needlessly I let myself stray before you Now I face the consequence of my betrayal My paradigm My sweet love I breath Its you I rely on Shelter me from cold Im dying paradigm Do we sacrifice, let our story die Blissful lullabies return again Let me stay a while, let love survive Delicately crawling to your grace My paradigm My sweet love I breath Its you I rely on Shelter me from cold Im dying paradigm

PArAdigM

through hell

Are we alone Is there more then we believe in Haunting these walls Shadows crawling out reveling Fear in me Stays in me The nightmares inside here My dark fears all in my head again The nightmares I fight here All my tears pull me through hell again I wake in the night And I pray that ive been dreaming Theres nowhere to hide From this nightmare calling to me

Burn

I can feel your fingers When i close my eyes Take your poison love inside I fall into dreaming Ive been waiting for your touch to bring me home Sleeping death will come and lead me out of the sunlight Shadows pulling me to lie with you When the moonlight sings The darkness brings me back to die with you

SleeP Well My Angel

Watching you sleep for so long Knowing that I cant turn the rain into sun anymore Ive given you all that I am Now I stand here too scared to hold your hand Afraid you might wake to see The monster that had to leave

Fear in me Stays in me The nightmares inside here My dark fears all in my head again The nightmares I fight here All my tears pull me through hell again The nightmares inside here My dark fears all in my head again The nightmares I fight here All my tears pull me through hell again The nightmares inside here My dark fears all in my head again The nightmares I fight here All my tears pull me through hell again

Oh I let you go to feel the light outside Oh I without you I just feel I just feel so alive I can define where the well ran dry I remember every tear I cried Memories of lies, wasted all this time Now weve lost it all Oh I let you go to feel the light outside Oh I without you I just feel so alive There must be more to life Then I just left behind Oh I without you I just feel I just feel so alive I step into the sunlight Fueled by rage and delight Theres no place for weakness Ill forget your sweet kiss Oh I let you go to feel the light outside Oh I without you i just feel so alive There must be more to life Then I just left behind Oh I without you I just feel I just feel so alive

Wont let you destroy my faith again All my questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my questions have no answers I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight Forgive me With wings adorn me So I can fly All my questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my questions have no answer I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight

Ever after never came And Im still waiting for my heart to beat again And all the dreams Ive laid to rest Are ghosts that keep me After all that Ive become I am only one I am only one I am only one

teAr the World doWn

i Will StAy

I fold another day Lose another chance to break away From all I cannot bare I suffer through the shame Wishing hope would just abandon me Till this is over My loveless light Im lost in you tonight Waiting for you to turn around Only to tear the whole world down Time and time again I take it all and take the fall for you Fear is all I hold Bound and beaten down All the pain I cant escape today Is always with me My loveless light Im lost in you tonight Waiting for you to turn around Only to tear the whole world down My darkest night Your arms that hold me tight Waiting for you to turn around Only to tear the whole world down All my love is lost All my hope is gone All my love is lost All my hope is gone My loveless light Im lost in you tonight Waiting for you to turn around Only to tear the whole world down My darkest night Your arms that hold me tight Waiting for you to turn around Only to tear the whole world down Ill tear the world down

Tonight Im without you The raindrops are falling With candle light burning For you Ill be waiting here If all of our days have no more light And all of our dreams are lost tonight The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey I will stay Graceful and loving Beautiful and soothing Cant breath without you Theres no life without you here If all of our days have no more light And all of our dreams are lost tonight The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey I will stay If all of our days have no more light And all of our dreams are lost tonight The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey If all of our days have turned to night And all of our dreams are lost and lies The stars can all fall and everything turn to grey I will stay

i AM only one

Memories fade into the silence Haunting me tonight With hopes last breath I take this moment in It will be the last That morning breaks And sunlight takes the pain away Ever after never came And Im still waiting for a life that never was And all the dreams I lay to rest Are ghosts that keep me After all that Ive become I am only one I close my eyes and bleed this empty heart Of all that longs to die When faces lie and love will falter Im left with only time And time will break The dreams that take the pain away Ever after never came And Im still waiting for a love Ill never have And all the dreams I lay to rest Are ghosts that keep me After all that Ive become I am only one Im on my own here And no ones left to be the hero of This fairy tale gone wrong As night will fall my heart will die alone

St John

This night is alive with the smell of insane Its reaching for me and its calling my name I beg for silence to drown out their weep How did this asylum become where I sleep So ashamed of waking All my life you failed to keep me safe My whole worlds forsaken Wont let you destroy my faith again All my questions get no answers Locked up tight from the world outside me Mommy come get me out tonight All my questions have no answers I can feel the fear inside me Mommy come get me out tonight So close i almost could taste my own grave My moment of selfishness caused by your pain Almost threw this life you gave me away In this institution for you now I pray So ashamed of waking All my life you failed to keep me safe My whole worlds forsaken

Without you

Do you see me, I stand before your eyes Here in pieces, let me in your mind When did love fade, why are we at war Where did we fall, where did we go wrong Have we lost it all
