you say you're not going to fight because no one will fight for you and you think there's not enough love and no one to give it to and you're sure you've hurt for so long you've got nothing left to lose so you say you're not going to fight because no one will fight for you
you say the weight of the world has kept you from letting go and you think compassion's a flaw and you'll never let it show and you're sure you've hurt in a way that no one will ever know but someday the weight of the world will give you strength to go
hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go so hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go so hold on, the weight of the world will give you the strength to go just hold, on the weight of the world will give you the strength to go
i'm stuck in this bed you made
alone with a sinking feeling
i saw through the words you said
to the secrets you've been keeping
it's written upon your face
all the lies how they cut so deeply
you can't get enough you take
and take and take and never say
no
you've gotta get it inside
you push it back down
you push it back down
no
you'll never get it inside
push it back down,
blackout,
blood in your eye
you say that it's not your fault
and swear that i am mistaken
you said it's not what it seems
no remorse for the trust you're breaking
you run but then back you fall
suffocate in the mess you're making
you can't get enough you take
and take and take and take
fuck it are you listening?
no
you've gotta get it inside
you push it back down
you push it back down
no
you'll never get it inside
push it back down
you push it back down
no
you've gotta get it inside
you push it back down
you push it back down
no
you'll never get it inside
push it back down,
blackout,
blood in your eye
floating down
as colors fill the light
we look up from the ground
in fields of paperwhite
and floating up
you pass us in the night
a future gazing out
a past to overwrite
so come down
far below
we've been waiting to collect the things you know
come down
far below
we've been waiting to collect what you've let go
come down 'oh
come down 'oh
come down 'oh
come down 'oh
come down 'oh...
when you were standing in the wake of devastation when you were waiting on the edge of the unknown with the cataclysm raining down, insides crying save me now you were there and possibly alone.
do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up all the failiures all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go.
and in the burst of light that blinded every angel as if the sky had blown the heavens into stars you felt the gravity of temper grace falling into empty space no one there to catch you in there arms
do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up all the failiures all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go.
(multiple voices) do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up all the failiures all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go,
let it go let it go let it go let it go
do you feel cold and lost in desperation you build up all the failiures all you've known remember all the sadness and frustration and let it go, let it go.
this is not the end
this is not the beginning,
just a voice like a riot
rocking every revision
but you listen to the tone
and the violet rhythm
though the words sound steady
something empty's within 'em
we say yeah!
with fists flying up in the air
like we're holding onto something
thats invisible there,
cuz we're living at the mercy of
the pain and the fear
until we dead it, forget it,
let it all dissapear.
waiting for the end to come
wishing i had strength to stand
this is not what i had planned
it's out of my control....
flying at the speed of light
thoughts we're spinning in my head
so many things were left unsaid
it's hard to let you go...
(oh!) i know what it takes to move on,
i know how it feels to lie,
all i wanna do
is trade this life for something new
holding on to what i haven't got
sitting in an empty room
trying to forget the past
this was never meant to last,
i wish it wasn't so...
(oh!) i know what it takes to move on,
i know how it feels to lie,
all i wanna do
is trade this life for something new
holding on to what i haven't got
what was left when that fire was gone?
i thought it felt right but that right was wrong
all caught up in the eye of the storm
and trying to figure out what it's like moving on
and i don't even know what kind of things i've said
my mouth kept moving and my mind went dead
so, picking up the pieces, now where to begin?
the hardest part of ending is starting again!!
all i wanna do
is trade this life for something new
holding on to what i haven't got...
this is not the end
this is not the beginning,
just a voice like a riot
rocking every revision
but you listen to the tone
and the violet rhythm
though the words sound steady
something empty's within 'em
(holding on to what i haven't got)
we say yeah!
with fists flying up in the air
like we're holding onto something
thats invisible there,
coz we're living at the mercy of
the pain and th fear
until we dead it, forget it,
let it all dissapear
(holding on to what i haven't got!)
why does it feel like night today? something in here's not right today why am i so uptight today? paranoia's all i got left i don't know what stressed me first or how the pressure was fed/but i know just what it feels like to have a voice in the back of my head
it's like a face that i hold inside a face that awakes when i close my eyes a face that watches everytime i lie a face that laughs every time i fall (and watches everything) so i know that when it's time to sink or swim the face inside is here in me/right underneath my skin
it's like i'm/paranoid lookin' over my back it's like a/whirlwind inside of my head it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within it's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
i know i've got a face in me points out all the mistakes to me you've got a face on the inside too and your paranoia's probably worse i don't know what set me off first but i know what i can't stand everybody acts like the fact of the matter is i can't add up to what you can but everybody has a face that they hold inside a face that awakes when i close my eyes a face that watches everytime they lie a face that laughs everytime they fall (and watches everything) so you know that when it's time to sink or swim that the face inside is watching you too/right inside your skin
it's like i'm/paranoid lookin' over my back it's like a/whirlwind, inside of my head it's like i/can't stop, what i'm hearing within it's like the face inside is right beneath your skin
it's like i'm/paranoid lookin' over my back it's like a/whirlwind inside of my head it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within it's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
(the face inside is right beneath your skin) (the face inside is right beneath your skin) (the face inside is right beneath your skin)
the sun goes down i feel the light betray me the sun goes down i feel the light betray me
(the sun) it's like i'm/paranoid looking over my back it's like a/whirlwind inside of my head it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within (i feel the light betray me) it's like the face inside is right beneath your skin (the sun) it's like i'm/paranoid looking over my back it's like a/whirlwind inside of my head it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within (i feel the light betray me) it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within it's like i/can't stop what i'm hearing within it's like the face inside is right beneath my skin
