Missing

It was just a harmless little fix, that caught me off, I didn't realize.
What happened?

I tried to drown out all the pain. All I wanted was something anything.
Through all the need it’s still the same, and something’s missing.

I’ve tried everything, to see everything, to feel everything, to live it all.
So why am I still here, empty?

So I keep doing what I’ve done. I know it’s not the answer, but I don’t know what else to do.
I tried to drown out all the pain. All I wanted was something anything.
Through all the need it’s still the same, and something’s missing.

I’ve tried everything, to see everything, to feel everything, to live it all.
So why am I still here, empty?
Is there something that’s real? Something that’s real? Give me something that’s real.
I’ve tried everything, to see everything, to feel everything, to live it all. So why am I still here, empty?

It’s been so long, it’s hard to see. Lost here in this dark complacency,
till we can’t see. We don’t even realize; what we’re missing.

Is there something that’s real? Something that’s real? Give me something that’s real.
I’ve tried everything, to see everything, to feel everything, to live it all.
So why am I still here?
I just want something real.
Give me something that's real.
Is there something that's real?

Deeper

Where did I go wrong? What has happened to me?
Why do I still hold on to the one thing that’s killing me.
How could I fall so far, how’d I get in so deep?
I can’t just change this now. It’s a part of me.

How could something so small, get so deep, so
Get so deep inside me.
How could something small, so shallow, consume my whole life now?

In isolation, I fall deeper still.
Though I despise it, I have lost my will.

How could something so small, get so deep, so
Get so deep inside me.
How could something shallow, control my whole life?

Oh please, please help me out of this place.
Oh please, please help me out of this place.

We see, we think, we know how we feel.
What we thought was real just became an empty life.
Everything we hide, we justify. If I could just see things through pure eyes.

All that we know, is all that we see and all that we choose to see, it’s is all we’ll ever know.
Till all we’ve contrived, all we’ve become.
Shatters apart; exposed we see these lies.

If you only know, what waits for you, it can get worse.
If you only knew, what waits for you, it can get worse.

Breathe

I wake up, wanting something more.
These hollow walls and nothing ever fills the need.
Through myself I reach for anything, now all I want, all I want is to breathe.

Everything fades in this yellowish grey. I stagger alone as I seek escape.
If I could just change, if I could just see.
Will you please forgive me?
I want to leave this all behind me.

Back to Lyrics


Clear

The colors grey.
The scars are deep for the life I've made.
These memories, that brought me to this point again.
These open wounds, please help me heal from them.

The colors change.
The sun is on my face, and the shadows fade,
and I remember ..everything.
I’m trying to change.
Take this away. Take this away
Take this all away

I can’t believe; how far off this had taken me.
All I’ve wasted, all the time this has cost me
All of the lies and the anguish this brought me.
Please, don’t let me fall back
From the one thing that’s real; and everything’s clear.

I wish I could say, I was strong enough by myself.
I wish I could say, this was finally all behind me.
I realize now I need you
Don't let me go I will give, what I can.
All I am.

I can’t believe; how far off this had taken me.
All I’ve wasted, all the time this has cost me
All of the lies and the anguish this brought me.
Please, don’t let me fall back
From the one thing that’s real; and everything’s clear.

And I can see.
And I can feel my life again and I am free.
This is worth everything.

(The remaining songs will be added shortly)
