Les paroles


1. 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 want your hand this time I'll save myself
Maybe I'll 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
I'm...

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

[Chorus]

I'm going under

I'm going under


2. BRING ME TO LIFE

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.
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.
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.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to life.

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 1000 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.

[Chorus]

Bring me to life.
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside.

Bring me to life


3. 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
Have you no shame, don't you see me
You know you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask
Where will you hide?
Can't find yourself,
Lost in your lies

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.

Never was and never will be
you're not real & you can't save me
And somehow now you're everybody's fool.


4. 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

[Chorus:]
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
But 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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]


5. HAUNTED

Long lost words, whisper slowey, to me.
Still can't find what keeps me here.
And all this time I've been so hollow, inside,
(I know your 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 !

Wanting me,
Watching 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 won't let you pull me down.
Watching me,
Wanting me,
I can feel you pull me down.
Fearing you,
Loving you,
I won't let you pull me down.


6. 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.

(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.



7. IMAGINARY

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock 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

[Chorus:]
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 sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Ooooh paper flowers
Ooooh, paper flowers


8. 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

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

Taking over me


9. HELLO

Playground schoolbell rings, again
Rainclouds come to play, again
Has no one told you she's not breathing ?
Hello, I'm 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'm 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...


10. 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.

(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself
(calling me) Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light,
It ends here tonight.

[Chorus]


11. 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
if i will it all away

[Chorus:]
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
if i will it all away

[Chorus]

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 my end

[Chorus]

Don't turn away
Don't try to to hide
Don't close your eyes
Don't turn out the light
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum
