1. AWAY FROM ME

I hold my breath as this life starts to take its toll
I hide behind a smile as this perfect plan unfolds
But oh God I feel I've been lied to
Lost all faith in the things I have achieved

[Chorus]
I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from this place I have made
Won't you take me away from me?

Crawling through this world as disease flows through my veins
I look into myself but my own heart has been changed
I can't go on like this
I loathe all I've become

[Chorus]

Lost in a dying world I reach for something more
I have grown so weary of this lie I live

I've woken now to find myself
In the shadows of all I have created
I'm longing to be lost in you
I have woken now to find myself
I'm lost in shadows of my own
I'm longing to be lost in you
Away from me


2. BLEED

How can I pretend that I don't see
What you hide so carelessly?
I saw her bleed
You heard me breathe
And I froze inside myself and turned away
I must be dreaming

[Pre-Chorus]
We all live
We all die
That does not begin to justify you

[Chorus]
It's not what it seems
Not what you think
No - I must be dreaming
It's only in my mind
Not the real life
No - I must be dreaming

Help - You know I've got to tell someone
Tell them what I know you've done
I fear you
But spoken fears can come true

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Not what it seems
Not what you think
I must be dreaming
Just in my mind
Not the real life
I must be dreaming


3. ANYTHING FOR YOU

I'd give anything to give me to you
Can you forget the world that you thought you knew?

If you want me
Come and find me
Nothing's stopping you
So please release me

[Chorus]
I'll believe all your lies
Just pretend you love me
Make believe - Close your eyes
I'll be anything for you

Nothing left to make me feel anymore
There's only you and everyday I need more

If you want me
Come and find me
I'll do anything you say
Just tell me

[Chorus](x2)

Anything for you

I'll become your earth and sky
Forever never die
I'll be
Everything you need

[Chorus](x2)


4. FOREVER YOU

I wanted you to be with me
For so long I don't even know why now
But now that I've given up on you
Defiantly you see me

[Chorus 1]
Walking away I see the pain
You put me through - I see through you
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone - Forever you

There's something very wrong about this
I think you knew all along somehow
You'll only take me to change my mind
And leave me broken and defeated

[Chorus 2]
So far away I see the truth
I see through you - I see through you
Now that I know the way you play
I don't want to

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

Walking away I see the pain
You put me through
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone - Forever you


5. BEFORE THE DAWN

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you
I want nothing more than to see you there

[Chorus]
And maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn

If only night could hold you where I can see you - My love
Then let me never ever wake again

[Chorus]

Somehow I know that we can't wake again from this dream
It's not real but it's ours

(x2)
Maybe tonight
We'll fly so far away
We'll be lost before the dawn


6. SURRENDER

Is this real enough for you?
You were so confused
Now that you've decided to stay
We'll remain together

[Pre-Chorus]
You can't abandon me
You belong to me

[Chorus]
Breathe in and take my life in you
No longer myself - Only you
There's no escaping me - My love
Surrender

Darling - There's no sense in running
You know I will find you
Everything is perfect now
We can live forever

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Hands up slowly
Give into

[Chorus]

Surrender (x)

You will surrender to me
There's no escaping from me
My love will hold you to me
You must surrender to me


7. IT WAS ALL A LIE

Bind my limbs with fear
Choke me with tears
I won't die for you
You've been here before
And come back for more
But not this time

[Pre-Chorus]
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

[Chorus]
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie

Now I know the truth
I'm through fearing you
And I am free

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie

Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie


8. BREATHE NO MORE

I've been looking in the mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side
All the little pieces falling shatter
Shards of me too sharp to put back together
Too small to matter
But big enough to cut me
Into so many little pieces
If I try to touch her

And I bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe no more

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child
Lie to me - Convince me that I've been sick forever
And all of this will make sense when I get better
But I know the difference
Between myself and my reflection
I just can't help but to wonder
Which of us do you love?

So I bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe - No
Bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe - I breathe
I breathe no more


9. EXODUS

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

[Chorus]
Here in the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost - I'm just alone
But I won't cry - I won't give up - I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

[Chorus]

In the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay here - Oh
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes


10. OCTOBER

I can't run anymore -I fall before you
Here I am - I have nothing left
Though I've tried to forget -You're all that I am
Take me home - I'm through fighting it
Broken - Lifeless
I give up - You're my only strength
Without you - I can't go on
Anymore - Ever again

[Chorus]
My only hope - All the times I've tried
My only peace - To walk away from you
My only joy - My only strength
My only power - I fall into your abounding grace
My only life - And love is where I am
My only love

I can't run anymore - I give myself to you
I'm sorry - I'm sorry
In all my bitterness - I ignored
All that's real and true - All I need is you
When night falls on me - I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive - And you're too strong
I can't lie anymore - I fall down before you
I'm sorry - I'm sorry

[Chorus]

Constantly ignoring
The pain consuming me
But this time - It's cut too deep
I'll never stray again

[Chorus](x2)


11. GOODNIGHT

Goodnight
Sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning
I'll be here

And when we say goodnight
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight
And not goodbye

We said goodnight
And not goodbye


BONUSTRACK


12. MY IMMORTAL (ACOUSTIC)

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

[Pre-Chorus]
These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much the 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 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

[Pre-Chorus]

[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]
