Lyrics


1. BREATHE AGAIN

Will you take my hand
Pull me through
I’ve tried to stand
Don’t know what to do
I’m on my own

Miserable, numb from pain
Stuck behind, I cannot gain
Is there no way out ?

[Chorus]
We’re falling into misery
Consumed by our inequities
We don’t wanna live alone
So breathe your life into our bones
Blinded by deficiencies
These empty voids are all I see
Hidden in the crevices
There’s a hope to breathe again

I’m a parasite among the dead
The lies I’ve told better left unsaid
This can’t be it
The cycle goes
It never ends
Your words echo inside my head
They capture me

[Chorus]

You say these wounds will only grow
If I don’t stop and let this go
I give to you this withered heart of mine

Mind is racing, can’t erase these
Twisted memories that chase me,
Haunt me, I’m done
I’m lost I’m so far gone
Could there be something more that
We can rely on

[Chorus]


2. DAMAGE

Stay here for a while and tell me
What we’ve done so wrong all this time
Cause all I can recall is how innocent we were

I blocked out the pain and all our mistakes
So I don’t feel a thing
And all I can do is pray for something
Deeper to hold on to

[Chorus]
The damage has been done
Do me a favor, just move on
I wanna feel something that stays
Something more than just my pain
Cause I can’t sit here locked up by myself
Give me a second chance
And I will prove that I won’t fail

Words don’t explain just how I feel
When you’re this far away
When will I ever really let this go?

You drug me to the very bottom of
Your selfish compromise
All I wanna do is pray for something
Deeper to hold on to

[Chorus]

I’d like to find my way back home
Some walks you have to take alone
Don’t need you by my side at all
I’m done, I’m moving on

[Chorus]


3. EMPTY SHADOWS

You need to hold on to something true
The odds are against your every move
Break the chains held over you
Don’t let it go, we’ll make it through

Every day just feels the same
Sick of playing this old game
Will we ever see the light ?
Won’t stop, we will fight

[Chorus]
The voids are closing in on your heart
Take my hand and I’ll pull you through
These empty shadows
Healing will cover all the bleeding
Don’t give in, keep breathing
We’ll make it through these empty shadows

Too weak to move, too tired to speak
Is there someone who can set you free ?
Take the pain from deep inside
I know one day you’ll be alright

Every day just feels the same
Sick of playing this old game
Will we ever see the light ?
Won’t stop, we will fight

[Chorus]

I won’t give up tonight
Won’t you save me ?
Every time I wake up feeling empty
What else can I do ?
I will run to you

[Chorus]


4. HAUNTING ME

I’m so disgusted with myself
I’ll probably never leave this hell
And if I look the other way
I’ll feel so broken, so ashamed

I wanna see with brand new eyes
I hope I make it through the night
I dug myself into this hole
All of these problems getting old

[Chorus]
Is it only sorrow that brings me to my knees ?
Or is there something deep inside that I cannot see ?
I feel so empty without you haunting me
I hope you’ll save me

How did it ever get this way ?
I cannot find the words to say
That I can’t handle all the pain
And that I’d like you to stay

When will this stop ? I feel the burn
It’s just to hard, it’s getting worse
What if I’m ready to give up ?
I guess I never was enough

[Chorus]

And every time I fall I will look your way
And if you’re not there to catch me
I will never be the same
I’m dying to breathe and
I’m living to die
Will you take this heart
And make me feel alive ?

What if I opened up my arms ?
Then would you sew up this heart ?

[Chorus]


5. SERENITY

I can’t breathe
I can’t speak
I can’t leave
Cause you’re still running through these walls
Trapped inside all your broken lies
All the tears
All the pain
You can take
I never wanted it all along
But it’s when you’re gone that it feels so wrong

[Chorus]
This is all we know
I can’t hold on, I can’t let go
I’m stuck inside these memories
And breathing for serenity
I need you most, don’t let go of this rope
Tell me you’ll give up the lies
Love until the day you die

So lost
You’re soul
Stone cold
This world has made you so desperate
But I can’t hate you, can’t escape your touch
Your face
Your taste
It taints all that is true
Can’t get away, won’t be the same without you

[Chorus]

Hold me tight, don’t ever let me go
I’d rather fade and die than have to be alone
After you told me twice, I didn’t want to know
Every breath that I begin to take
Will it be enough, or are we just too late ?
Look into my eyes, the scene if filled with blue
My heart beats fast with every beat for you

[Chorus]
