Bewildered by silence
Stuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware
I did not know how cruel that could be
That so many cases will never be solved
That so many stories will never be told
I did not know how cruel that could be
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
If we just fear and don't fight back?
How many questions left unanswered?
How many tears and inner strength shall we need?
How any times can we encounter this again and again?
How many things exist that blind us?
How many forms of brutal violence can we see?
How many images of pain will make us numb
So hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel?
So afraid, even without thecourage of despair?
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
If we just fear and don't fight back?
Afraid of ourselves, arfaid to stand up
I did not know how cruel that could be
We failed to see, we failed to feel
Still afraid, what if you love someone?
What if this happened to your loved ones?
What would you do if you were there at that time?
What makes you act like nothing happened?
Nothing's wrong, you're doing fine?
What makes you think you are immune to this?
What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance?
If judging and accusing is so easy, then why
Why still?
Fighting a war that rages inside
The world can't see the hate that burns in there
How can we face what lies beneath,
it's time to go into the me below
my morbid self beneath
a peril trip the last way out
i spin as i let go
in spirals down the narrow lines
passing through my aura
spit me out into my mind
a journey through disease
i'm behind my cynic eyes
that stare but can not see
the sickness in me ... beneath ...
i fall in untruthful me the essence of
my thoughts
swirling in a thousand vows endless
truthless
what am i this me beneath
a vain organic lie
that rules me from inside
immobile now i bow before reality itself
it's substance moving through my eyes
my life is transferred once suffused upon
my mind the view erases burns inside
and then another fall
i plunge into a well of lies a cold
Instrumental
Rise above the rain,
For all our sins we're not to blame,
This time will pass away not yours or mine.
And what we tried so hard to find,
Is already in our mind.
Stand beneath the sun,
And know that soon our time will come,
And we can be the way we want to be.
The sun will set,
And then the sun will rise,
We watch it pass across the skies,
So beautiful and warm,
Telling time is hard when it rewinds
Painting circles around your crimes
What if I told you to die?
Would you hate me and burn up inside?
No traces, no pictures, no sacred glowing scriptures
So control your chaos, relax and you can save us
Your throne of in just a dirty soul of mistrust
It pushes us down, forces us down
What if it all came crashing down around you?
How will you save yourself?
If you need one more thing to let it live
Just let us think because it's over
So it's fine if you can't define
All the reasons for losing your mind
But if I could turn back the time
I would walk and pretend it's a lie
No faces, no voices, no painted in vein choices
No control, of chaos, a severed screaming circus
No time, no pain
Caused us to run away
What if it all came crashing down around you?
How will you save yourself?
If you need one more thing to let it live
Just let us think because it's over
You're the birthplace of disease
And all it means, forever let to change
What if it all came crashing down around you?
How will you save yourself?
If you need one more thing to let it live
Just let us think because it's over
Over...
Over...
The shadow still remain. Reminds me of the
pain. It's shallow yet it's deep. But it's nothing
The shadow still remain. Reminds me of the
pain. It's shallow yet it's deep. But it's nothing
we can keep
Should the sun hurt my eyes
Then should I close them
Should I seek hide from under
Under soothing rock so heavy
Beneath the world will I hide
till the end
Beneath this soil will I find
A resting place, warm and safe
I would not seek for knowledge
I just long for the silence
Should I long for company
Worms of earth will keep me
Just lay me down
let me be all by myself
sick of listening
to your poisoned words
sick of hearing
of a better way
sick of knowing
what have I done
Bring yourself to see My demise
Bring all you've got, and blame it all on me
for I am here, dying at your feet
Cold dark heart. There's no light. Turning me inside out.
Night besets, sound rolls near. What I've done is what I bear. Deed is done.
Growing. Can't turn back. Near. Beating faster. Growing. Life turns black.
On and on, the torment grows, On and on, but no one knows.
On and on, to live this way. On and on, life slips away.
