In Regards To MyselfWake up Wake up My God,this is not a test and it’s not too late tocome cleanGet it off your chestSo steady your hand before your face andconcentrateThere’s got to be some stable ground left towalk on
So tear another page from the bookAre you asleep or just aloneClear this room from your lungsand pull yourself together man
On your back, you’re sleeping in a bed ofshameLet the light breathe some new life intothis roomIt’s what keeps you coming backMade up of insatiable tasteBury your head in your hands and sinkinto yourself
Just what are you so afraid ofYou’re staring truth in the face, so come ondown
You’re busy living now aren’t youYou’re busy making vowsYou’re coming ungluedTime is shorter than you knowI know the light is blinding to the nakedeye, so why don’t you take steps away frombeing alone I swear it’s not too late for you
It’s all worth reaching for the hand to pullyou out Wake up and step outside your box Wake up
A MOMENT SUSPENDEDIN TIMEHeld captive, I’m a prisonerIn the back room where the water leaksand I’m oh, so coldCommand me on what to do, but we bothknow neither you or I are in control
There’s nothing left for me hereI’m grabbing on to what’s left of this hole.It’s all too real this can’t be happening
Never again, ever again, will I say I’m OkI’m scared of the fate that will becomemine
No time to talk you know the drill
Under my desk this can’t be itI’m only dreaming, I’ve got to be dreamingBut I can’t get up. No time to talk, not thistime, this is my placeThis is where I arrange
It’s so funny how we see things so clearwhen we have no time left to live
So lay back now and take it inI won’t say a word. I won’t say anything
I can’t believe how it feelsTo stand here in this roomand feel like it’s going to blow
I think we're all going to blow
I’ve got to be dreamingWe've got to be dreamingPlease don’t wake me upThis is the end
THERE COULD BENOTHING AFTER THISIn the end we tend to think of how itbeganI could never explain the picture it painted,and how it made me feelNow the ceiling is in motionThe light centered and overlookedYou want to see me disappear? Well, so do ISuch a quiet evaporation
We’re nothing but hollow vessels in searchof what makes us aliveI never said this was my revolution whenyou looked me in the eyeOh, how I’ve walked this white line somany times beforeWhat a feeble attempt just to feel alive
This is for you and your hopeless caseYou never would leave me in your wish tofail every timeEvery time I try
So talk about itAt least it makes you feel something inside
Who have I becomeOh God, everything all around me iscrumbling at my feet
I stare so delicate and ashamed at the shell I’ve shed myself from
In the eyes of my ghostand I will never look back again
YOU’RE EVER SOINVITINGThe time has come for youto sit this outTo fit inside your moldwould be to sell myself short
This ground we tread uponis now filling up to our necksWe turn the pages left to rightWe see everything
Oh, my story’s growing, it ison my last requestDon’t make me feel so contradictingThere’s no room for cheating and beingyourselfFailure leaves such a bitter taste in theirmouth
And on the last hour we write so many new chapters againAnd on the outsidewhere there are no surprises
Oh, it’s getting longerto see it through their eyeswould bring me so much closerYou can do this night after night
Failure leaves such a bitter taste in mymouth
Taste and see, I swear I know what’s goodBe still and know that they won’t lie to youeverysingle time you’re facing liesI know why you never take your eyes offmeI’ve used my lungs for everything butbreathing
I find myself dried up in this conversationSo pull me out, pull me aside
SALMARNIR
RETURNING EMPTYHANDEDHow peaceful it feels against my faceOh, what a long haulYou brought me here for thisI see nothing but disasterNow I’m taking you with me
A transparent scenery that comes as fast asit leaves
Now my eyes flash with whiteIt’s settling in with all the flickering
Here again
The floor is more fitting for my face
Here again? This is getting old
I am being watchedThis is overwhelmingParanoia...
As you dig your feet in I will sink my teethinto the floor,while I lay here alone
As the light begins to breach the border,while I lay here alone
Aware of every stepI’m not aware at allblack...flash white...I am awake
CASTING SUCH A THINSHADOWSpeak upMy ears are growing wearyI’ll sing this to the endand watch the waves crash over me
Not too much to overcome with enoughtime to turn it all aroundIn a picture perfect scenery I’ve become astick figure illustration
My eyes roll back and focus on what’saheadI can still stand if you lend the hand tobrace me
I’ll take this on my own
MOVING FOR THE SAKEOF MOTIONSomeone please turn the lights back onI’ve been wandering here for days, discon-nected, and in search for new air to breathe in
I don’t think I can fix thisDon’t think I could changeBut that’s the problemWe never speak to HimOur closing walls have caged us inAnd I can’t quite remember
This was the first time I didn’t say enoughThis was the only time I kept it closeenough
Brace yourself! They’re not waking up
Oh, my GodI hate the me that I’ve become,this needy useless forgetting oneTruthfully I can’t be the me that I’vewashed up to be
Don’t stop breathingThe walls have just begun to spinJust let the water calm you this timeIt’s all around you, just open your eyes andtake a lookIt will never kill you; not this time
It’s all around youWe're surrounded for all I careBrace yourself right nowLights out I’m not breathingI can’t keep swimming, can’t keep my headup
WRITING ON THE WALLSMaybe we, Why don’t we sit right here forhalf an hourWe'll speak of what a waste I am and howwe missed your beat again
I swear we need to find some comfort inthis run down placeTo bridge the gap of this conscious statethat we live inI’m short on time
How come you try and fit the shape ofwhat they tell youBut mostly what they show youThat brings us homeI pray for you to move on
At this rate we can’t keep up but I surecan’t just sit stillI’m taking back all the things I saidKeep me filled in, I swear I’ll come
We walk alone back home
You’re almost gone and I’m ok to give youtime to be afraidI still see your shadow but never your faceagainI remember your presence
I hope to God you come downI hope to God you can feel this now
I know there must be some way out ofhere and all of them will be waiting there
EVERYONE LOOKS SOGOOD FROM HEREIn a deep breath it all starts to change.Flip my world inside out, honestly I like itbetter this wayWhen I mesh the night through the backof my eyes
I have put myself hereI’m the culprit I am the culprit
I’ve been swallowed up aliveShut downBuilding from the inside outI can finally walk through the walls
I swear I’ve slipped right through thecracks in the floorIt’s so easy when it’s pulling me under
Now I can see things from the outside, andI will sit here with no place in mind
I can’t escape from this place, this is sounfamiliar to me
I can hear the unsatisfying silenceMy mouth is open but none of you canhear me
TO WHOM IT MAYCONCERNSo hold your head up high and know it’snot the end of the roadWalk down this beaten path before youpack your things and head homeAt the end of the road you’ll find whatyou’ve been longing for
I know ‘cause my feet have the scars toshowI was lost with vague direction and noplace to call home
It’s time for you to press onThis is not your warSet your sights to North and press onThis is not your escapeWash away what they thought of youBecause in this place, we're all as good asdead...end cycle...
Behind the mask you’ll find yourself aloneIt’s not the end of road for you
