Waking up to this ache in my head Remembering it all as if it were a dream, but no Such pain can't be dreamed up Emptiness filling me A void growing inside You made sure that I would see All my deepest regrets Now I'm left here to be with this hell of my own alone What is life to you I ask? What is love to you, a mask? Hear the cry hear the wail The surface's breaking as I burn the veil Tired of falling and tired of fighting But I know that it is okay There is no compassion here As long as the poison flows I let it go through me I let myself lay down It's hard to forget, even harder to forgive I don't ever want to become that way, no I won't ever let it go that far But it's hard to keep going with all this going on Trying to turn around but it's too late There's no returning to how it was The fear, the hate, the tears, the wail Oh all the things I'd give to make all of this go away Hate from a life past Kicking in, bringing back the memories from a lifetime ago The fear and the unknowing taking turns moulding me Into something I should not be I'm turning blind in my mind Feel the everlasting loathing Rage manifesting a mind of its own alone I'd thrust a blade through your heart Even if it'd destroy me Through fear and morality That's what you've made of me Alone I know it's up to me to be the better person But you don't ever have to think about it In your mind you've won I can't live within my skin And I can't change the state I'm in What is life to you I ask? What is love to you, a mask? Hear the cry hear the wail The surface's breaking as I burn the veil This I'll do for myself The hardest thing I've done so far Because I know I'm the one standing in my way And when this is all over I'll forge a new life, a new world And set a new path, to to find even a moment of peace Towards happiness Digging deep within Facing myself, my true self Making peace with every inch of me For these memories will never leave There's no choice but to fight to preserve the light Tired of falling and tired of fighting But I know that it is okay There is no compassion here As long as the poison flows I let it go through me I let myself lay down Tired of falling and tired of fighting But I know that it is okay There is no compassion here As long as the poison flows I let it go through me I let myself lay down for a while
