Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near
Fear runs colder than your blood
Spread like poison in your veins
Give me one last heartbeat
Your life will never be the same
This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead, our dead)
This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead)
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near
Fear runs colder than your blood
Spread like poison in your veins
Give me one last heartbeat
Your life will never be the same
This is where you've made your bed
(So sleep, so sleep)
This is where we bury our dead
(Our dead)
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
This is where you've made your bed
(So sleep, so sleep)
This is where we bury our dead
It only gets worse from here
It only gets worse from here
So read the lines that run across my hands
Will I die and have to start again?
I'm not ready, but I'll give in
To pain, and hell I'll descend
Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
Our end is coming near
This is not the end
Don't count down the days in fear
If the fortune's coming true
The end, is here
The last thing you can do
Is close your eyes and pray
That everyone was wrong
That it's just an off day
Hope they read the tarot wrong
The crystal ball was fake
Maybe the teller never told the truth
Cause lying's a piece of cake
Look into my eyes
Read my lips if you can't hear
The prophecy's come true
The end, is here

Let Me In

(Never find a place to call my own)
I walk these stairs with a gun to my head
And I said, and I said
I can't take much more of this,
More of this
I walk these halls and I'm ready to die
Nowhere to go, nothing left inside
Why won't you just let me in,
Let me inside?
The door is locked but these walls are thin
Just let me in, just let me in
Why won't you just let me inside
Of your mind?
I'm reaching out but you're giving in
Just let me help, let it out
I said I'd be here, I never lied
So let me in, just let me inside
I walk these stairs with a gun to my head
And I said, and I said
I can't take much more of this,
More of this
I walk these halls and I'm ready to die
Nowhere to go, nothing left inside
Why won't you just let me in,
Let me inside?
Over these mountains of ice and snow
My feet carry me, no matter where they go
I can never find a place that
I can call my home
I walk these stairs with a gun to my head
And I said, and I said
I can't take much more of this,
More of us
I walk these halls and I'm ready to die
Nowhere to go, nothing left inside
Why won't you just let me in,
Let me inside?
Oh velvet wings and crystal skies
I'd give you anything to stay
Another night
I walk these stairs with a gun to my head
And I said, and I said
Have you ever felt so alone?
(Never find a place to call my own)
The door is locked but these walls are thin
I'll break them down cause your love is poison
Won't you let me in?
Just let me in

My lungs contract
Begging to breathe
I close my eyes
But I can never sleep
Timepieces lose seconds
Visions begin to slow
The sights I see begin to blur
This world I cease to know
Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
Will I walk this road alone?
The sky is falling faster than we've known
And as my world comes crashing down
In ashes I find my heart and home
I'm broken, and the wounds?
I cannot be saved
Take me for granted
Just end my pain
Stitch me
Though your efforts are in vain
Just leave me to die
Or catch a cold from the rain
Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
Will I walk this road alone?
The sky is falling faster than we've known
Why is it, the darkest roads
Are the only ones that bring me home?
Is this the monster, I've become?
Or the man I've been, all along?
I'd die to know what it's like
To feel alive
And I'm so sick of being alone
As much as I'd love to end it all
I pray this emptiness carries me home
I took everything inside my heart
And spilt it out, along the shore
Never once did I question the tides
The ocean told me, I should want more
Waking up, real slow
From a dream I've never had
This nightmare's not
Contained in my head
(This nightmare's not contained in my head)
The sky is falling faster than we've known

Like Leeches

I can't believe I called you my friend
I covered for you
Time and time again
You took my throne
But I'll steal your crown
Built on lies, I'll tear your empire to the ground
All that you owed me
You fucking burned
Not that I expected
For you to return
This isn't over
I'll crush your dreams
Here I am, where you're supposed to be
Life has no place for liars
Trust me one day you will see
I held the keys
You'll come crawling back to me
You took my throne
But I'll steal your crown
Built on lies, I'll tear your empire to the ground
Hard work meant nothing
You fed us all with lies
We'll find our way to the top
Visions of fame in your eyes
You live like leeches
Of energy you drain me
I'm sick and tired of the way you treat me
Hard work meant nothing
You wasted my time
I'm better off without you
And to victory I'll climb
Hard work meant nothing
You wasted my time
I'm better off without you
And to victory I'll climb
This isn't over
I'll crush your dreams
Here I am, where you're supposed to be
Life has no place for liars
Trust me one day you will see
I held the keys
You'll come crawling back to me
You were supposed to be there
My brother 'till the end
Turns out you were so full of shit
What a crummy friend
Out of everything inside
There's one thing I want to say
Fuck you
You are the enemy

These stormy skies
And ocean blue
It was the waves
That tore me from you
I'm on my own
I can't conquer these waves
And the depth of the ocean grew
So I need them, I need them
To bring me back to you
I'm on my own
I'm on my own
Where the sky meets the water
That's where you'll find me
Swimming slowly sinking
Waiting for you
Where the sky meets the water
I'll be buried at sea
Maybe, these waves will bring you back to me
When the sky meets the water
Then I'll learn to swim
Until then I'll count my breaths like bittersweet blessings
And I shall not rest until a piece of me is no longer missing
Where the sky meets the water
That's where you'll find me
Swimming slowly sinking
Waiting for you
I'm a sailor of these open waters
Stranded with no crew
This shipwrecked heart
These blackened bones
The tide's too low
To come home to you
I'm all alone
Where the sky meets the water
That's where you'll find me
Swimming slowly sinking
Waiting for you
Where the sky meets the water
I'll be buried at sea
Maybe, these waves will bring you back to me
When the sky meets the water
Then I'll learn to swim
Until then I'll count my breaths like bittersweet blessings
And I shall not rest until a piece of me is no longer missing
Where the sky meets the water
That's where you'll find me
Swimming slowly sinking
Waiting for you
Where the sky meets the water
That's where you'll find me
Swimming slowly sinking
Waiting for you
Where the sky meets the water
I'll be buried at sea
Drifting, floating endlessly
On this horizon

Reharvest this energy from my body
And send it back to the sun
Allow me to leave this vessel empty
In the hopes that my soul can be born again
Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy?
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Don't tell me, because I know
I'm sorry I ever woke up
I'm afraid to go to sleep
Cause everything I've ever known
Lies broken, forced to defeat
I'm the skeleton in your closet
And the monster under your bed
Why would you act so fucking ashamed
If it's fear you're feeling instead?
I'm sorry I ever woke up
I'm afraid to go to sleep
Cause everything I've ever known
Lies broken, forced to defeat
Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy?
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Don't tell me, because I know
Life doesn't get easier
And depression never leaves
Every day we carry on
Longer nights and longer sleeves
The winner?
My demons by default
Cause I surrender
The winner?
My demons by default
This anxiety is eating me alive
I want to die
I want to die
Once it's bonded to your soul
Once you've both crossed paths
It always comes back
It always comes back
I'm the skeleton in your closet
And the monster under your bed
Why would you act so fucking ashamed
If it's fear you're feeling instead?
Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy
Life doesn't get eaiser
And depression never leaves
Every day we carry on
(Every day we carry on)
Every day we carry on
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
I will rise again
