Another night turns into day
The wicked moon chasing shadows away
Darkness frays to the light of the sun
You can't repay, the damage is done
You lose your fear of the passing night
Of lurking shadows waiting to bite
And when the night falls you beware
You'll never know what's lurking there
Oh no
The wicked night starts to fall
Stealing the day
You'll go and lose all of your fears
And chase the shadows away
When the night falls
When the night starts to fall
When the night falls
You run through murky fog late at night
No where to run , no where in sight
Vengeance is calling, can't you hear the scream
Or are you living your life as a dream.
You lose your fear of the passing night
Of lurking shadows waiting to bite
And when the night falls you beware
You'll never know what's lurking there
Oh no
The wicked night starts to fall
Stealing the day
You'll go and lose all of your fears
And chase the shadows away
When the night falls
When the night starts to fall
When the night falls
You lose your fear of the passing night
Of lurking shadows waiting to bite
And when the night falls you beware
You'll never know what's lurking there
Oh no
The wicked night starts to fall
Stealing the day
You'll go and lose all of your fears
And chase the shadows away
When the night falls
When the night starts to fall
When the night falls

Buried Alive
Come on in welcome to this reality
I dig for fun, falling down constantly
This shovel guides what it shall will to be
Your hypocrisy is so much more than that
Living within these walls I cannot breathe
Don't understand me?
Still don't ask me why
I can make it alone
Keep your hands away
This hole is my home
You don't have to stay
I'm buried alive..... buried alive.......
buried alive
Watch yourself as you're trying to deceive
I don't need, I don't want, don't need anything
There's something about your inverted point of view
That makes me blind, I do not trust you
What is it that you're wanting me to become
Insulting everything I am
I can make it alone
Keep your hands away
This hole is my home
You don't have to stay
I'm buried alive..... buried alive.......
buried alive
Overwhelmed I hope you get your fill
Control failing, falling away again
Visions within my sober insanity
Feeding nothing, I can't see past my soul
Venture here within my grasp, but beware
Beware my downward pull
I can make it alone
Keep your hands away
This hole is my home
You don't have to stay
I'm buried alive..... buried alive.......
buried alive
Weighed down before the sun has ever shone before my face
I can’t seem to escape this race, it’s everything
I fear the walls are crumbling around me now, I’m falling down
I’m on the floor again, I can’t seem to get control again
I’m falling back upon my face, this is the place that I’ll stay
This is the place I will be forever more
I’m losing control of my mind, I cannot take it all the time
I’m Buried Alive
I can make it alone
Keep your hands away
This hole is my home
You don't have to stay
I'm buried alive..... buried alive.......
buried alive

Reflection of Me
Open up the door, step into the light , it's a brand new day
When the morning sun comes across your face, what have you to say
Where were you last night, did you have a fight, why are your hands stained
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
Why won't it wash away, words are not complete, face is turning white
If you want my help, get a hold of what's wrong, get hold of what's right
Now let's try again, look at me my friend, where were you last night
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
Did you see the news, it was a massacre, scattered memories flee
I feel strange today, not thinking straight, and my hands won't come clean
Do you think, no you don't, how could you, you're just a reflection of me
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
When the morning sun comes across your face, what have you to say
Where were you last night, did you have a fight, why are your hands stained
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
Why won't it wash away, words are not complete, face is turning white
If you want my help, get a hold of what's wrong, get hold of what's right
Now let's try again, look at me my friend, where were you last night
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
Did you see the news, it was a massacre, scattered memories flee
I feel strange today, not thinking straight, and my hands won't come clean
Do you think, no you don't, how could you, you're just a reflection of me
When you hear the call
You lose control
You give in
Just don't let go of yourself my friend
When the darkness calls again
No Regret
I used to have to try so hard
Just to be understood when I would speak
Its so frustrating I can't see
Why this life should be so damn sad and lonely
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But I can not break free
This world has all but chained my unbreakable soul
It seems my struggle will not end
I must continue to be fortified
I want so badly to give up
It'd be too easy just to forget it all
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But I can not break free
This world has all but chained my unbreakable soul
Now everything just seems to be
So complete I've never felt like this before
And you are with me as I wake
My dreams have become reality
Am I awake
Am I asleep
Why can I not decide
It doesn't matter anymore
Do what you want to do
Regret what you've done wrong
Not what you haven't done at all
This life is all we have but that is enough
Yeah that is enough
I used to have to try so hard
But now I can see
That I'm gonna make it
And you're gonna make it
We're gonna make it after all
We'rr gonna make it after all
Just to be understood when I would speak
Its so frustrating I can't see
Why this life should be so damn sad and lonely
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But I can not break free
This world has all but chained my unbreakable soul
It seems my struggle will not end
I must continue to be fortified
I want so badly to give up
It'd be too easy just to forget it all
I close my eyes
I try to sleep
But I can not break free
This world has all but chained my unbreakable soul
Now everything just seems to be
So complete I've never felt like this before
And you are with me as I wake
My dreams have become reality
Am I awake
Am I asleep
Why can I not decide
It doesn't matter anymore
Do what you want to do
Regret what you've done wrong
Not what you haven't done at all
This life is all we have but that is enough
Yeah that is enough
I used to have to try so hard
But now I can see
That I'm gonna make it
And you're gonna make it
We're gonna make it after all
We'rr gonna make it after all
Fragments
Blinded by my ignorance again
Don't get too close you might just fall in
Curiously chasing random thoughts
Imaging nonsense stumbles into my response
Tell me why should I open my mind
Fold into this, don't fade away
There must be something real
For now it is
But why not this
Forgotten path forged yesterday
Languishing walls stricken by pain
One more round exchanges words for fun
Never over understanding whats been done
Tell me why should I open my mind
Fold into this, don't fade away
There must be something real
For now it is
But why not this
Reactions lost often from here
The clouded intentions remain wrapped in fear
Slowly reaching out to lock another door
Some time later ambushed by the floor
Tell me why should I open my mind
Fold into this, don't fade away
There must be something real
For now it is
But why not this
Fragments now falling upside down
Spirals spinning I can't seem to find the ground
Won't give in, I can not see, my eyes are broken
Fade into this before my silent words are spoken
Tell me why should I open my mind
Fold into this, don't fade away
There must be something real
For now it is
But why not this
Tell me why should I open my mind
Fold into this, don't fade away
There must be something real
For now it is
But why not this
Just Fragments
Don't get too close you might just fall in

Sleepless
Girl when you close your eyes what do you want to see
Every time you open them back up to look at me
No matter how wild they seem, your dreams, they can come true
There is no limit to the things that I can do
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And you may never know
Just how it feels to be
Where I have found inside myself
The concrete walls have fallen down around your feet
These bricks are under your spell for eternity
So when you pick them up don't build another wall
You'll just be setting yourself up for another fall
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And you may never know
Just how it feels to be
Where I have found inside myself
Girl when you close your eyes what do you want to see
Every time you open them back up to look at me
Dream up something wild that will get you through the night
And when you wake up wake me too and show me why
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And now it seems to me
That you can finally see
Where I have been for all this time
The sky is bluer in the morning sunrise
The trees are fullest when they're right outside the window
And now it seems to me
That you can finally see
Where I have been for all this time
Every time you open them back up to look at me
No matter how wild they seem, your dreams, they can come true
There is no limit to the things that I can do
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And you may never know
Just how it feels to be
Where I have found inside myself
The concrete walls have fallen down around your feet
These bricks are under your spell for eternity
So when you pick them up don't build another wall
You'll just be setting yourself up for another fall
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And you may never know
Just how it feels to be
Where I have found inside myself
Girl when you close your eyes what do you want to see
Every time you open them back up to look at me
Dream up something wild that will get you through the night
And when you wake up wake me too and show me why
The sky is bluer in the darkness
The trees are fullest when we don't know where they are
And now it seems to me
That you can finally see
Where I have been for all this time
The sky is bluer in the morning sunrise
The trees are fullest when they're right outside the window
And now it seems to me
That you can finally see
Where I have been for all this time
My Condition
As I sit down with my mind
My thoughts are intertwined
With my memories of you
But that doesn't seem possible
How can that even be true
We just met today
Now another day has passed
And it seemed to go too fast
I could have spent the whole night through
Just staring in your eyes
I got lost in happiness
With you
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
Now it's been not yet one week
And I'm consumed completely
With my inspiration from you
Our worlds are somehow identical
Some things are meant to be
Now it seems that I'm not the only one
That matters to me
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
My thoughts are intertwined
With my memories of you
But that doesn't seem possible
How can that even be true
We just met today
Now another day has passed
And it seemed to go too fast
I could have spent the whole night through
Just staring in your eyes
I got lost in happiness
With you
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
Now it's been not yet one week
And I'm consumed completely
With my inspiration from you
Our worlds are somehow identical
Some things are meant to be
Now it seems that I'm not the only one
That matters to me
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
Why am I so damn scared of what it is that I am feeling
I've wished for this condition for oh so long
My head is spinning I can't remember just how long it has been
Oh yeah, that's right we just met yesterday
Have You Ever
Have you ever had a dream
A dream so real that it just might be
Nothing more than a day gone by
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake.... again
Have you ever Loved someone
And you hoped that someday your turn would come
And you'd feel the twilight swallow the sun
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake
Have you ever had a dream
Watched the sunrise
What the hell does it mean
Life's too short to let go of anything
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
Does it even really matter
Life becomes whatever you make of it
A dream so real that it just might be
Nothing more than a day gone by
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake.... again
Have you ever Loved someone
And you hoped that someday your turn would come
And you'd feel the twilight swallow the sun
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake
Have you ever had a dream
Watched the sunrise
What the hell does it mean
Life's too short to let go of anything
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
What if you could dream forever
What if you could never wake
And you wonder if you've ever
Ever really been awake
Does it even really matter
Life becomes whatever you make of it
Silence
Silent teardrops streaming down my face
I can't help but think about you
Animosity is what remains of the reality that I once knew
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
Tossing and turning
Dreaming awake
Why won't the moon just go away
So much life, noise, and smiles
To mask this overwhelming heartache
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
Music inside no longer matters
For the purpose of life is to love
Maybe I'll give it just one more try
Before I rest above
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
And now.....
All I hear is silence
I can't help but think about you
Animosity is what remains of the reality that I once knew
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
Tossing and turning
Dreaming awake
Why won't the moon just go away
So much life, noise, and smiles
To mask this overwhelming heartache
Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry

For the purpose of life is to love

Can't you feel the passion
Lightning crashing down
Not just pain and sorrow weeping
Screaming lonely echos
Please don't watch me cry
Seems like only yesterday
That we were so alive
And now
All I hear is silence
And now.....
All I hear is silence
Echos
Silence falls upon the midnight hour
As the chimes fade away
My mind had left me all alone again
Wandering around the desolate highway
There isn't much left in this life for me
Watching children die outside the window
I can't see past my own reflection anymore
And now I wonder if I'll ever find my way back to the place where I began
The place that I call home
Staggering around an empty hallway
At the door I hear a knocking
I will not open it again
Can you feel the pain inside my weary head
I don't want you
I don't need you anymore
Why do I feel so damn empty when I think about where i would be
If I still had you
Total stranger in my life has found a voice
That voice is calling out your name
You aim to pierce right through the skin
And in my heart I feel you pulling me apart
Once again
The silence fills the void where I once knew that you existed
I want to fi8ll it up with your sweet love
I long to hear your voice so clear
I use to hear it everyday
Come back to me
Silence falls upon the midnight hour again
As the chimes fade away
My mind had left me all alone again
Wandering around the desolate highway
There isn't much left in this life for me
Watching children die outside the window
I can't see past my own reflection anymore
And now I wonder if I'll ever find my way back to the place where I began
The place that I call home
Staggering around an empty hallway
At the door I hear a knocking
I will not open it again
Can you feel the pain inside my weary head
I don't want you
I don't need you anymore
Why do I feel so damn empty when I think about where i would be
If I still had you
Total stranger in my life has found a voice
That voice is calling out your name
You aim to pierce right through the skin
And in my heart I feel you pulling me apart
Once again
The silence fills the void where I once knew that you existed
I want to fi8ll it up with your sweet love
I long to hear your voice so clear
I use to hear it everyday
Come back to me
Silence falls upon the midnight hour again
Ten Thousand Voices
If I dare to close my eyes
I might just realize ten thousand voices
In my head screaming at me
One of these days I might confuse those voices with my own
So for the sake of sanity I open my eyes
When the darkness reaches for me
I rise unto my feet
I must fight a little longer
The dawn is drawing near
As the night has turned to day
It seems the terror is contained
At least for now the sun will fight
We're all at war inside this box that we call life
Why won't it open up for me
Why won't it open up for you
Open up for everyone
When the darkness reaches for you
Can you get away from it
There is no answer to that question
Until time has turned away
My words are so damn clustered
I can't help but wonder if I'm making sense at all
Or am I drowning, why am I wet
I close my eyes ten thousand voices screaming at me
You're not dead, get up and finish out the fight
The dark does not waste time, this time
My actions are no longer mine
My will is useless now, completely
I can't open my eyes
I can not open my eyes
I might just realize ten thousand voices
In my head screaming at me
One of these days I might confuse those voices with my own
So for the sake of sanity I open my eyes
When the darkness reaches for me
I rise unto my feet
I must fight a little longer
The dawn is drawing near
As the night has turned to day
It seems the terror is contained
At least for now the sun will fight
We're all at war inside this box that we call life
Why won't it open up for me
Why won't it open up for you
Open up for everyone
When the darkness reaches for you
Can you get away from it
There is no answer to that question
Until time has turned away
My words are so damn clustered
I can't help but wonder if I'm making sense at all
Or am I drowning, why am I wet
I close my eyes ten thousand voices screaming at me
You're not dead, get up and finish out the fight
The dark does not waste time, this time
My actions are no longer mine
My will is useless now, completely
I can't open my eyes
I can not open my eyes
Forgotten Shadows
Suddenly forgotten everything that I know
Shadows chasing reflections of you
Out of my control now just out of my reach
Just like a secret that no one could keep
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Reminders of life now crowd the doors in my brain
So much stirring, silenced, which open vein
Drained of yet another day, giving in
In response maybe I'll pick up my pen
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Slowing down these voices that reside inside of me
I can't grasp control, would you get it for me please
Point me to the door 'cause they like it when I write
Sometimes they even let me sleep at night
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Shadows chasing reflections of you
Out of my control now just out of my reach
Just like a secret that no one could keep
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Reminders of life now crowd the doors in my brain
So much stirring, silenced, which open vein
Drained of yet another day, giving in
In response maybe I'll pick up my pen
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Slowing down these voices that reside inside of me
I can't grasp control, would you get it for me please
Point me to the door 'cause they like it when I write
Sometimes they even let me sleep at night
Now I'm falling farther from myself
No one ever recognizes hell
Now reach for reality
Reach until you think you can feel
Or can't that be found
Suffocate
In the shelter of the night
That's where I long to be
Forbidden but still bought
I can't find my sanity
And I've already spent my tortured soul
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Just suffocate
As the terror grabs a hold
Scream echo through the street
Now my rage must carry on
And I must bring just what I need
But the mirror tells me that there's no time
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Just suffocate
Then the sun begins to fade
Into existence I forgot
With my mind I am still free
And my dreams shall not be lost
Until I've drowned in my
In my own fears
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
That's where I long to be
Forbidden but still bought
I can't find my sanity
And I've already spent my tortured soul
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Just suffocate
As the terror grabs a hold
Scream echo through the street
Now my rage must carry on
And I must bring just what I need
But the mirror tells me that there's no time
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
Just suffocate
Then the sun begins to fade
Into existence I forgot
With my mind I am still free
And my dreams shall not be lost
Until I've drowned in my
In my own fears
Now I have found
That the air you breathe is choking me
Although you don't even know how
You can still escape
