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

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
