let’s get this over … let’s get this over … with loaded … crowned sharpened to a point keep my weighted … down to the ground you know this weakness (i’m) hoping against hope (break) out of this prison it matters not all my life is sacrificed to faces like my own you are lying you’re alive don’t you know you died long before it hurt Don’t you know you came here expecting to shine open your eyes the burden you carry is mine FEEL THE SKY is this what growing older means i’ll pass the opportunity forcibly taken on a life of his own i’ll never follow you home … let me die i won’t say it again let me die come and stay till the end (let me die) it’s been over it’s been over – from before you were born (let me die) it’s been over it’s been over – from the calm to the storm  me – you – from beginning to end me – you – and i called you my friend FEEL THE WEIGHT SHIFT SEE THE VEIL LIFT let’s get it over with calm is my only bliss silence my thoughts you know this weakness (you’re) hoping against hope (break) out of this prison you never knew all my life is sacrificed to faces like my own you are lying you’re alive don’t you know you died long before it hurt Don’t you know this is my life, long escaping my own fantasies now freely taken on a life on my own don’t wait for me SHIFT THE WEIGHT LIFT THE VEIL OPEN MY EYES

growing silence, soothing lullaby sudden violence, burning rage inside how eyes hurt loathing openly this belligerence lost in reverie vain indifference my eyes hurt dirt struck at my mask ( … you gods, you fools, you can’t) no, it comes undone ( … my gods, my fools, i can’t) no, it can’t be gone without it wounded, broken hiding-place blushing bruises, no one, no embrace how eyes hurt loathing openly this belligerence lost in reverie vain indifference my eyes hurt my pride, in vain my mind, insane my life, broken and scarred don’t leave me now i was the first to call my name showing it off and playing my game these ruins are mine to rebuild don’t leave me now my pride – MIRROR MIRROR BURN i need to disguise me But still i despise me ( … you gods, you fools, you can’t) no, it comes undone ( … my gods, my fools, i can’t) no, it can’t be gone my pride, in vain my mind, insane my life, broken and scarred don’t leave me now i was the first to call my name i was the first to play this game these ruins are mine to rebuild don’t leave me now my pride – MIRROR MIRROR BURN

oh so much for the human touch in your every word it was make believe you’re not far behind scared to lose my mind how long till I find the light breathe down my neck in my mind whispers in the night breaking every bond I have tried to bind running out of time you’re not far behind how long till I find the light reach out and bring me down should I have seen the sin,  pulling me back inside (freedom) i’m forcing my way through the black (mindless) i’m feeling his gaze on my back there is a fire (human) his hate it is burning my skin (nature) afraid that I stay lost within there is a fire what is the day without the night? why would you stay without a fight? should I embrace the sin,  pulling me back inside (freedom) i’m losing my way to the light (mindless) i’m turning and follow the night there is a fire (human) his love it is warming my skin (nature) I’m free now I’ll stay lost within this is my fire come join me forget what you saw embrace all my virtues of war burn with my fire and leave them behind life is for the living
