Bring me to life

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
leading you down into my core where I’ve become so numb
without a soul my spirit sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Now that I know what I’m without
you can't just leave me
breathe into me and make me real
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can’t wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can’t wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I’ve become

(Bring me to life)
I’ve been living a lie, there’s nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[CHORUS:]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have
All of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating life
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

My last breath

Hold on to me love
You know I can't stay long
All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid Ooh
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

I'll miss the winter
A world of fragile things
Look for me in the white forest
Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)
I know you hear me
I can taste it in your tears

Holding my last breath
Safe inside myself
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

Closing your eyes to disappear
You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth
No one's there

Say goodnight
Don't be afraid
Calling me, Holding me as you fade to black

(Say goodnight)
Holding my last breath
(Don't be afraid)
Safe inside myself
(Calling me, Holding me)
Are all my thoughts of you
Sweet raptured light
It ends here tonight

(Holding my last breath)
(Safe inside myself)
(Are all my thoughts of you)
(Sweet raptured light)
(It ends here tonight)
(Holding my last breath)

Everybodys fool

Perfect by nature,
Icons of self indulgence,
Just what we all need,
More lies about a world that...

(chorus)
Never was and never will be ,
Have you no shame dont you see me,
You know you've got everybody fooled,

Look here she comes now,
bow down and stare in wonder,
Oh how we love you,
no flaws when you're pretending
but now I know she...

Never was and never will be,

You don't know how you've betrayed me,
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

Without the mask where will you hide?
Can't find yourself lost in your lies.

I know the truth now,
I know who you are,
And i don't love you anymore,

It never was and never will be,
You don't know how you've betrayed me,
And somehow you've got everybody fooled.

It never was and never will be,
You're not real and you can't save me,
And somehow now you're everybody's

Going under

Now I will tell you what I've done for you,
50 thousand tears I've cried.
screaming, decieving, and bleeding for you,
and you still won't hear me.
going under.
Don't want your hand this time, I'll save myself,
maybe I'll wake up for once.
not tormented daily defeated by you.
just when i thought I reached the bottom.
(BRIDGE)
Im dying again
(CHORUS)
I'm going under,
drowning you,
I'm falling forever,
I've got to break through,
I'm going under.

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies,
(whisper)- So I don't know what's real and what's not.
Always confusing the thoughts in my head,
So I can't trust myself anymore.

(BRIDGE)
Im dying again
(CHORUS)
I'm going under,
drowning you,
I'm falling forever,
I've got to break through,

So go on and scream, scream at me,
I'm so far away.
I won't be broken again.
I've got to breathe,
I can't keep going under.

(bridge)
Im dying again
(chorus)
I'm going under,
drowning you,
I'm falling forever,
I've got to break through,
I'm going under.
going under
I'm going under

Call Me When You're Sober

Don't cry to me.
If you loved me,
You would be here with me.
You want me?
Come find me
Make up your mind

Should I let you fall?
Lose it all,
So maybe you can remember yourself
Can't keep believing, we're only deceiving ourselves and I'm sick of the lie
And you're too late.

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

Couldn't take the blame
Sick with shame
Must be exhausting to lose your own game
Selfishly hated, no wonder you're jaded
you can't play the victim this time
And you're too late

Don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
You want me
Come find me
Make up your mind

You never call me when you're sober
You only want it cause it's over
ya, It's over.

How could I have burned paradise?
How could I - you were never mine!

So don't cry to me
If you loved me
You would be here with me
Don't lie to me
Just get your things
I've made up your mind.

Breathe No More

I’ve been looking in the mirror for so long,
That I’ve come to believe my souls on the other side.
All the little pieces falling shattered.
Shards of me too sharp to put back together.
Too small to matter,
But big enough to cut me in to so many little pieces if I try to touch her.

And I bleed. I bleed.
And I breathe. I breathe, no more

I take a breath and I try draw from my spirit's well.
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child.
Lie to me convince me that I’ve been sick forever.
And all of this will make sense when I get better.
But I know the difference between myself and my reflection.
I just can’t help but to wonder which of us do you love.

So I bleed. I bleed.
And I breathe.
I breathe no,
Bleed. I bleed.
And I breathe. I breathe. I breathe. I breathe, no more.

Farther Away

I took their smiles and I made them mine.
I sold my soul just to hide the light.
And now I see what I really am,
A thief, a whore, and a liar.

I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

I'm numb to you - numb and deaf and blind.
You give me all but the reason why.
I reach but I feel only air at night.
Not you, not love, just nothing.

I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

Try to forget you,
But without you I feel nothing.
Don't leave me here, by myself.
I can't breathe.

I run to you,
Call out your name,
I see you there, farther away.

Field of Innocence

I still remember
The world from the eyes of a child
Slowly those feelings
Weree clouded by what I know now

Where has my heart gone
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything and knowing nothing at all

I still remember
The sun always warm on my back
Somehow it seems colder now

Where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

*latin hymn*

Where has my heart gone.
An uneven trade for the real world
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything

Oh where has my heart gone
Trapped in the eyes of a stranger
Oh I, I want to go back to
Believing in everything
