Step back Another cage Another victim Lost in the daze Forever imprisoned Bite down as you beat yourself into submission Counting visions Before you question, check who's guarding your back Best be sure to check your facts You built your walls and now they're starting to crack Can you feel it now? Dark days Have you ever felt this way? Yeah, these are dark days Have you ever fucking felt this way? They say love is blind But I can see it all in their eyes Take what's left of mine Take my heart, let it take my body They say love is blind But I can see it all in their eyes Take what's left of mine I'll take the strain 'Cause these are dark days Built up inside I'm so unsatisfied Grief is building in me, I'm so incomplete Day by day it will be on It will be gone Another cage, another victim Lost in the daze, forever imprisoned Day by day it will be on Have you felt this way? Yeah, these are dark days These woven chains, they start to fray I can see it in their eyes They built this place to watch me break I can hardly breathe, I can hardly breathe I can see it in their eyes Watch me break Have you felt this way? These are dark days They say love is blind But I can see it all in their eyes Take what's left of mine Take my heart, let it take my body They say love is blind But I can see it all in their eyes Take what's left of mine I'll take the strain And no, I can't take this any longer You've waved this red flag, so deal With the horns

This endless night This funeral dirge We celebrate life At the end of the earth When everything is gone There'll be nothing left to lose The ice is closing in And nothing will remain We took what we could get And we burned it anyway With all those secrets We swore we'd take 'em to the grave The light will falter and will fade And in the darkness, we'll say This winter hasn't been so rough Oh, it was cold, but still, it wasn't cold enough To freeze the blood beneath my spine And at least I survived We're sleeping through the days And sinking like a ship We're wasting away Bit by bit Everyone is gone And everything is changed It won't ever be the same And when it's over, we'll say This winter hasn't been so rough Oh, it was cold, but still, it wasn't cold enough To freeze the blood beneath my spine And at least I survived We've had some dark days We're in the thick of it now And when the ice breaks There will be no one around We've had some dark days We're in the thick of it now And when the ice breaks There will be no one around This winter hasn't been so rough Oh, it was cold, but it wasn't cold enough To freeze the blood beneath my spine And at least I survived This winter hasn't been so rough (we've had some dark days) Oh, it was cold, but still, it wasn't cold enough (we're in the thick of it now) To freeze the blood beneath my spin (and when the ice breaks) At least I'll survive

It doesn't make it any less real Once you feel it Rage with the fire of insight These are the days that Favors the emotional An amplified belief When effective and unbiased I want my eyes to be It might be lost and gone To memory belong It doesn't make it any less real Once you feel it Rage with the fire of insight These are the phantom days Behind the reason Once we nullify intent Ignorance be just When defeatist minds prevail In dreams they slip away Yet this feeling lingers on It doesn't make it any less real Once you feel it Rage with the fire of insight These are the phantom days What remains of indecision Determined by resolve Vicariously through others I see what I can be It might be lost and gone To memory belong It doesn't make it any less real Once you feel it Rage with the fire of insight These are the phantom days
