Left alone to tragedies Staining the soul, undivine Things once dead came back alive Nothing ahead and ghosts behind I realize that I can't escape There's no turning back My past will haunt me To the end of my life I saw myself before the closed gates of hope We didn't loose the faith, it lost us All streams of life have turned into dust We are left without any hope And we are standing without fear Erase this scenery That I tremble before Everything left empty Dead skin holds the pieces inside I saw myself behind the closed gates of hope We didn't loose the faith, it lost us All streams of life have turned into dust We are left without any hope And we are standing without fear Left alone to tragedies Staining the soul, undivine Things once dead came back alive Nothing ahead and ghosts behind I saw myself before the closed gates of hope We didn't loose the faith, it lost us All streams of life have turned into dust We are left without any hope And we are standing without fear

She ran away in the middle of the night With a dream glowing in her eyes Free at last she can feel it in her heart now Melodies like rain falling into her soul Now face the sea, so wild so free So bright a journey, your destiny It's time to wake Or life you'll waste Standing in line Only you can fly your skies From the past, all demons come alive now Her greatest fear stands humbled by her greatest hopes And now she feels so strong and free Old chains are broken, no time for tears It's time to wake Or life you'll waste Standing in line Only you can fly your skies Now go get lost Sail the world See the dreams and the dreamers die Go survive It's time to wake Or life you'll waste Standing in line Only you can fly your skies Now go get lost Sail the world See the dreams and the dreamers die Go survive It's time to wake Or life you'll waste Standing in line Only you can fly your skies Now go get lost Sail the world See the dreams and the dreamers die Go survive

Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me Chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Oh Gates of Babylon You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The Gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A sabre dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more City of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Black Gates of Babylon The devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon

I don't wanna lie And you can't tell the truth, so It's over I don't love you anymore I needed you to pull me through But you don't care, you bring it right back to you The lonely nights inside my room You're at the bar, drinking 'til your liver's bruised Look at yourself in the mirror Distorted, but I see it clearer Life of the party when you're Crying while you're dancing Spinning in the backseat I guess you got what you want I guess it's not enough Crying while you're dancing You woke up in a stranger's bed And realize you're hanging by the thinnest thread Now you're coming down and falling fast Where you end up, you'll break like you are made of glass Look at yourself in the mirror Distorted, but I see that you're Crying while you're dancing Spinning in the backseat I guess you got what you want I guess it's not enough Crying while you're dancing Look at yourself in the mirror Distorted, but I see that you're Crying while you're dancing Spinning in the backseat I guess you got what you want I guess it's not enough Crying while you're dancing

Been on the road, losing track of days I pull you in while you pull away It's like I always play to lose you I saw your eyes filling up with tears You pull the plug and then you disappear This home has never felt so empty Effortless the way you left me Cut me open with your own two hands Breathing is so difficult to comprehend When the air I breathe is taken from me It's my fault that you're gone I've been digging in the dirt Finding every way to hurt There's no light, it's just dark Feel my body growing numb Watch me as I come undone Is there relief in the misery? Thought we would last an eternity Forever I will feel this hollow It's not enough to believe in me And now I'm left with the memories One day I'll learn to live without Effortless the way you left me Now the air I breathe is taken from me It's my fault that you're gone I've been digging in the dirt Finding every way to hurt There's no light, it's just dark Feel my body growing numb Watch me as I come undone A burial plot for you and I Where we can both learn to die It's my fault that you're gone I've been digging in the dirt Finding every way to hurt It's my fault that you're gone There's no light, it's just dark It's my fault that you're gone I've been digging in the dirt Finding every way to hurt There's no light, it's just dark Feel my body growing numb Watch me as I come undone A burial plot for you and I Where we can both learn to die It's my fault that you're gone I've been digging in the dirt Finding every way to hurt A burial plot for you and I Where we can both learn to die

Dreamstate Always told me to keep you close The feeling's fading when you're a ghost I dream of colors that light your face But real life showed me it takes away 'Cause every time I wake up I'm waiting for a miracle And maybe when the night comes I'll find you in another world So how do I live in a dreamstate? When nothing is real when I'm awake The sun rises but I know I'm afraid I'm living in a dreamstate Death played victim through hide and seek You felt its cold touch when you were weak Your soul departed, the sky turned blue But when I'm sleeping, I talk with you 'Cause every time I wake up I'm waiting for a miracle And maybe when the night comes I'll find you in another world So how do I live in a dreamstate? When nothing is real when I'm awake The sun rises but I know I'm afraid I'm living in a dreamstate 'Cause every time I wake up I'm waiting for a miracle I can try but it blinds when I walk through hell Now my dream's a reminder I know that nothing is real (nothing is real) Nothing is real (nothing is real) Nothing is real (nothing is real) No, the pain won't erase, I cannot wake So how do I live in a dreamstate? When nothing is real when I'm awake The sun rises but I know I'm afraid I'm living in a dreamstate The sun rises but I know I'm afraid I'm living in a dreamstate I'm living in a dreamstate

God won't speak to me, I'm not sure he was ever listening All those years asking for help but I was simply talking to myself Not worthy of your grace, I'm done seeking out a god who won't show his face Hell awaits all those who won't follow blindly Lead astray, abandoned, no promise of salvation Every person put to death in the name of your god, is it actually worth all of the blood spilled? Where was god when my heart was split into separate pieces? He's too busy to pay me any of his attention He must be dead to stay quiet when I needed guidance for so long I will carry your cross no longer This has to end when I know you don't exist here No words, no signs to instill in me what is right I ripped these pages up and mourned the death of god Nothing to contemplate, your savior's not awake I don't want heaven or hell when my life ends You call it unconditional love, I call it nothing but unwavering deceit I'm terrified to admit this but I swear that I'm finished with you I've lost my faith, not lost my way You parted the red sea, but you couldn't show yourself to me Will we burn in hell or will we simply rot in the ground here

I've been noticing my clothes fit A little bit looser Worried is an understatement When you don't have a future Schizophrenic borderline, hear it in my sleep Dying is a victory if it will bring me peace Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know I've been noticing my bones show A little bit clearer I don't recognize who I see Reflected in the mirror Thinner, I'm not bitter of the cards that I've been dealt I would give up everything to be somebody else Starved with no regard 'Cause I can go a little bit longer Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Try every night to swallow more than my pride But I'm starving to be empty I bite my tongue so I don't feed off your love 'Cause I'm starving to be empty Falling, I'm falling so far away Hold out your hand when I start to break Falling, I'm falling so far away (Far away) Hold out your hand when I start to break (Start to break) Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know Don't leave me all alone Skin deep, no one has to know

I think I have a problem These blackened eyes are bloodshot Lust like a fiend, I don't feel what you feel for anyone or anything Broken but I don't need I don't need you to fix me Numb to the pain, I could drown in the rain My demon's safe kept in my grave Drunk off mistakes Addicted to the everlasting hell So I take another drink, throw up in the sink The darker that it gets the easier I can breathe If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul (That I'd become a crooked soul) I see a devil in myself Inflicting all the grief and doubt (feel, feel anymore) Drunk off mistakes Addicted to the everlasting hell So I take another drink, throw up in the sink The darker that it gets the easier I can breathe If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul Don't need your help, time will tell My only concern is myself I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul Don't need your help, time will tell I see a devil in myself If I have a heart, why am I so cold? If you love me still, I don't feel it I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul Don't need your help, time will tell My only concern is myself I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul I always knew in the end that I'd become a crooked soul (Crooked soul)
