Intro (Canto III) - Red

I should've seen all the signs all around me But I was comfortable inside these walls So go ahead and take another piece of me now While we all bow down to you You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me How can you help my affliction If you're the sickness and not the cure? Too long I've faked this addiction Another sacrifice to make us pure You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget this I won't forget, I cannot forget this I won't forget, I'll never forget I know I can never prove this illusion You aren't the one that I thought you were And so I learned to embrace this delusion The line that separates us starts to blur You tear me down and then you pick me up You take it all and still it's not enough You try to tell me you can heal me But I'm still bleeding and you'll be the death of me And you'll be the death of me I won't forget, I cannot forget this And you'll be the death of me

And this is how it feels when I Ignore the words you spoke to me And this is where I lose myself When I keep running away from you And this is who I am when When I Don't know myself anymore And this is what I choose when It's all left up to me Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me Breathe into me And this is how it looks when I'm standing on the edge And this how I break apart When I finally hit the ground And this is how it hurts when I Pretend I don't feel any pain And this is how I disappear When I throw myself away Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me Breathe your life into me I can feel you I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I still need you I'm falling, falling Breathe into me Breathe your life into me I'm falling, falling faster Breathe your life into me I'm falling, falling Falling Breathe into me Breathe into me Breathe into me Breathe into me BREATHE!

You dragged the depths of my soul Until you found it A darkened room locked away I let you in You looked inside then you turned away My makeshift savior He left me right here in my chains But still I whisper (I'm calling out) Still I call you I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me It's my descent, a familiar pain Of watching all I believed fade away Of traitors and fools Of beggars and thieves Which mask will you choose? What is underneath? I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me Am I the black stain of your perfect life? Am I the darkness that you need to hide? It covers you It spills over you I never wanted you to see The darkest part of me I knew you'd run away I waited but you never came So afraid to be alone I tried to let you go Still I find you lost inside the darkest part of me

We were the ones who weren't afraid We were the broken hearted We were the scars that wouldn't fade away How did we let go? How did we forget that we don't have to hide? We won't believe the lies again We won't be paralyzed We can be who we are, now we are alive We can fight, they cannot contain us It's who we are We are undying We are forever We won't hide our faces from the light Eliminate the space between us It's who we are We are forever It's who we are We were the tears that passion cried We were the sacrificed We were the flame that wouldn't die inside How did we go wrong, we will not forget We won't get left behind We won't give up this fight again We won't be denied We can be who we are, now we are alive We can fight, they cannot contain us It's who we are We are undying We are forever We won't hide our faces from the light Eliminate the space between us It's who we are We are forever It's who we are (We will never die) (We will never die) (We will not deny) (Now we are alive) We can be who we are, now we are alive We can fight, they cannot contain us It's who we are We are undying We are forever We won't hide our faces from the light Eliminate the space between us It's who we are We are forever It's who we are

My eyes have adjusted to dark And so has my heart The weight of the world has covered me I'm in over my head Am I living or dead? Can anyone hear me calling out? I'm calling out I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath I built this house on the shore All I wanted was more Then I felt the sand start shifting I saw the cracks in the walls I painted over them all I tried my best to just ignore I can't ignore I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath I thought I was climbing out But it's dragging me down What's hidden here with me? Thought I was alone But it pulls me deeper now I can't escape I'm finally breaking So where are you now? It's been such a long time That I've tried to live without I'm suffocating I need you to breathe So reach down and pull me up Pull me out before I am buried beneath
