1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. HAUNTED

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there

[Chorus]
Watching me - Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you - Loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Hunting you I can smell you alive
Your heart pounding in my head

Watching me - Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Saving me - Raping me
Watching me

[Chorus]


3. GOING UNDER

Now I will tell you what I've done for you
50 thousand tears I've cried
Screaming - Deceiving and bleeding for you
And you still won't hear me
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'd reach the bottom
I die again

[Chorus]
I'm going under
Drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through
I'm going under

Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies
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
I die again

I'm going under
drowning in you
I'm falling forever
I've got to break through

I'm so go 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

I die again

[Chorus]

Going under
I'm going under


4. TAKING OVER ME

You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live to breathe
You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know and all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me then

[Chorus]

I look in the mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

[Chorus](x2)

You're taking over me
Taking over me


5. EVERYBODY'S FOOL

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

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? - Don't 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

[Chorus]
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 lie

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

[Chorus]

Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool


6. 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
Can you hear me?
Can you feel me in your arms?

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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 - Calling me as you fade to black

[Chorus]


7. 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's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]
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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

Bring me to life
I've been living a lie
There's nothing inside
Bring me to life


8. TOURNIQUET

I tried to kill the pain
But only brought more
So much more
I lay dying
And I'm pouring crimson regret and betrayal

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm dying - Praying - Bleeding and screaming
Am I too lost to be saved?
Am I too lost?

[Chorus]
My God my tourniquet
Return to me salvation
My God my tourniquet
Return to me salvation

Do you remember me?
Lost for so long
Will you be on the other side?
Or will you forget me?

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

Return to me salvation
I want to die

[Chorus]

My wounds cry for the grave
My soul cries for deliverance
Will I be denied Christ?
Tourniquet
My suicide


9. IMAGINARY

Paper flowers (x2)

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - Your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

[Chorus]

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh - How I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

[Chorus]

Paper flowers (x2)


10. WHISPER

Catch me as I fall
Say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere
No one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away

[Chorus]
Don't turn away
Don't give in to the pain
Don't try to hide
Though they're screaming your name
Don't close your eyes
God knows what lies behind them
Don't turn out the light
Never sleep never die

I'm frightened by what I see
But somehow I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear
And soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
If I will it all away

[Chorus]

Fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me I fear
She beckons me - Shall I give in?
Upon my end - Shall I begin?
Forsaking all I've fallen for I rise to meet the end

[Chorus]

(x2)
Don't turn away
Servatis a periculum
Don't try to hide
Servatis a maleficum
Don't close your eyes
Servatis a periculum
Don't turn out the light
Servatis a maleficum

(x6)
Servatis a periculum
Servatis a maleficum

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's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

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

12. EVERYBODY'S FOOL

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

Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? - Don't 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
Too bad we didn't know she

[Chorus]
Never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

The dynamic of symmetrical social riots
Can be summed together in broad statements
That what has become blueprint for all
And all have been reduced to the space of one

[Chorus]

Never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow now you're everybody's fool


13. HAUNTED

Long lost words whisper slowly to me
Still can't find what keeps me here
When all this time I've been so hollow inside
I know you're still there

Watching me - Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you - Loving you
I know I’ll find you somehow

Hunting you I can smell you alive
Your heart pounding in my head

Calling me - Killing me
I won’t let you pull me down
Saving me - Raping me
Watching me

(x2)
Watching me - Wanting me
I can feel you pull me down
Fearing you - Loving you
I won't let you pull me down

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - Your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

[Chorus]

You can lead the world you live in
'Cause inside you may not remember
But something waits for you to breathe again

[Chorus]


15. TAKING OVER ME

You don't remember me but I remember you
I lie awake and try so hard not to think of you
But who can decide what they dream?
And dream I do

[Chorus]
I believe in you
I'll give up everything just to find you
I have to be with you to live - To breathe
You're taking over me

Have you forgotten all I know and all we had?
You saw me mourning my love for you
And touched my hand
I knew you loved me - Then

[Chorus]

I look in a mirror and see your face
If I look deep enough
So many things inside that are just like you are taking over

[Chorus](x2)

You're taking over me
