lyrics
What a wicked sight,
stepping through the gates of encompassed night,
facing the tormented souls,
the night is young, chaos to unfold.
When I run every way,
I'm always lead astray,
to an endless void of fear,
is there a way out of here?
I'm dragging my weight
with this pain and hate,
how can I heal,
with everything I feel?
Breaking off the tides,
taking all the lies,
no matter how I've tried
but then I looked inside.
As long as we stand,
(and never cease)
we'll always be damned
(with this disease).
Stronger as we strive,
(through truth and lies)
this death over life
(we fall until we rise).
I've got a devil or three,
to hell with the "angels" that point at me!
Perfection is pointless, I see the cracks,
I left in the mirror when the pain looked back!
What a beautiful fright,
sorrow is an honest sight,
it reminds me I know how to feel,
I had to know that something's real.
I was hanging by a thread, wanting to die,
until I saw a reason to stay alive.
So I say (so I say)
please stay, (please stay)
and help me wake up another day.
As long as we stand,
(and never cease)
we'll always be damned
(with this disease).
Stronger as we strive,
(through truth and lies)
this death over life
(we fall until we rise).
