It’s like I'm walking in a dark hallway,
And none of the doors have numbers,
With every step I take.
The hallway gets longer,
Until we all go blind.
I can feel my heartbeat slip away.

Wired faces stuck in these places,
With no luck or hope to hold onto.
I can see that this is suffering,
Your eyes scream stories of regret.
Fear! Rips through my mind,
Ascends down my spine,
Now we are out of time,
Just give me back whats mine.
Just close your eyes.
You close your eyes and,
You can't see anything else,
But the pain around you.
Just pray you make it out alive.
I can feel it poisoning my mind.
You've taken everything that's mine.
(Now close your eyes.)
Stand close to the fire.
Don't be afraid dear.
And watch the destruction you've caused.
Go up in flames.
Feel the heat in my veins.
His eyes go red.
Tempers flare.
Hothead.
There's no escaping him this time.
Fear! Rips through my mind,
Ascends down my spine,
Now we are out of time,
Just give me back whats mine.
Fight back to show him you are still alive.
Just don't give in this time.
Fight back or die.

Dead End

I am just a man.(I am just a man)
I am just skin wrapped up in these sins.
Who walked into the fire again.
(Who walked into the fire again)
(I am, I'm just a man)
(I'm not a man to follow.)
I'm not the man I should be.
I am, I'm just a man.
(I'm not a man to follow.)
I'm not the man I should be.
I watched as people reached out for help.
We all had the same faces.
We all searched for the same thing (in all the same places.)
Don't be a ghost to the world they said.
Show your face.
Don't let the world beat you down.
I saw the snake once.
Ill see her again.
I can feel it.
The city bleeds red tonight.
The city bleeds red tonight.x2
The city will bleed red tonight.
After every fight.
The sky looks over me.
It sees me every time.
Never misses a beat.
On this broken city of mine.
Bleeding for the very last time.
Oh God,
Don't let us drown in the flood tonight.
Save this city.
From myself and my foolish pride.(x2)
Listen up, I don't care what religion you are,
Whether you're hardcore/metalcore.
This song goes out to every single one of you who knows what it feels like to be alone.
I've dealt with depression and thoughts of suicide in my life.
I'm not writing this to get your sympathy.
I'm writing this to tell you I made it through.
This is not your Dead End.
If I can make it out so can you

And when I saw her, (The rain was falling,)
Her tears were calling, (Where is my home?)
I wasn’t sure, (What to do,)
But she looked to the sky, (And the rain said.)
Said goodbye. Said goodbye.
Open your eyes.
let the healing arise.
Forget all the lies inside.
Just open your eyes.
The clouds dispersed and the sun it shined.
A ray of light hit her face that made her glow so bright,
Simply questioning the tears that still fell.
And I know what this means (And I know what this means!)
It’s the trees that sway to the beat of this love
That shines so brightly.
But it’s all so new to her.
She stills seems upset.
As she turns away,
Hiding the pain of yesterdays loss,
The trees still sway, but she continues to walk away.
And I follow her until I call out her name.
She stops and opens up her soul.
I can see it straight through her eyes,
Past all of the lies,
She smiles and says, "Aren't you coming?"
I show her a smile, not of sympathy, but of love.
As the last tear falls from her eye,
At least she knows, to me,
She will never have to say goodbye.
I know you come from a broken family.
I am here to be your shoulder to lean on.
Don't give up now.
I just want to be your brother.
Don't close your eyes. Dear sister. You are alive.
Dear sister. You are alive.

Oh my dear, can't you see this fear.
has consumed you so that you won't survive this year.
We are breaking barriers.
I've watched her.
Picking at her old wounds.
Opening them to flood her emotions.
And causing new pains.
I've been here lost in my world.
Seeing the seas rough up our lives.
Watching her drown in all of this.
Do you believe this would get you out alive.
I don't know how you live.
We all cry out for you tonight.
Did you really think that this would be the way to live.
Just let go of your past.
Or else i know that you wont last
I can see you walking away.
I'd rather you be here with me,
She continues to walk away,
but no longer looks back at me.
The wind blows harmony's of regret down her spine.
Just close your eyes, and know that you are mine.
You're not alone.
I can see her eyes are stuck on the past.
Can't you see what you are doing!
This affection wont last.
I'm trying to lead the way!
And build a new family!
Give it up.
Let go of the past.
Let go of the past.
Let go of your past.

The Good Fight

I can't wait to escape this place.
I'll drown with the entire human race.
In my mind, I can no longer tell time.
The sun never meets my eyes.
Here I am reaching for the heavens.
Never-ending, darkness consumes my body.
I've been buried alive, In my mind.
I'm just trapped.
Fighting the good fight.
Stuck in the night waiting on the sun.
Forever trapped in the never-ending night.
Forever trapped waiting on the sun.
A broken apple, a fallen tree.
Something I wasn't meant to be.
Just let my mind be free.
[Chorus]
A broken apple, a fallen tree.
My choices have caged me.
Just let my heart be set free.
Just let my heart be free.
[Chorus]

[CHORUS]
I've bled theses waters dry.
I've no more tears to cry.
I'll fly to the ends of the earth.
Just to watch myself die.
I'm challenging you for everything that your worth.
I've been following your shadow since birth.
I'll fly to the ends of the earth.
Just to see the surrounding of your vast disbelief.
I am the thief.
You speak of everything.
You speak of nothing.
You speak of everything.
But your words mean nothing.
Your words mean nothing.
I am the thief in the night.
Come to destroy everything that you hold tight.
[CHORUS]
Your mind is a fortress,
Hide every little secret.
You've got locked away.
But you've lost the key.
You've got to find yourself again.
Pick yourself up.
To be comfortable in your own skin.
You've got to find yourself again.
Just look away,
And know that everyday is a new beginning.
We're all struggling to find the key,
To everything that I'm meant to be.
Just smile and know that you're no different.
To fill the heart that is the key.
To your emptiness.
I am the thief in the night.
Come to destroy everything that you hold tight.
[CHORUS]

I am here God.
Let me feel your presence.
Let me know that you are there,
Let me know that you care.
Lift us up father.
And tell me everything will be okay.
Breathe life into us,
Oh father up above.
We gather here in love, for you.
Today we lift our voices to you.
We lift our hearts to you.
Oh father up above.
Please send this world your love.
Take our problems,
Take our pain,
Our worry and our shame.
Take it all away.
Breathe life into us,
Oh father up above.
We gather here in love, for you.
