Another tragedy has left you devastated in a state of hating what you can't see or what you don't believe. The question lingers and your mind just can't figure out why our flame keeps burning on, when all of us share the same wounds that bleed. Don't walk away this time tonight. You know, you'll never find the answer if you don't kill the noise inside. Don't walk away this time tonight, the answer you will find. Just take a walk, it's waiting behind the lie. You long for that deafening whisper to call your name, to relieve the suffering in your mind. It isn't too late to find out, in silence, the quiet rings out. It isn't too late, it's never too late. Please come back. Don't walk away this time tonight. You know, you'll never find the answer if you don't kill the noise inside. Don't walk away this time tonight, the answer you will find. Just take a walk with me here behind the lie. It'll be alright. Everything is going to be alright. Love is waiting. (don't be afraid, just jump right in. embrace this.) Just wait, be still, you'll find out why you haven't heard replies from letters that you've sent with tears when you cried. Don't walk away this time tonight, cuz you'll get your replies. The answer you've been dying to hear inside.

Broken 02:15
I'm in that place again I couldn't soon forget the pain I felt that night. Taken away my life there's nothing left inside, please still my beating heart tonight. I'm every thing I hate, I failed to be what I need. I hate my life...no more to hide. It makes me sick, as I live through it, prepare to die. I lie in the bed I made, bury me far away, no more I need the air I breath. Save me from myself, I'm quickly loosing control. Stripped away, bare I lay, without eyes I see you clearly. Your breaking me...so I can see, I need you. This pain I feel is sweet surreal, I can see tonight. I don't want to feel this pain inside...NOW I KNOW what it feels like to lose my mind. I'd rather feel this death inside, than not to know what I'd be like to be alive.

Inside Out 03:08
You're the cage that's locking away the obscene. Tell me, can you feel it eating at the inside of your skin? I can see your eyes are screaming the sound your mouth won't make, because it's bleeding the secret you try to keep. How can you say that you're okay when the only comfort you find, is isolating yourself inside? Feed the fear. Tighten the chain. You play right into his hands. Exaggeration is the game he plays. The secret never goes away if you keep it inside. It grows and grows until you can't handle it's size. It never goes away if you run and hide. growing, destroying until you live inside out. Your body aches; begins to break. It's got to find a way out somehow, at the seams, your skin is ripping. Initiate; open the gate, before it explodes and destroys you in unwanted release. You're the cage that's locking away the obscene. Tell me, has it still been feeding at the inside of your skin? You're still hanging on to the fear of purchasing freedom; it's so relieving. But the price tag turns your eyes away. And watch them run and hide, when you turn on the Light and give it wings to fly. Then those wings become yours. He won't remember, so just let it out and let it settle.

This Skin 03:42
It's been a part of me for so long; to release, I can't seem to see. But now I see the truth of who you've always been. Union begins to fade. Fill me up til I can't hear it's voice in my head. Make an instrument of this dead shell I have. I've tried and tried and I've always failed. Would You take my place? It is Yours to take. I've had enough of this skin! Skin irritating me, corrupting what I believe about who I am. I am free! It says, "I am not, can't you see that you're stained?" You lie! It was never me! I hate it! It's tearing me to pieces. When will I be rid of this skin I hate? When will I be able to shed this skin I hate?

My Turn 04:18
Every minute you speak, you're spitting your hatred but still I refuse to speak. Every second you breathe, you're suffocating me, yet still I pretend to breathe. then I hear the voice spreading guilt through me. When I hit the ground, my heart begins to bleed. I'll admit it. The pain I'm feeling won't fall asleep. I'm under attack, and I'm falling back again. I'm under attack. The silence is breaking. I've been displayed for too long; the pressure is building; the bottle is breaking. It is time to move on and carry out my wicked desperations. And I can't see how you didn't see this day coming, when my sweet revenge (vengeance) is burning inside of you. Still I'm waiting to feel the satisfaction but that day never came. I'm under attack, and I'm falling back again. I'm under attack. My white flag is rising. Your time's up, it's My turn. I'll show you a life full of hope for the lost. You'll notice it's over. The enemy is dead, there's no one left to fight. Just let Me take over and live your life this time. You were never meant to stand in front of Me, to take the hate.

Tired 03:02
I see you fall. Your face hit the ground again. You've had enough of this carousel you're riding. You feel the warmth of blood dripping down your face, you're feeling weak, yeah you're tired of living this way. I wanted it to pass away; knowing that blood would be dripping down My side. I wanted it to fade away. Can't you see that fear was ripping through My mind? You've never felt life cut this deep before. The searing pain has left you feeling all alone. I hear you crying out for something more; another heart to make this easier to swallow. I wanted it to pass away; knowing that this life would be leaving My eyes. I wanted it to fade away. Can't you see that this air was burning My lungs? The air is escaping. I'm tired of breathing. Can't bury this feeling. You're not the only one. I drank from the cup anyway, so you wouldn't have to feel lonely tonight.

I close the door, I get in and I drive away. The moon is calling my name again. And as I leave, I turn around and see your face in the window as you smile and wave at me. This is the part I hate the most about loving you. It's that it happens every time the day is through. This is the part I hate the most about loving you. It's that I have to leave and then we have to say goodbye. I'm sick of saying goodbye. My heart is aching, the tears are falling as I cry. I can't contain the hurt inside. I feel so lonely. I'm so glad to be alive and I'm glad to know you feel the same as I. Today everything is gonna change and loneliness is gonna fade. Today everything is gonna change and I won't have to leave and say goodbye. I won't have to say goodbye. There'll be no more goodbyes.
