Emotions, corrupting my heart and my head Cold magnetism, forge the path ahead Ruthless in focus, leave lives in disarray When I get it, nothing can stand in my way Nothing is keeping me from what is mine The thickest of ties severed by distorted mind One guided by a fickle light brighter than the rest No care for the shadows, those who know me best My Weakness, my flaw It's pushing me forward when I can't take anymore Replacing connections With an attitude from a dog eat dog world Possessing my heart, all the innocence dies Lying and cheating so I can get the prize Selfish intentions, destructive mistakes No consideration for those in my wake The temperamental light has me under a trance Blurring the edges 'tween lust and romance All that I care for is bathing in the glow So certain this feeling, no one can ever know My Weakness, my flaw It's pushing me forward when I can't take anymore Replacing connections With an attitude from a dog eat dog world

Is it a regret that you are not here, or a pleasure that you were Things seemed so right, the way they were, the way they used to be I weep for the days now past Why must they go? Our lives were destined to be together Nothing could tear us apart Sometimes it’s a pity, that we have to grow up at all Now we must go, follow our separate paths The route isn’t always so clear Now we must go, go on our separate ways And lose the cherished feelings we hold dear I will miss you Goodbye

The feeling, the fascination The light's delight, eager devotion The submission, the admiration The heart's desire, cardiac innocence Put blinkers on my mind and my rationality Where have I gone? The passion, the ecstasy The night's drug, vacuous addiction The power, the adrenaline The life's urge, primal instinct Gave claws to my soul and my mentality Where have you gone?

Of all the issues I have dealt with through my life of being me There are some things that I cannot get through self discovery Don't get me wrong, I learned to crawl, I stood on my two feet Became the man I am today and a man you've yet to meet But I didn't make it on my own From time to time a hand would guide me And now I take the reigns alone I need to find an understanding So I walk along this road and think 'Is something wrong with me?' Why can't I solve this problem, is the problem me? There's an error that I have to fix, I want to mend myself But taking all these mental blows is not good for my health I feel the man I want to be Has to take all the damage But I must realise it's not only me Then I can find that understanding It's not my battle to fight The issue is not mine on my own A problem shared is a problem halved I'm only human after all I have to take this problem and take it to the source It's something that we have to fix to let us take our course I am the cause and so are you, together we should know That when we put our minds together, who knows where we can go This is our battle to fight The issue is ours together Our problem shared is a problem halved We are only human after all And now I know what we've to do Hold on to a simple truth 'I am with you and not against you' Then together we can reach that understanding

Remember 05:30
As we sit at home, there's a wall between us You stare ahead like I don't exist The life that we're living is falling apart An empty hollow shell of what we used to be Remember why you love me When the sun is rising, and the grindstone calls our names We barely say a word, and go our own ways The smile on your face fuels the sorrow in my eyes The truth hurts to know, that you're glad to escape Remember why you love me When we met, we were meant for each other To stay together we left our old lives behind Whatever happened to the people we were One year later, you can't look in my eyes anymore Now you feel this has become too much to take You pack all your bags, I can only ask why Has this happened, can't we try again You refuse to answer, and walk out the door Remember why you loved me

As I lie here and I think to myself About this feeling that's inside of me I wonder, is this not where I wanted to be? This is not what I aimed for Is this a sign? Have I done wrong? I'm not supposed to feel this way I thought I was strong, where did I go wrong? As I think about the things that I said All the pain that I caused, all the tears that were shed Then I wonder, do I really want to be All alone On my own And then I came to realise I may have made a big mistake But how am I supposed to know? How can I ever tell if this is where I'm meant to be? On my own What do I want from this life? What do I need to live? What is this pain that I feel? What do I have to do to get through this? I don't know what I want anymore I don't know what I need to survive I don't know what this is that I feel I know that I don't know anything As I lie here and I think to myself About this feeling that's inside of me I realise, it's not another a test to pass It's a path to choose

Here I am, never alone Don't stop to think, don't close your eyes There he is, locked in the zone Suffering, he should never know A shroud of black, the darkened veil My facade turns to dust, facing the night Hurtful reality, a recent tale Senses raw, and exposed, pain will rise, Awakened by the shadows Here I am, wrapped in the night There he is, oblivious Self constructed false reality Don't wake me from my dream Self serving schizophrenic personality Please don't wake him from his dream A shroud of black, the darkened veil, strips my cowardice My facade turns to dust in the face of the night Hurtful truths, I've been gone, kidnapped consciousness Senses raw, and exposed, pain will rise, Awakened by the shadows Here we are, sweat on our brow, tears on the floor Submitting to the past, merging him and 'I' Self destructive ignorance Please don't wake us from our lie Something inside withholds from me Something outside exposes me Wake me up and show me Safe, until the next time Here I am

I started off with a house full of boredom Left alone with nothing new Had to leave, had to head for the bright lights Went in search of something to do And there I met an old friend And I fell into his trap again I live in a society, where my foe surrounds me And leads me to believe he's my friend In the day when I look out the window And the sunshine burns my eyes I sit and wait for the darkness to come So my excuse to escape will arise I want the people to come and play But in the end I just push my friends away I live in a society, where my foe surrounds me And leads me to believe he's my friend The people I care for are dragging me down Telling me 'no, no, no' Because I am blinkered by the loop I'm in I forget these people are my true friends I break through the drunken cover And see myself looking in If I have all my friends at my side That's all the escape I need I live in a society, where my friends surround me And I remember what it means to live
