1. MADELINE

Will we all be saved today?

Sweetheart, be still, enjoy the show
All the walls are beginning to bleed

Lay to rest any hope of flight
Oh, my God can this be happening?
Darkness quenches anxious light

My sly illusion is chasing after me
As time cries, "please forget what you've seen"

One minute I was there chasing daydreams
Suddenly I'm here cheating death
One mistake and I'll be a slave to it, yeah
And maybe I will find you on the other side
Or maybe I'm trapped in this narration
So condemned to never be again

I own you now, oh sweet child

Just when you thought you had fooled the Gods
Oh, darling just you wait, such mystery remains

I could try to scream, I could just run
But I would find you and punish you for your sins
For ever thinking you were clever enough to prevail
Everyone is dead, everything is dead, everything is dead
I'm loving every second of watching you writhe

My sly illusion is chasing after me
As time cries, "please forget what you've seen"

One minute I was there chasing daydreams
Suddenly I'm here cheating death
One mistake and I'll be a slave to it, yeah
And maybe I will find you on the other side
Or maybe I'm trapped in this narration
So condemned to never be again

Let the games begin

Try your best to escape, lamb
I saved the worst for you, yeah
I'll humiliate your soul
I'll make you wish you'd stayed asleep

One minute I was there chasing daydreams
Suddenly I'm here cheating death
One mistake and I'll be a slave to it, yeah
And maybe I will find you on the other side
Or maybe I'm trapped in this narration
So condemned to never be again

I own you now, oh sweet child

Sweetheart, be still, enjoy the show
All the walls are beginning to bleed
Just when you thought you had fooled the Gods
Oh, darling just you wait, shall we begin?

Will we all be saved today?


2. ADAGIO FOR CATASTROPHE

Love the illusion, adore the deception
Hold on to the one who's destroying you

The night shines, I walk in
Unafraid to meet you on the other side
Give yourself to me (all to me)
I welcome the ending
I was sorry never meant to satisfy
Give yourself to me (all to me)

As I welcome the doubts and horror
Of this elegy
I black out, oh here we go again

The night shines, I walk in
Unafraid to meet you on the other side
Give yourself to me (all to me)
I welcome the ending
I was sorry never meant to satisfy
Give yourself to me (all to me)

All to me, all to me
All to me, all to me

I wait for the darkness
And greet me as the night arrives
Another sick nightmare
So begins the torture of feeling alive

Here's to finding a way out of this disaster


3. THE COWARD

I found him lying there on the floor
He did not breathe
Looked around but to my chagrin
I was surrounded
By a scene of morbid despair (suffering souls)
And I waited for the knife to find me

But luckily I was alone
Escape, pretend you were never here

I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive

So I go back
I taste the horror
I stare blankly, don't know where to begin
The smell consumes me
One by one I cover them all (say my goodbyes)
Then I slowly find my way into the night

Only this time I'm not alone
You had your chance but it's over now

I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive

I'm begging you please let me go
I'll pretend I did not see a thing
Rip out my tongue, yea
Let me go
And I'll tell them you were never here
I'll swear to them that it was me

I run, make sure there's no one around
Don't make a sound
I beg my body to stay off of the ground
Oh, do you realize just what you've done
Oh, I knew
Will I ever mention her name

I am a coward but I'm alive
I am so sorry I'm still alive
I am a bastard but I'm alive
I'm so sorry for what I've done


4. REQUIEM

A year has passed
Since I learned where you had gone
So far, so long
The last of you still infects my every move
Without you I'm confined

I'll wait for you as you watch me fall
If ever you cared, if ever at all
Just one more night, if not one last kiss
We'll say goodbye, forget what we missed

I am starting to forget your eyes, shut tight all night
Miles away are the nights that we would say
Until death do we break

I'll wait for you as you watch me fall
If ever you cared, if ever at all
Just one more night, if not one last kiss
We'll say goodbye, at last

Last night I packed your pictures away with all of your clothes
The smell of you disappeared
Replaced by deafening calm
Last night I tore the last piece of you from my shaking hand
I know you're not coming back

I begged you not to leave that night
Wait for me
Wait for me
Wait for me

I'll wait for you as you watch me fall
If ever you cared, if ever at all
Just one more night, if not one last kiss
We'll say goodbye, forget what we missed
Forget what we missed, yeah
Forget what we missed
Forget what we missed
What we missed
Yeah
Wait for me


5. FITS AND STARTS

I am tearing down everything
Oh, I'm starting from scratch, yeah
I could waste my time trying to convince you but I'm done
I'm done wasting time
I'm losing my grip on
(The struggle, it chokes me)
What matters most to me again
Burn my thoughts and suffocate me on the rising mist

I'll try to breathe you in

I'll walk away if you won't leave
And I'll take only what's left of me
Drown my thoughts
And strangle any thoughts I have of you

What can I do to destroy a nightmare I so adore?

Lost in sorrow, trapped in torment
And falling fast
Find the courage, start all over
Alive at last
I am free
And tonight it begins
I say farewell

Clear my mind, spill my thoughts
I tried to figure out why no one hears all the lies
So obvious in their eyes
You know you're right

I'm out of time
How can I destroy a nightmare I so adore?

Lost in sorrow, trapped in torment
And falling fast
Find the courage, start all over
Alive at last
I am free
And tonight it begins
I say farewell

Abandoned and broken I rise above!

I pull on the thread and it breaks
Unraveling quick, what is left now?
I'm starting to see but I'm dying to know

May the past die swiftly and the path shine brightly
(I am dying to know)
No more fear, only dreams that will come true at last

Lost in sorrow, trapped in torment
And falling fast
Find the courage, start all over
Alive at last
I am free
And tonight it begins
I say farewell

I say farewell
(I say farewell)
To giving up


6. INTERVAL (HIATUS REBORN)

We though that this would be different
Yea, and we were so right
Say it with me
"I am the one who dreams"
Trust in your heart
Accomplish everything (say anything)
See everything you could not live without

This is a big mistake
I'm second guessing my way

Stay off of the ground
It's so easy to take a chance
Say you think it's good for me
And I'll stop being reckless
Damn I hope you're right
It's time to step away
Take another glance
It's time to walk away and maybe have a fighting chance
It's time to step away
Dance another dance (Damn I hope you're right)
It's time to walk away and leave behind a sweet romance

You take my breath away
You take my breath away

We will sing this song together tonight
You take my breath away
Close your eyes, think of me
Please take my breath away
I will be alright
Memories survive through the night

I never promised you
I never promised you
I never promised you
This would get easier
I never promised you
I never promised you
I never promised you
This would get easier

You take my breath away
You take my breath away

We will sing this song together tonight
You take my breath away
Close your eyes, think of me
Please take my breath away
I will be alright
Memories survive through the night

If you go I'll break
Don't go, I'll wait
If we go you'll break
Beg me to stay
If you go I'll break
Don't go, I'll wait
If we go you'll break
Beg me to stay
Oh no (If you go I'll break)
I want you to know (Don't go, I'll wait)
You're not alone
I hope that you really know (If we go you'll break)
You're not alone (Beg me to stay)
It's tearing me
It's tearing me apart
Oh no (If you go I'll break)
I want you to know (Don't go, I'll wait)
You're not alone (If we go you'll break)
We've seen this before
It's tearing me
It's tearing me apart
I hope that you really know (If we go you'll break)
You're not alone (Beg me to stay)
We've seen this before
It's tearing me
It's tearing me apart
If you go I'll break
Don't go, I'll wait
We've seen this before
It's tearing me
It's tearing me apart
If we go you'll break
Beg me to stay
We've seen this before
If you go I'll break
Don't go, I'll wait
If we go you'll break
Beg me to stay
