Lyrics


1. IF THAT DAY SHOULD COME

Walking in this mist looking back don't see a thing
Only memories of the times we used to have
I try to comprehend why this all has gone so hard
I strive to do the adding in my head it won't forget
The moments I feel inside

Running I'm dismissed of my life safe and sound
I can't help but wonder if you'd feel the same right now
Are we really so different? are we really so dumb?
As to let all this happen let all this turn into sand
The moments I feel them inside
The moments I can't let go

Face the dawn I never expected to fall apart from you
All this anger and guilt it's what remains
Yet i thank you for all those rays of sun

Emptiness in your eyes blackened veins in my heart
Through the days hope fades expect nothing but the end
I grab the soil and find only the gravel that will keep me
Under the surface


2. REALIZATION

Wake to the moment out of the blue
The safe and sound turns into a mere lie
I never expected to hear this from you
The gray dark sunshine reveals the truth
Trap me to a corner (no air to breath)
Slay the hope I have (no space to move)
Images gone forever you failed me
Betrayed me rot in hell

All that remains the hate on my face
The blood in my veins is stained by you
The moments we had captured in your hand
Crush them and squeeze I won't forget this pain
I won’t forget this

Broke the truce fucked it up
Watch me go on my own
Alone in hell hear the bell
Of the mass that brings us down

Hey you fall to ground no escape
The victim of this game
Fuck you fall to ground can't comprehend
What the fuck is going on?

It's me I know who is decaying
Faceless to the dawn this sorrow I have to deal with
Let my life turn to sand and the sea to wash it away

The moments we had captured in your hand
The scars from the stab I won't forget this pain
Betrayed by angel realization alone I stand now
Won’t forget this pain I won’t forget this pain


3. MY LIFE IS MINE

Who am I and where I stand?
These are the questions I need to ask myself
I held on to you more tight than it is safe to
So letting go is not only bad
It's not only bad to let go of

You don't know how I feel
You don't know why I am here
I hear you're doing fine yet you
Say you need me in your life
I've had enough of that
Should you ever want to see me again
Feel free to visit my grave

My life is mine I will draw the line
I will be the judge of whether you're in it
My life is mine I don't know what to do with it
But I need to find out by myself

Yet I still have feelings for you
Yet I'm still holding on to you
It has to end

Crawl away from me
Cause I’ve made my mind
Crawl away from me
Cause I realize what I'm worth


4. INSECURE

The new dawn upon us
And I stand alone
Hasn't been such a long time
Since we parted our ways

I can't believe I lost you from my life
It feels so empty inside
I can't reckon where we went wrong
Yet I do remember everything
Everything I lost

You left your fingerprints in my heart
If one can call a piece of stone that
They won't be washed away in the tide
You can't deny the evidence

No more light at the end of the tunnel
It's just me alone in the dark
I have to take a step on my own
Then another and yet another
Until I fall for the last time

I don't want to exist in this hell

Five hundred and forty days back in time I go
A changed man yet too late too late
The perfect hearts tangled so tight
That this will rip them apart rip them apart

Browsing through the memories
Moments captured moments so innocent
I had no clue that some day I would hate that face
Well now I do

Why did you lie to me?
Why did I lie to you?
This burden I'll carry to my grave
Some questions aren't meant to be answered
This burden I will carry to my grave
Along with the sorrow the grief and the guilt


5. A DROP FOR THE PAST

Standing on my ground
The troubled find a way they say
Images around me fade
For a moment I held your arms
Brief moment between souls apart

Every little detail blurs
Can't think of the greater picture
When all the little things go wrong i ask
Is this the journey?
Is this not my journey?

Is this what I wanted all along
Why am I here?
Raise my spirit from the agony
Raise it all the way
The pain unfold the scars
And closed my eyes
The shining made me blind
Can't open my eyes

My line heading straight down
Unable to change it’s way I am
Drowning alone to deep shallows
Was it you who cut the rope?

The shining made me blind
But still i’m able to feel

I drowned I mourned
I’ll die alone
Did I make parting shots?
Or did I just waste my time?
Did I make the best out of the time that was given for me?
Did I make parting shots?
Or did I just waste my time?
