1. EXODUS

My black backpack stuffed with broken dreams
Twenty bucks should get me through the week
Never said a word of discontentment
Thought it a thousand times but now
I'm leaving home

[Chorus]
Here in the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months passed by and it's getting cold
I know I'm not lost - I'm just alone
But I won't cry - I won't give up - I can't go back now
Waking up is knowing who you really are

[Chorus]

In the shadows
I'm safe - I'm free
I've nowhere else to go
But I cannot stay here - Oh
Show me the shadow where true meaning lies
So much more dismay in empty eyes


2. GIVE UNTO ME

I've been watching you from a distance
The distance sees through your disguise
All I want from you is your hurting
I want to heal you
I want to save you from the dark

Give unto me your trouble
I'll endure your suffering
Place onto me your burden
I'll drink your deadly poison

Why should I care if they hurt you?
Somehow it matters more to me
Than if I were hurting myself
Save you - Save you
I'll save you

[Chorus]
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Give unto me your trouble
Fear not the flame of my love's candle
I'll endure your suffering
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness
Place onto me your burden
Give unto me all that frightens you
I'll drink your deadly poison
I'll have your nightmares for you if you sleep soundly

[Chorus]

Fear not the flame of my love's candle
Let it be the sun in your world of darkness


3. GOODNIGHT

Goodnight
Sleep tight
No more tears
In the morning
I'll be here

And when we say goodnight
Dry your eyes
Because we said goodnight
And not goodbye

We said goodnight
And not goodbye


4. OCTOBER

I can't run anymore -I fall before you
Here I am - I have nothing left
Though I've tried to forget -You're all that I am
Take me home - I'm through fighting it
Broken - Lifeless
I give up - You're my only strength
Without you - I can't go on
Anymore - Ever again

[Chorus]
My only hope - All the times I've tried
My only peace - To walk away from you
My only joy - My only strength
My only power - I fall into your abounding grace
My only life - And love is where I am
My only love

I can't run anymore - I give myself to you
I'm sorry - I'm sorry
In all my bitterness - I ignored
All that's real and true - All I need is you
When night falls on me - I'll not close my eyes
I'm too alive - And you're too strong
I can't lie anymore - I fall down before you
I'm sorry - I'm sorry

[Chorus]

Constantly ignoring
The pain consuming me
But this time - It's cut too deep
I'll never stray again

[Chorus] (x2)


5. LISTEN TO THE RAIN

Listen - Listen (x11)

Listen to each drop of rain - Listen - Listen
Whispering secrets in vain - Listen - Listen
Frantically searching for someone to hear
Their story before they hit ground
Please don't let go
Can't we stay for a while?
It's just too hard to say goodbye
Listen to the rain

Listen (x5)
Listen to the rain
Weeping

Listen (x7)

I stand alone in the storm - Listen - Listen
Suddenly sweet words take hold - Listen - Listen
Hurry - They say - For you haven't much time
Open your eyes to the love around you
You may feel you're alone
But I'm here still with you
You can do what you dream
Just remember to listen to the rain

Listen


6. DEMISE

(Instrumental)


7. ANYWHERE

Dear my love - Haven't you wanted to be with me?
And dear my love - Haven't you longed to be free?
I can't keep pretending that I don't even know you
And at sweet night - You are my own
Take my hand

[Chorus]
We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where love is more than just your name

I have dreamt of a place for you and I
No one knows who we are there
All I want is to give my life only to you
I've dreamt so long - I cannot dream anymore
Let's run away - I'll take you there

We're leaving here tonight
There's no need to tell anyone
They'd only hold us down
So by the morning's light
We'll be half way to anywhere
Where no one needs a reason

Forget this life
Come with me
Don't look back you're safe now
Unlock your heart
Drop your guard
No one's left to stop you

Now

[Chorus]


8. FARTHER AWAY

I took their smiles and I made them mine
I sold my soul just to hide the light
And now I see what I really am
A thief - A whore and a liar

[Chorus]
I run to you
And run away from this hell
Call out your name
Giving up - Giving in
I see you there
Still you are
Farther away

I'm numb to you - Numb and deaf and blind
You give me all but the reason why
I reach but I feel only air at night
Not you - Not love - Just nothing

[Chorus]

Try to forget you
But without you I feel nothing
Don't leave me here by myself
I can't breathe

[Chorus] (x2)

Farther away (x5)


9. MISSING

Please - Please forgive me
But I won't be home again
Maybe someday you'll look up
And barely conscious - You'll say to no one
Isn't something missing?
You won't cry for my absence - I know
You forgot me long ago
Am I that unimportant?
Am I so insignificant?
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

[Chorus]
Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't someone missing me?

Please - Please forgive me
But I won't be home again
I know what you do to yourself
I breathe deep and cry out
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?

[Chorus]

And if I bleed - I'll bleed
Knowing you don't care
And if I sleep just to dream of you
I'll wake without you there
Isn't something missing?
Isn't something

Even though I'm the sacrifice
You won't try for me not now
Though I'd die to know you love me
I'm all alone
Isn't something missing?
Isn't someone missing me?


10. BRING ME TO LIFE (ALTERNATE VERSION)

How can you see into my eyes like open doors?
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb
Without a soul
My spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

[Chorus]
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run
Before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

[Chorus]

Frozen inside without your touch
Without your love - Darling
Only you are the life among the dead

Bring me to life

[Chorus]

Bring me to life (x2)


11. BREATHE NO MORE

I've been looking in the mirror for so long
That I've come to believe my soul's on the other side
All the little pieces falling shatter
Shards of me too sharp to put back together
Too small to matter
But big enough to cut me
Into so many little pieces
If I try to touch her

And I bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe no more

Take a breath and I try to draw from my spirit's well
Yet again you refuse to drink like a stubborn child
Lie to me - Convince me that I've been sick forever
And all of this will make sense when I get better
But I know the difference
Between myself and my reflection
I just can't help but to wonder
Which of us do you love?

So I bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe - No
Bleed - I bleed
And I breathe
I breathe - I breathe
I breathe no more


12. FOREVER GONE - FOREVER YOU

I wanted you to be with me
For so long I don't even know why now
But now that I've given up on you
Defiantly you see me

Walking away I see the pain
You put me through - I see through you
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone - Forever you

There's something very wrong about this
I think you knew all along somehow
You'll only take me to change my mind
And leave me broken and defeated

So far away I see the truth
I see through you - I see through you
Now that I know the way you play
I don't want to

Walking away I see the pain
You put me through - I see through you
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone - Forever you

So far away I see the truth
I see through you - I see through you
Now that I know the way you play
I don't want to

Walking away I see the pain
You put me through
Lost in your game to change the same
Forever gone - Forever you


13. LIES (ALTERNATE VERSION)

Bind my limbs with fear
Choke me with tears
I won't die for you
You've been here before
And come back for more
But not this time

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

[Chorus]
Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie

Now I know the truth
I'm through fearing you
And I am free

You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

[Chorus]

Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known all along it was all a lie

Somebody tell me what made us all believe you
I should have known it was all a lie
I should have known it was all a lie


14. MY IMMORTAL (PIANO VOCAL)

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
I would give the very breath from my chest
To give you all the things that my mind couldn't bear
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
'Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won't leave me alone

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me

You used to captivate me
By your resonating light
Now I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts
My once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away
All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase

[Chorus]

I'd love to walk away and pull myself out of the rain
But I can't leave without you
I'd love to live without the constant fear and endless doubt
But I can't live without you

[Chorus]

Me - Me - All - Me - All


15. UNDERSTANDING (ACOUSTIC)

The pain that grips you
The fear that binds you
Releases life in me
In our mutual shame - We hide our eyes
To blind them from the truth that finds a way for who we are

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't scratch it all away

Lying beside you
Listening to you breathe
The light that flows inside of you - Burns inside of me
Cast me not away
Say you'll be with me
For I know - I cannot bear it all alone

Can't fight it all away
Can't hope it all away
Can't scream it all away
It just won't fade away

Can't wash it all away
Can't wish it all away
Can't cry it all away
Can't hope it all away


16. IMAGINARY (LONG INTRO)

Paper flowers (x2)

I linger in the doorway
Of alarm clock screaming
Monsters calling my name
Let me stay
Where the wind will whisper to me
Where the raindrops as they're falling tell a story

[Chorus]
In my field of paper flowers
And candy clouds of lullaby
I lie inside myself for hours
And watch my purple sky fly over me

Don't say I'm out of touch
With this rampant chaos - Your reality
I know well what lies beyond my sleeping refuge
The nightmare I built my own world to escape

[Chorus]

Swallowed up in the sound of my screaming
Cannot cease for the fear of silent nights
Oh - How I long for the deep sleep dreaming
The goddess of imaginary light

[Chorus]

Paper flowers (x2)


17. YOU

The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you
Goodnight

When we're together - I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you - I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness

You whisper to me
"Amy - Marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
Oh - You don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you
That you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you

So many nights I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me - I love myself
I never thought I would say this
I never thought there'd be
You
