IMPOSTER
It’s coming undone, this world that I made
I feel it descending now
The place that I run, or what I run from
The boundary begins to fade
Every word’s a trap to your lies
Every life you try to save dies
You hold the truth like a knife
You couldn’t leave it behind
You’re my imposter
I’m a shadow lost deep inside
Now how does it feel, as you crawl away
The damage you left for me
I drink from your gaze, a new masquerade
I feel your disease growing
You need a villain to save
You left me here in my grave
You came and took it away
This innocence that I cannot replace
Tell me that you were never real
You need another soul to steal
You’re my imposter
You tell me you were never really real
Imposter, my imposter
Imposter, imposter
Tell me that you were never real
You need another soul to steal
You’re my imposter
You tell me you were never really real
Shadow And Soul
This is not for you
You don’t belong here
Caught in my soul
Caught inside the shadow
Buried, I kept you
Helpless, I’m reaching out
Waiting for me
Lost between
Shadow and soul, my untold still waits
Find me in the dark, I’ll meet you below
Shadow and soul
My darkest love
You live in secret
My heart unknown
It calls, it cries to reach you
Hunger, abandon
I hid you right beneath
Dying darkly (suffer)
Arise, my only
Shadow and soul, my untold still waits
Find me in the dark, I’ll meet you below
Shadow and soul
Dark and light
Caught between, caught between
Endless night
Underneath, underneath
Hunger, my untold, I’m waiting
Find me inside, the endless night, our endless night
My furtive soul
A heart unknown
It’s buried alive
The boundary fades between
Shadow and soul
My untold still waits
Find me inside
The endless night
Our endless night

DARKEST PART
You dragged the depths of my soul until you found it
A darkened room locked away, I let you in
You looked inside then you turned away
My makeshift savior, He left me right here in my chains
But still I whisper
(I’m calling out)
Still I call you
I never wanted you to see
The darkest part of me
I knew you’d run away
I waited, but you never came
So afraid to be alone
I tried to let you go
Still I find you
Lost inside the darkest part of me
It’s my descent, a familiar pain
Of watching all I believed fade away
Of traitors and fools
Of beggars and thieves
Which mask will you choose
What is underneath
I never wanted you to see
The darkest part of me
I knew you’d run away
I waited, but you never came
So afraid to be alone
I tried to let you go
Still I find you
Lost inside the darkest part of me
Am I the black stain of your perfect life
Am I the darkness that you need to hide
It covers you
It spills over you
I never wanted you to see
The darkest part of me
I knew you’d run away
I waited, but you never came
So afraid to be alone
I tried to let you go
Still I find you
Lost inside the darkest part of me
Fight To Forget
You’re a monster in my mind
You’re the one I can’t leave behind
You crawled inside, I watched you die
Did you think that you could bury me
Your love is a lie
I will fight to forget
Your love is a knife
I will die to forget
Did you get what you want from me
You weren’t the one that I thought you’d be
Everything it cost, everything I lost
Did you think that you could erase me
Your love is a lie
I will fight to forget
Your love is a knife
I will die to forget
I will fight to forget you
I will die to forget you
Let me go, let me go
You’re abandoned
You’re broken down
Your sickness, blame it on me
Your hopelessness
Your insanity
You’re screaming, blame it on me
Your love is a lie
I will fight to forget
Your love is a knife
I would die to forget
I will fight to forget you
I will die to forget you

OF THESE CHAINS
So here we are at the end now
I need to leave but I only want to stay with you
You never asked to be the one to set me free
Another mask you wore that only I could see
Let me take you when I go, when I go
I don’t wanna do this on my own, on my own
I’m breaking free, but of these chains
Let this one remain
Let me take you when I go
I can still feel you here now in this cage
Every link another piece of you I saved
Afraid to open up the door to who I was before
And if I let go of these chains now will I float away
Can I just hold on
Let me take you when I go, when I go
I don’t wanna do this on my own, on my own
I’m breaking free, but of these chains
Let this one remain
Let me take you when I go
FALLING SKY
Now it falls all around me
Did I think I could run away
Now it’s coming to find me
This war that I deserve
Now it burns across this shattered earth
I lift my eyes to fire
Under a falling sky
Hopeless, there’s nowhere to hide
The terror is real this time
Under a falling sky
I’m under, I’m under
A falling sky
There you are, so far away
Did you think I was fighting you
I only wanted to carry you so far away from here
The nightmare bleeds
The poison seeps
I hear you call
You’re screaming, screaming
Under a falling sky
Hopeless, there’s nowhere to hide
The terror is real this time
Under a falling sky
I’m under, I’m under
A falling sky
My fate it rains, it rains like cinders
The cadent drums, the war it comes
Growing thunder, terror, wonder
Falling, falling
It’s falling, falling
Under a falling sky
The terror is real this time
It’s over now, it’s over now
The terror is real
I’m under, I’m under
A falling sky
Under a falling sky
I’m falling, I’m falling
The terror is real this time
I’m falling, I’m falling
Under a falling sky
I’m falling, I’m falling

Yours Again
I can almost feel you breathing
Like a whisper in my ear
I remember how you lost me
Or how I lost you
I stare into the blackness
It’s staring back at me
Why did I try to live without you
I want you, I need you
Open up my eyes
I need your light again
Burning me inside
I need your love again
I can feel our hearts collide
I can feel our hearts ignite
Open up my eyes
I’m yours again
Will I wake up from this moment
Will I see you slip away
Or is this a new beginning
Of beauty and rage
Where did I lose my passion
When did I start to fade
Without you my world is darkness
I won’t let go again
Open up my eyes
I need your light again
Burning me inside
I need your love again
I can feel our hearts collide
I can feel our hearts ignite
Open up my eyes
I’m yours again
I’m yours again, I’m yours again
I’m never letting go, I’m never letting go, I’m never letting go
I’m yours again, I’m yours again, I’m yours again
Open up my eyes
I need your light again
Burning me inside
I need your love again
I can feel our hearts collide
I can feel our hearts ignite
Open up my eyes
I’m yours again
What You Keep Alive
You should be afraid of me
Pain is the promise I will keep
I am the whisper in the dark
I am the scream when you fall
And you will feel the pain, you’ll see
And I will bring the pain you need
You keep me alive (so I can hurt you)
You need me inside (I’m what you keep alive)
You picked me up, you watched me shine, like a razor in your hand
And when I cut beneath your skin, you want it all again
I am the call in the night
I am the truth behind your lie
And now you’ll feel the pain, you’ll see
You keep me alive (so I can hurt you)
You need me inside (I’m what you keep alive)
Turning, the knife is turning now
I can’t pay this ransom (my love, my enemy)
Does any hope remain (I’m swimming in your veins)
My love, my enemy (now you can’t escape)
I can feel you in my veins (the pain is on its way)
And now it’s too late (now I’m letting go)
You should’ve run away (I’ll watch you suffocate)
Now you can’t escape
I am the dark and I am awake
(Suffocate)
Waking, the nightmare bleeds, over
I’ll fight you, your darkness, feeding
I keep you alive (so I can hurt you)
I lift the knife (I’m what you keep alive)
Now you can’t escape (suffocate, suffocate)
You will feel the pain (suffocate, suffocate)

Gravity Lies
Take it away, I never thought I’d let it grow
This cancer inside, the villain plays the victim so well
Make me believe, I drink the lies, this suicide
Just put me to sleep, fall over me
Lies, lies, lies
I taste the
Lies, lies, lies
Fight, while I’m alive
I see you now
No less than light
Break, you’re falling away
Gravity lies
I feel it die
Gravity dies
Buried alive, an innocence cannot withstand this
Language of lies, to poison all the words you swallow
Wait for the scream, you realize it’s all a lie
And still you betray, I’ll throw you away
Lies, lies, lies
I drink the
Lies, lies, lies
Fight, while I’m alive
I see you now
No less than light
Break, you’re falling away
Gravity lies
I feel it die
Gravity dies
Fight, while I’m alive
I see you now
No less than light
Break, you’re falling away
Gravity lies
I feel it die
Gravity dies
I feel you now
Gravity lies
I feel it die
Your gravity dies
Take Me Over
Traces of your voice
I know it, I know it so well
Waking in the storm
I can feel you, I can feel you with me
Can I go again
Oh your reckless, your reckless life goes
I cannot defend, this untamed heart is waiting
I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further
Take me over, take me over
Find my life ahead
Oh I don’t know, I don’t know where
But I’m starting on my way
Will you meet me, will you meet me there
Echoes in the night
Like a melody is haunting me
But then I meet your eyes
With the fire of a rising sun
I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further
Do you believe a life can change
Take me over, Take me over
I am standing on the edge
Take me over, take me over
See how fast this life can change
Take me further, lead me further
Take me over, take me over

The Ever
I didn’t know the things that I could do
I didn’t know how much I could lose
Why did I forget so easily
Why couldn’t I see I had everything
But you saw more
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them, awake in me
And through your eyes
You showed me everything
You woke me up inside, brought back to life
I lost myself, but now I breathe again
Like a poet without pain
Like a beauty without rage
Like an innocence without a life to save
Like a hope without a slave
Like your eyes without a face
Like an instinct with no other life to take
It’s beauty and rage
But you saw more
You saw my deepest part
With the light of a thousand stars
You saw them, awake in me
And through your eyes
You showed me everything
You woke me up inside, brought back to life
I lost myself, but now I breathe again
Part That's Holding On
It all looks different now
But it was right in front of me
The memories fall around
Of everything I used to be
Can I let it go
When I still feel your echoes
I watched you disappear
But I can’t make myself believe
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, all alone
I couldn’t stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There’s still a part
A part that’s holding on
Can we call it fair
Or was it just a dire game
Who’s the winner now
When I can’t even speak your name
Caught inside the dream
When you were reaching back for me
Did you get lost inside
Or did you disappear
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, all alone
I couldn’t stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There’s still a part
A part that’s holding on
Never tried to see
What it’s like to be
The one who lost it all
Did you find your way
Is there still a place
Is there a part of you
That’s holding on
Still holding on
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, where’d you go
I gave it all
But you were fading
Where’d you go, all alone
I couldn’t stay
Another fall, through the dark
Of the shadows
I reached for you, only you
There’s still a part
A part that’s holding on
A part that’s holding on
