Bring Me To Life

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 sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

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

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

Bring me to life
(I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

frozen inside without your touch without your love darling only you are the life among the dead

all this time I can't believe I couldn't see
kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
got to open my eyes to everything
without a thought without a voice without a soul
don't let me die here
there must be something more
bring me to life

(Wake me up)
Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up)
Wake me up inside
(Save me)
call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up)
bid my blood to run
(I can't wake up)
before I come undone
(Save me)
save me from the nothing I've become

(Bring me to life)
I've been living a lie, there's nothing inside
(Bring me to life)

My Immortal

I'm so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
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

[Repeat Chorus]

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me
I've been alone all along

[Repeat Chorus]

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


We're leaving here tonight

There's no need to tell anyone

They'd only hold us down

So by the morning 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 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


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]

Good Enough

Under your spell again 

I can't say no to you 

crave my heart and its bleeding in your hand 

I can't say no to you 


Shouldn't let you torture me so sweetly 

now I can't let go of this dream 

I can't breathe but I feel 


Good enough 

I feel good enough for you 


Drink up sweet decadence 

I can't say no to you 

and I've completely lost myself and I don't mind 

I can't say no to you 


Shouldn't  let you conquer me completely 

now I can't let go of this dream 

can't believe that I feel 


Good enough 

I feel good enough 

its been such a long time coming, but I feel good 


and I'm still waiting for the rain to fall 

pour real life down on me 

cause I can't hold on to anything this good 

enough 

am I good enough 

for you to love me too? 


so take care what you ask of me 

cause I can't say no

Lithium


Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.

Oh but God I want to let it go.


Come to bed, don't make me sleep alone.

Couldn't hide the emptiness, you let it show.

Never wanted it to be so cold.

Just didn't drink enough to say you love me.


I can't hold on to me,

Wonder what's wrong with me.


Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.


Don't want to let it lay me down this time.

Drown my will to fly.

Here in the darkness I know myself.

Can't break free until I let it go.

Let me go.


Darling, I forgive you after all.

Snything is better than to be alone.

And in the end I guess I had to fall.

Always find my place among the ashes.


I can't hold on to me,

Wonder what's wrong with me.


Lithium, don't want to lock me up inside.

Lithium, don't want to forget how it feels without...

Lithium, I want to stay in love with my sorrow.

Oh but God I want to let it go.

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

Before The Dawn

Meet me after dark again and I'll hold you

I am nothing more than to see you there

And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn 


If only night can hold you where i can see you, my love

Then let me never ever wake again

And maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn 


[Chorus]

somehow i know that we cant wake again from this dream

it's not real, but it's ours 


Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn 


Maybe tonight, we'll fly so far away

We'll be lost before the dawn 


[Chanting]


[Music Fades Out]

Missing

Whispered:

Can you stop, please?

Can you stop the fire?

You cant stop the fire,

you wont say the words.

Please, Please



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?


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?



Whispered:

Can you stop, please?

Can you stop the fire?

You cant stop the fire,

you wont say the words.

Please, Please



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?"


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?


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?



Whispered:

Can you stop, please?

Can you stop the fire?

You cant stop the fire,

you wont say the words.

Please, Please

My Last Breath

Hold on to me, love

You know I can't stay long

All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

Oh...

Can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?


Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light 

It ends here tonight


I miss the winter

A world of fragile things

Look for me in the white forest hiding in a hollow tree

(Come and find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears


Holding my last breath

Safe inside myself

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured light

It ends here tonight


Closing your eyes to disappear

You pray your dreams will leave you here

But still you wake and know the truth

No one's there


Say goodnight

Don't be afraid

Calling me, calling me as you fade to black


(Say goodnight...)

Holding my last breath

(Don't be afraid...)

Safe inside myself

(Calling me, calling me as you fade to black)

Are all my thoughts of you

Sweet raptured life

It ends here tonight


(Holding my last breath...)

(Safe inside myself...)

(Are all my thoughts of you...)

(Sweet raptured life it ends here tonight...)


(Holding my last breath...)

Everybody's Fool


Perfect by nature, icons of self-indulgence

Just what we all need

More lies about a world 


That never was and never will be

Have you no shame, don't you see me?

You know you've got everybody fooled.


Look here she comes now -

Bow down and stare in wonder.

Oh, how we love you

No flaws when you're

But now I know she -


Never was and never will be

You don't know how you betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled.


Without the mask

Where will you hide?

Can't find yourself,

Lost in your lies


I know the truth now

I know who you are

And I don't love you anymore


Never was and never will be

You don't know how you betrayed me

And somehow you've got everybody fooled.


Never was and never will be

Not for real that you can save me

And somehow now you're everybody's fool.
