Broken down I’ve given up on everything
I have found the truth in your lies
Letting go of all these excuses
half-hearted promises have opened my eye to the pain
and this emptiness we’ve become
now I’m not afraid
Of these empty rooms, all these cracks on the ceiling
They all know me by name, I can hear them calling me out, tearing me down
whispering words like knives that cut me right down to my veins
I won’t be denied and I can’t bleed
I just keep on into the Grey
Grey, Grey
Walking away, from the damage and innocence betrayed
I set fire to your memory and then just walk right through the flames
of all these wasted years and all this faded time
But I can’t believe and I can’t deny
I just keep on pushing away from this pain and this emptiness we’ve become
now I’m not afraid
All these empty rooms, all these cracks on the ceiling
They all know me by name, I can hear them calling me out, tearing me down
whispering words like knives that cut me right down to my veins
I won’t be denied and I can’t bleed
I just keep on into the
Grey
I just keep on into the Grey
All these empty rooms, all these cracks on the ceiling
They all know me by name, I can hear them calling me out, tearing me down
whispering words like knives that cut me right down to my veins
I won’t be denied and I can’t bleed
I just keep on into the Grey

There’s a chill in the air and it’s calling me out by my name
There’s a whispering wind and its telling me I am to blame
All the promises broken, all the things that I swore I would do
Left me out in the cold, left me standing here waiting for you
I’m waiting for you
There is blood in the water and its soaking right into my bones
There’s a knock at the door, God I wish it would leave me alone
I’ve been running for shelter but there’s nobody home
I’ve been running all night, I’ve been running too long
I’ve been searching for hours, I’ve been searching for days
Seems the closer I get, the further you fall away
I’m changing colors, yeah I’m shedding my skin
I’m on the last page, but this story don’t end
Through this hell the only thing that I’ve found
Is what goes up, doesn’t always come down
There’s a scarecrow singing in the dead of the night
He stands all alone but he feels so alive
Just a shadow of a man past the point of no return
And the world is on fire, the scarecrow watches it burn
I’m changing colors, yeah I’m shedding my skin
I’m on the last page, but this story don’t end
Through this hell the only thing that I’ve found
Is what goes up, doesn’t always come down

Let it go
Words come so easy, slipping form the tip of your tongue
They fall down on deaf ears and never see the light of the sun
They just keep coming back to you babe, coming back to you babe
You burned every memory, set fire to everything that you know
Washed your hands at the sight of you and still you can’t let it all go
It just keeps coming back to you babe, coming back to you babe
But don’t stop now, it’s not too late
to step into the water, hope is the light that will guide your way
And all this hate, you’ve bottled up inside you
Don’t let it define you another day
Rise up again, like a phoenix to the flame and burn it all down to the ground
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down
Pride leaves you hollow and finds a way to keep you down
It just keeps coming back to you babe, coming back to you babe
But don’t stop now, it’s not too late
to step into the water, hope is the light that will guide your way
And all this hate, you’ve bottled up inside you
Don’t let it define you another day
Rise up again, like a phoenix to the flame and burn it all down to the ground
Burn it down, burn it down, burn it down

ONE, TWO take a look at you
THREE FOUR standing beside my door
FIVE SIX, wearing your crucifix again
SEVEN EIGHT, darling don’t be late
NINE TEN, bring it all back again
Until it leaves you there lying naked on the floor
Can you climb from out of this darkness and turn yourself into the light?
Can you suffer through all this bleeding or is you armor strong enough to dull this pain
Can you spark and rage into a fire
Can you burn just like a whisper through their soul
Can you offer any redemption
Or will they take away from you the only thing that ever, ever made you whole
Now at the alters of your father, so blindly laid wasted
And poisoned by the memories of their lies
Now gather saints and sinners, who polish their convictions
with a truth that’s only witnessed by the blind
Can you climb from out of this darkness and turn yourself into the light?
Can you suffer through all this bleeding or is you armor strong enough to dull this pain
Can you spark and rage into a fire
Can you burn just like a whisper through their soul
Can you offer any redemption
Or will they take away from you the only thing that ever, ever made you whole

Walls

Broken pieces to the puzzle still remain
just like fingerprints refusing to explain
All this time we’ve wasted and all these tears we’ve tasted
left by everything that made them feel alive
Empty promises that were taken to the grave
left behind by souls who were never meant to save
All these wasted hours, marked by wilted flowers
that disguise the truth that hides within a lie
And the walls come down, stone by stone
hidden so long that they’ve come undone
what you left inside no longer hides
the fear of the unknown
and you tried so hard to hold it in
you left yourself exposed
left you there despite the great unknown
the great unknown
And the more I try, the more I’ve come to recognize all the reasons
You let it all go, you let it all simply fade away
So burn my eyes, render me asunder, take me down let me feel this thunder
Let it all go, let is all simply fade away
And the walls come down, stone by stone
hidden so long that they’ve come undone
what you left inside no longer hides
the fear of the unknown
and you tried so hard to hold it in
you left yourself exposed
left you there despite the great unknown
the great unknown
