Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Along the way I find myself to be confined within me
No place for any others mind to interfere
To grasp the meaning of it all, to overcome my limits
And dance away from any void and empty tones
[Verse 2]
Just tell me why
Just tell me how I can survive this time
[Verse 3]
Believe yourself and look away from all that's right within you
Leave all your worries at the door and drift away
I've tried to peer into the core, but could not storm the sorrow
My hollow heart has bled me dry, left me to stray
[Verse 4]
Another time
Without a trace
Condemned me now
Send me to Hell for I'm already falling
[Verse 5]
Intertwine the lines that swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in, demonize the need we reel in
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unendin'
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
[Verse 6]
No time to ever go to waste, it's not that complicated
You're free to live your life at ease, no more restraints
No heed for shadows on your way that try to steel your laughter
Your light will drive them all away, be confident
[Verse 7]
Will I refrain?
Can I repent?
Will you be there?
Erase the page for I'm alone and ailing
[Verse 8]
Intertwine the lines that swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in, demonize the need we reel in
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unendin'
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
[Verse 9]
So
This is my life and it can't break me down
Go, I will decide
Who can come in and heal my disease
[Verse 10]
Burn it in flames, kill it and maim
Why can't you see that you need to be freed
[Verse 11]
Intertwine the lines beneath the dark
Every bit of pain we're feelin', every other solemn life
In the memories you will find somehow
There used to be a dream unendin', no more need to be alone
[Verse 12]
Intertwine the lines that swim beneath the dark
Realize the pain we live in, demonize the need we reel in
In my memories I'll dig deep enough to know
Centuries of dreams unendin'
Another me that yielded tears when someone had betrayed
[Verse 13]
Someone had betrayed
