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 pretending

but now i know she

never was and never will be

you don't know how you've betrayed me

and somehow you've got everybody fooled

without the mask where will you hide

can't find yourself lost in your lie 

i know the truth now

i know who you are

and i don't love you anymore

it never was and never will be

you're not real and you can't save me

somehow now you're everybody's fool 

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 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

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 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

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

i'm so tired of being here

suppressed by all of my childish fears

and if you have to leave

i wish that you would just leave

because 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

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've held your hand through all of these years

but you still have all of me

you used to captivate me

by your resonating light

but 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

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've held your hand through all of these years

but you still have all of me

i've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

and though you're still with me

i've been alone all along

now i will tell you what i've done for you

50 thousand tears i've cried

screaming deceiving and bleeding for you

and you still won't hear me

don't want your hand this time i'll save myself

maybe i'll wake up for once

not tormented daily defeated by you

just when i thought i'd reached the bottom

i'm dying again

i'm going under

drowning in you

i'm falling forever

i've got to break through

i'm going under

blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

so i don't know what's real and what's not

always confusing the thoughts in my head

so i can't trust myself anymore

i'm dying again

i'm going under

drowning in you

i'm falling forever

i've got to break through

so go on and scream

scream at me i'm so far away

i won't be broken again

i've got to breathe i can't keep going under
