Evergreen Terrace - Burned Alive By Time (2002)

This is something I can't handle, I wish I had your strength
Just one ounce, just one ounce would make me warm again
Lessons in the wind
Time's cold hand affects me and bleeds me dry
I am beaten until my eyes are swollen shut
Carry the weight of your time, still moving
Standing up straight while confined, still proving
Swallowed by humility
Fear the new change coming
Still afraid to let it be, facing lifes uncertainty
Take the new change running
Only fear, comformity will change you! Открыть страницу с текстом

Take this moment to see what you've begun
Display this moment to see what you've become

All eyes must be on you
It's a pity you're addicted too
Now go ahead, manipulate them
Initiating doubt, a new dynamic found
By sharing all your weightless problems

All on the outside looking in

Take this moment to see what you've begun
Display this moment to see what you've become

Defined by what you sell, those lies packaged well
But you know that we can see right through you
Attention's wearing thin so type it out again
I hope this all made you happy

All on the outside looking in

Take this moment to see what you've begun
Display this moment to see what you've become

Forfeit all of your integrity for a temporary high
Lay it all out for the world to see
Manufacture one more lie Открыть страницу с текстом

This has come to end
In moments these flowers will bloom and rot
In moments your beauty, laid to waste

Your convictions felt
Your convictions denied
Your convictions felt

Waiting as I saw you fading
Like everything in time you weathered and you died
Waiting as I saw you fading
Like everything in time you weathered and you died

Pull the pedals and rot
Dead eyes for false lies Открыть страницу с текстом

Dying in this dead world
Bleeding, pass down the days gone
Surrender is your last acceptance
This fall just broke my hands
Forget wiping the slate, let's just destroy the past
Still alive with the knife as the blade digs your grave
My back bleeds
The curse is set the stone is cast
My back bleeds
From friends, to idols, to ashes
Friends... idols... ashes Открыть страницу с текстом

Busted scars cut wide open
Bleeding hearts drip to the floor
Waiting tender touches to heal unseen wounds

The brightest eyes can see right through me
Only her eyes are the remedy

Exit anger through affection
Exiting to your fingertips
Exit anger through addiction
Exiting to your fingertips

Trying hard to reach out and
Touch what's too far away
Distance will be the death for me
Replacement comes in the form of dreams Открыть страницу с текстом

Pride caused the fall
Like the ashes you came from
You'll burn the sky, and when you're gone, no one will cry
Drown the towns with apathy, set our hearts in water
Kill the scene with treachery, quenching all, all of our fires
When you're gone no one will miss you
And when you're dead no one will cry
Kiss your life goodbye
You believe in nothing Открыть страницу с текстом

I hope I never give up
So afraid I'll break the skin
Do you feel the pain I own?
Can you see the pain I love?
Wrap my arms around my dreams
Wake up to an empty room
When will I have hope?
When will I have hope again for this world I hate?
With every ounce of flesh I will strangle self to a new way, new way of life
Wrap my arms around this dream of apathy
Strange lust of self conceived inveracities
Never give in... never! Открыть страницу с текстом

Looking back, no regrets, just lies
Only pain in descriptions of despite

This will never be, you will never listen
Emotions break like glass when memories brush back
This will never be, breaking from this cycle, falls from the outside

I can't sleep with your dreams
I can sleep with my dreams

Looking back, no regrets, just lies
Only pain in descriptions of despite
While you're awake with nightmares of haunting
Did you forget something?
You forgot to say "goodbye"

This will never be, you will never listen
Emotions break like glass when memories brush back
This will never be, breaking from this cycle, falls from the outside Открыть страницу с текстом

This is everything you know, goodbye
Take my hand. Here it is
I will go. I'll be with you
I will go. I'll stay with you
See these scars?
They're for remembering
Priceless mistakes will steal everything
Who will be your voice?
Who will hear your cries?
Looking back I now know what makes us break
Fear of all things you don't understand
Remind me, this numbing has made me see
Remind me, this numbing has let me sleep
Remind me now
Looking back I can see I don't know anything
I just feel numb
I just feel numb Открыть страницу с текстом
