lyrics

The battle that rages inside of your mind
As you struggle to silence the fire
The flames of passion that seduce you
And fuel your desire to consume
All you've been given at once
Reaching out to grab a hold
Of the hand that would be my salvation
Just out of reach
I meet your eyes as your image fades away
And it seems I had been chasing nothing but a ghost

So tell me what do you believe
About the war inside my head
Innocence is dead
There is a monster in you

Someone please
Take my hand and guide me out of this place
Away from the memories and pain
Left to wonder yet again
What would the world be like if we were dead
And nothing but our ghosts were left

So tell me what do you believe
About the war inside your head
Innocence is dead
There is a monster in me

This perspective
Is not mine alone
So please open your eyes

With the fires all around us
How can we deny all we know?
Do we have to lose all that we had
Before we recognize our flaws?
So tell me what's the difference
Between the hero and the thief
To survive in this dying world
We all will struggle to stay free

There's nothing left for me
Just ruins and remains
And if you're listening
It's stopped making sense to me
