If I had thought, sought, to go express all my love
How my friend would you look back at me then?
These pointless words hurt and waste the time that we share
Music sings so cleanly gracing the air
Until you’re pained, stained, from head to toe in your love
All the shades will fade away in the haze
The music shouts out alone and topples me down
Fate itself just turns its head as it laughs at me now
A hollow gaze, dazed, their life just ticking away
The masses sing their praisе and closely follow the same
It’s such a wastе, shame, the music pours in my brain
An old tune that carries no weight
If you had thought, sought, to go express all your love
Then, my friend, is that a choice you’ll defend?
Don’t close your eyes and lie, I’ll guide your hand to the light
I’ll sing and shout ‘til this life burns out I--
I think and cherish that forgotten story, unknown are its glories
Moving close I grasp it just barely unbreaking through tears and the aching
If I could plead with all these empty emotions that just don’t mean a thing
With this old heart that seems on the verge of just breaking from all the aching
I couldn’t talk and just swallowed all of the words down, yes here once again--
Just let me shout it!
If my life is thrown away forgotten by the side
Then could I here at the end sing of this love inside?
One more time, would it be fine if I could try to find?
One last sign of life stuck in the voice that I had left behind?
Look at me, can you see the one I try to be?
Look at me, can you see the one I try to be?
This fool that couldn’t take it, the aching
The garbage thrown there to their side, I hate it
Through the pain if they still could love it all the same
Through the pain if they wished to find love anyway
Ah, maybe then it all was me, the days had all had meaning
Pick me up, pick me up again (x4)
Hey, if you’re gunna share all your love
Well then tell me my friend who will you meet at the end?
Stuck in a box, locked, I’ll free your heart with a knock
Come you’re free, a fellow failure like me
If I could try, dye, myself the color of love
Come on tell me my friend just what hue was it then?
The pain of being alone hurts cause it never will show
This heart’s a cage I built never knowing
Drowning in fakers from all of the aching
But here at the end of life
Lie l-lie lie
All those who had left us here heartless and filled with fear
Threw it all to the side
Bye b-bye bye
The person who was by my side was left alone in here to die and
Try hard not to break or cry oh
Why oh why oh
I had knew it deep down inside
That you had always stood to fight
Protecting this place we hide, there by my side
I’ve grown to take it, the pain welling in me, the breaking and hurting
Joy, grief, rage, and pleasure, they all blend together, through every endeavor
If happiness that I cherish is real and is out there somewhere lost on this earth
Will I wander forever and ever in agony in this darkened and cold world
As the blackened, the sheep that will never belong anywhere as I live forever?
--Don’t leave me like that!
How could I grow to adore this world surrounding me?
Tell me will I just keep on rolling on eternally?
Hey I think I’ll take these feelings no one ever wants
Give this world a chance and share them all now with this final song
Look at me, what exactly do you want to be?
Look at me, can you tell me what you long to see?
My heart breaks apart, however it still burns
On now more than any other
Look at me, can you see the one I try to be?
Look at me, can you see the one I try to be?
Is there light out piercing through the night
Guiding me on to my life?
(Fall into a love without a care or why
Growing round the center to a greater size
Bursting with a taste that’s just too sweet to fight
Such a sneaky kind of two faced lie
Hold their body down so you consume their mind
Staring at a place sunk deep beneath the eye
Now there’s someone there for you to love in kind
Not like I would mind)
(One more time, one more time
“Once again today this girl will keep on rolling”
So she says, so she says
Picking out her words that she uses as a cover
“Are you fine?” “No, not quite this time”
“Everywhere I’m looking the future is out of sight”
For now I’ll try to stop breathing.)
Hey if you’re gunna shout out your love
Know that my friend, I’ll be here for you then
These pointless words, hurt, but yet it never will stop
Ever this dream will carry on and
If I had thought, sought, to go express all my love
Take my want and put it all in this song
That story lost to all will be reborn now anew
It seems that once again I’ll be humming the same tune
How my friend would you look back at me then?
These pointless words hurt and waste the time that we share
Music sings so cleanly gracing the air
