I open my eyes, was that real or was I dreaming I dont hit the ground, but Im falling forever Im close to the edge and I want to just fly away To silence the voices, is this the only way? I bring you my dreams that inspire imagination They are nothing like yours, so I lock them away again I lie to myself and believe that Im healing The higher I climb, the longer I fall Crossing over burning bridges Theres nothing left of you inside my mind The hourglass is long and empty The time has come to break the chains of misery Crossing over burning bridges Theres nothing left of you inside my mind The hourglass is long and empty The time has come to break the chains of misery I remember skipping rocks across still waters And I remember chasing colors flying through thin air And I remember the water shone my first reflection I cant forget always waiting, I was wishing you were there You were never, never there Primadonna, she was sleeping with a stranger again Godforsaken and the savior hanging on the bedroom wall Contradictions, they manifest such deep resentmens in me Transparent one Im not naive and you, youre not holier than thou Amen Im inside you, I deny you I surround you, I defy you Hear the voices, they are godless No forgiveness, so relentless In the real world you feel real pain A never ending war inside, again and again Are you who you think you are, my life runs through your veins Try as you will, my son, try But you will not break the chains of misery I can feel anger rising like the sun rises every day that Im here Now and then you return to open the wounds again and again Screaming voices conspire and critique every breath I take I remember as a child I said I loved you I remember the silence was so deafening Im inside you, I deny you I surround you, I defy you Hear the voices, they are godless No forgiveness, so relentless In the real world you feel real pain A never ending war inside again and again Are you who you think you are, my life runs through your veins Try as you will, my son, try But you will not break the chains Ive been living to die, Im dying to live Im here to break the chains of misery Silence the voices, the critical voices The psyche of a child is a ravenous thing When nothings ever good enough, theres so much suffering Why do we run, theres no place to hide Tangled in the strand that can bury us alive Yes it can The spiral is up and down, twisting our fate around The bird in the cage sings a beautiful song Because its bound by the strand Alive in me, voices lie to me Its never good enough for them They always want more than I am You put your hand in the cage Now youre bleeding and the bird is free Apathetic apologies are the offerings As the world grows so cold suddenly Youre just another lost soul, so join me, join me Cause misery loves company Crossing over human bridges A child is born, hes looking up to me Were skipping rocks across the waters That rise above the depths of woe is me Crossing over human bridges A child is born, hes looking up to me Why do we run, theres no place to hide Tangled in the strand that can bury us... Were skipping rocks across the waters That rise above the depths of woe is me The spiral is up and down, twisting our fate around The bird in the cage sings a beautiful song cause its bound... Why do we run, theres no place to hide Tangled in the strand that can bury us alive Yes it can The spiral is up and down, twisting our fate around The bird in the cage sings a beautiful song Because its bound by the strand.
