I never thought that it would ever come down to this Will you come and take this pain from me or have you come to set me free? And I was hoping you would be the one who came to save me Will you run and turn your back on me or have you come to be the one who sets me free? So this is it The world has finally won, its finally brought me to my knees How could I forget that its the fear that they seek And they feast on the weak And they beg and they scream for a chance of relief For one moment of speech. Look at me, Im not the man I used to be Look in my eyes, what do you see? Comfort in familiar surroundings Look at me, Im not the man I used to be If these walls could talk maybe youd see Im not the man I used to be. So bury your head with thoughts of regret And youll never expect water rising higher, making circles around your neck And they feast on the weak And they beg and they scream for a chance of relief For one moment of speech Will you take this pain from me? Will you take everything? Do you really think youre ready for whats ahead? I never thought that it would ever come down to this Set me free! Set me free! And I was hoping you would be the one who came to save me Will you run and turn your back on me or have you come to be the one who sets me free? I got these vampires leaving the city streets scarred For as long as I remember never seen no stars And like trapped behind bars never seemed so hard To simply let out and be whats within our hearts And I tried so damn hard to find the words to describe how I feel inside So for the last time my last regret My last words, my breath Follows me to the gallows beneath.
