VERSE 1
The clock ticks,
Louder with every stroke,
And its clear,
Time cannot be controlled,
I lie here, embedded in deep remorse for confrontations past
Too late, It dawned that I lost resolve,
And my pride,
It took your light from my soul,
Now my fear,
Has left me with nothing more than pain to show for all these years.
I misplaced my time,
Every second feels so slow when you keep preying on my mind.
CHORUS
In the embers I can always find,
A million things to keep you coming back to me,
When I'd sooner have kept you far.
They say a wound will mend in time,
But the scars remain left to remind me everyday,
That my failure will never fade away.
VERSE 2
Disputes, that caused us to separate,
Confused, the line between love and hate,
The sad truth is trivial things ignored can soon consume and escalate.
If i had the time,
I'd destroy the veil of silence we inflicted on our lives.
CHORUS
In the embers I can always find,
A million things to keep you coming back to me,
When I'd sooner have kept you far.
They say a wound will mend in time,
But the scars remain left to remind me everyday,
That my failure will never fade away.
BRIDGE
If my only crime here was denial,
I could have let my pain subside,
But I held so much worse inside,
I couldn't let myself respite
Im out of time
Your suicide it cut right through me and left me with deep desire.
The fear of dying lonely,
It kills me inside.
CHORUS
In the embers I can always find,
A million things to keep you coming back to me,
When I'd sooner have kept you far.
They say a wound will mend in time,
But the scars remain left to remind me everyday,
That my failure will never fade away.

Oblivion

VERSE 1
A struggle from deep within,
So desperate just to give in,
Your strength halts my suicide,
That one thing keeps me alive
CHORUS 1
If I fade into oblivion,
No one's there to hold you when,
You lose the will to love again.
Words you held on close to then,
Do their best to save you when,
You lose your strength to live
VERSE 2
Destroyed in all but my name,
Insidious mental decay,
Growing increasingly frail,
Our lives are marred by my shame
Assigned to labels deemed fit,
So hard to live for each day,
A future looking more bleak,
Purges all reasons to stay.
CHORUS 2
If I fade into oblivion,
No one's there to hold you when,
You lose the will to love again.
Words you held on close to then,
Do their best to save you when,
You lose your strength to live
If I fade into oblivion,
No one's there to hold you when,
You lose your strength to live again
BRIDGE
Remember me, our memories,
Recourse for my behaviour,
Easy to see, mortality,
Is able to let me go.
To leave you is accepting all that we've known,
Instincts about to let go
I tried so hard,
To paint a picture of me,
Your reminder of me
OUTRO
Let me, let me be free
Allow all my fears
To just disappear
That you denied from me
I tried to cling on
To our memories
But it slipped away
From me, from me,
Just let me go
Let me save my soul
And fade away
Just me go

VERSE 1
Take a look at me and tell I am what you want to be
Shall I hide the truth to spare you from your broken dreams
Should I play along to save my fragile dignity
I won’t let you break me down
I can’t be everything
Is there something that you want from me
Keep your dreams, just let me be
I won’t let you break me down
CHORUS
And I still don’t know where, where to find truth
And I still don’t know where I become you
VERSE 2
Turn around to see its you that fuels and spurns my apathy
Am I everything you worked to build me up to be
Do believe your life is my priority
I won’t let you break me down
You can be anything
Just don’t expect a fucking thing from me
You cut your veins so I could bleed
I won’t let you tie me down
CHORUS
And I still don’t know where, where to find truth
And I still don’t know where I become you
And I still don’t know where, where to find truth
And I still don’t know where I become you
BRIDGE
You manipulated my young mind
Said that your love would always be mine
Told me you’d always be there for me
But you lied
So I learned to keep my pain inside
Played you games so I would survive
All of those years that you tortured me
You confined an innocent child
CHORUS
And I still don’t know where, where to find truth
And I still don’t know where I become you
And I still don’t know where, where to find truth
And I still don’t know where I become you

VERSE 1
I trusted you like a father
Believe every word you say
I’ll follow in your footsteps
I’ll follow you to the grave
Now I can see, all I need is to feel that I’m strong.
You laid the seed, and I believed that my life was wrong.
I couldn’t run, I was alone I couldn’t take my time
You made me scared that my life (it) wasn’t mine.
CHORUS
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
VERSE 2
You offered me redemption to save my soul
You offered me your hand to cling to but I let go
Now I find, the strength inside is all that I need,
Give me time to change my mind and maybe you’ll see,
Behind my cries this restless mind, it lives peacefully,
I’ll will fight, I’ll survive.
CHORUS
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
BRIDGE
Now I can leave, I can feed my envious mind,
I am free to believe after all this time,
I can see without this veil that has kept me blind
I can be, I can breathe
OUTRO
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
Close your eyes
Is it me you hold inside?
When your conscience leaves you
I’ll be the one to cling to
