I wish for a rainy day Dark clouds so I don't have to feel the shame To take my time To rest my mind I wish for a rainy day Dark clouds so I don't have to feel the pain Of summer nights Without someone I wish for a rainy day Dark clouds so I don't have to feel the pain Of summer nights Without someone

Lights out, only blank expression A boy in silence, receives what's deserved On the precipice of desolation Eyes surround me, to see what I am Walls embrace me Thoughts that chase me On the precipice of desolation I realize and know I will be- Shining forces reaching in, embracing. A man, so set in his depraved ways The leaves turned grey though the sun's not setting Falling into another blackened void Reaping the seeds that I've sown amidst all of this self loathing Waves around me crashing down on delusions of ivory Wretched fool hanging on to every little dream Walls embrace me Thoughts that chase me On the precipice of desolation I realize and know I will be lost Lights out, focus Seek a purpose Lights out, focus Seek a purpose IN LIFE DECIDE WHAT'S I IN THEIR DESIGN I TRY TO SEE WHAT THEY WANT FROM ME As I drift away in my sleep I see a light, and find what I am Walls embrace me I'm lost inside, I try to find Something more to Make me feel, like I can breathe again (More to be a part of me to) (Make me feel like I can breathe again) (Those shining days are swept away in time) (I'm waiting for something)

Wounds afire Waning life, with nothing to unfold I hope it’s not too late… Too late to save my soul I wish I could leave these Empty nights, a silent house A sufferer of circumstance As daylight shines in The cycle rebegins Slave unto the hours I take comfort in denying truth When somehow I see the face A dream this can't be real My world starts to crumble Cracking at the seams What's happening to me? Hear the angels play their wicked symphony As my first look into those eyes Allowed me to see love Empty nights, dark desires Alluring smiles keep me bound Absent mind, machine of doubt Seed of life in blood-stained ground Falling through the answers Grasping for a lead Is this real or just a dream? In my head resounds the mad cacophony I volunteer in spite of pride In hope to feel alive Illuminated by your light Take me on your wings and fly away tonight Before we say goodbye Hold me close and tell me it will be alright Falling stars announce our dawn Align us to the sun In eternity be bound I cling to hope until the end Free your mind The bringer of lies A siren’s blight The herald of light Destroyer of hope Illuminated by your light Take me on your wings and fly away tonight Before we say goodbye Hold me close and come with me into the light

I have come to realize that All my years I had been waiting for you Didn't know that I could find a reason to try But now I feel alive For the first time in forever Let it go, lose your sorrows Heal the soul, and I wish you could know How I feel When I look into your eyes And it feels like this could last forever Take my hand Lead me to wonderland Close your eyes And let me see your smile Soaking in the light A sea of sunshine lies in our home Hesitation lifted from me Your salvation made you all I can see And I think I finally know your meaning behind To be two parts of one And I hope that this can last forever Forever!

(Ooh, the circle comes around, ephemeral you fly) (Away into the nights of my mind) (And as the days pass by, I feel I come alive) (More every time I lie) (That I'm fine…)

A WAY OUT, IS WHAT YOU WANT THIS TO BE CALLED But you just need to control AS THE SERPENT'S EMBRACE CAN NO LONGER SATISFY YOUR DESIRES I start to feel you're Chasing a dream you think can heal your wounded soul (a search for answers inside lives unable to decide) Erasing something deep inside OF ME And you say it's love I will always be your friend I'LL BE THE VICTIM OF YOUR RAGE I'll comfort you when you're afraid I'm your winterhound without a name Take me there Let me feel Teach me to Be the one Take me there, into your arms Let me feel, how you love Teach me to, ease your mind I'll be the one to take the pain from you I WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR FRIEND I'LL BE THE VICTIM OF YOUR RAGE I'LL COMFORT YOU WHEN YOU'RE AFRAID I'M YOUR WINTERHOUND WITHOUT A NAME Chasing a dream you think can heal your wounded soul (a search for answers inside lives unable to decide) Erasing something deep inside OF ME And you say it's love I will always be your friend I'LL BE THE VICTIM OF YOUR RAGE I'll comfort you when you're afraid I'm your winterhound without a name I will always be your friend I'll be the victim of your rage I'll comfort you when you're afraid I'm your winterhound without a name

Weakness in our hearts, We’ve gone too far, Darkness divine WE’RE TOO YOUNG Your somber embracing touch Our moments fading into dust The future, in shroud of lies This toxic presence fills Our LIVES! Open my soul and bring me to realize Help me to see the point of IT ALL! Whoaaaah! I never thought I’d Be another cog in the machine I wanted to be something More! So delusional WAKE UP! Work, eat, sleep and just repeat and... Noooooo! I don’t want to See another dream end in defeat I Thought this time I had Control! But I still can’t WAKE UP! And decide who I want to be! Indifference - my curse and pride So blissful, keep it all inside Illuminated by your light, Take me on your wings and fly away tonight Before we say goodbye Hold me close and feed me comfort through your lies... SHAME! MIND! PAIN! NIGHTS! NO! Forsaken to start again Farewell my friend without a name Sense of this hopeful dread Though I can see, my eyes stay dead We tell ourselves to stay Forever growing this decay A final gasp for breath - So this is how my story ends... (Ooh the memories are lost in time, And all that’s left is fear Now all that’s left is fear…) WHOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! ETERNAL EMBRACE OF DARK BREAKS MY WILL AND TAKES MY HEART Open my soul and bring me to realize Help me to see that in the end WE ARE WHAT WE’VE BECOME I’VE RESIGNED!!!

Tell me, why this hell Is the place I once called home? I know we said this would never end But leave me be On my own I'M FINE! Rip apart the veil so I can see What I've denied, it's all real Black tar seeping from the eyes of the child Unfazed by pain White light shining from her eyes as the fire's Embrace reclaims The innocence broken all those years before I've compromised my soul An open wound as the blood rushes out Embrace the pain I’ve reconciled with what You've become (Leave your dreams to die) TAKE MY HEART AND PIERCE IT RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES! (No more wasted lies) TAKE MY HAND AND LEAD ME BACK INTO THE NIGHT! So as we come to terms With what we have become I see what lies beyond The circle comes around, ephemeral you fly Away into the nights of my mind And as the days pass by I feel I come alive More every time I lie That I'm FINE All the secrets emerged into plain sight (Memories ‘come recontextualized) Fallen hero deluded in his plight (Embracing the dark) (Walls embrace me, I’m lost inside inside - I’ve tried to find Something more to make me feel like I can breathe again) IN SEARCH OF FIRE, MESSIANIC FORCE WE PLEASE THE LORD BRING RELEASE FROM THE LIGHT ENTRANCED BY DARK WALLS EMBRACE ME THOUGHTS THAT CHASE ME I'M WAITING FOR SOMETHING WAITING FOR SOMETHING SOMETHING! SOMETHING! SOMETHING! More to be a part of me to make me feel like I can breathe again Those shining days are swept away in time I'm waiting for something (Walls embrace me. I'm lost inside - I've tried to find Something more to make me feel like I could breathe again) MORE! And I'm so tired of speculating Of what could be, if I'd tried to change things You told me, "don't worry, I will be true" But I knew I would lose If I’d asked you to choose The circle comes around, ephemeral you fly Away into the nights of my mind And as the days pass by I feel I come alive More every time I lie That I'm fine The circle comes around, ephemeral you fly Away into the nights of my mind And as the days pass by I feel I come alive More every time I lie As the sun goes down on this age of dark I can be free And the winter lights reveal the truth To shine upon my dreams As the moon goes down on this age of cold I try to feel That same bliss from our summer nights But now rain is all I see And how I wish I'd lose these Tainted memories RESIGN THESE THOUGHTS AND BE SET FREE The circle comes around, ephemeral you fly Away into the nights of my mind And as the days pass by I feel I come alive But still I lie THE CIRCLE COMES AROUND AS ALL THE DREAMS HAVE DIED I FEEL NOTHING BUT PAIN INSIDE AND AS THE DAYS PASS BY I CAN'T ESCAPE YOUR SHINING LIGHT BURNING FOREVER IN MY MIND (So as we come to terms with what we've BECOME) BECOME I WILL DECIDE ALL MY DESIRES RETURN TO I I CAN REFORM MY HEART WITHOUT THORNS I CAN LIVE FREE OF YOUR LOVE AND BE FINE I have come to realize that All my years I would have wasted on you And I know now, all these songs would be Lost forever, inside of me The circle comes around, ephemeral you fly Away into the nights of my mind And as the days pass by I feel I come alive Though still you're on my mind But I'm fine
