Lately I've been drowning, drowning in my own sorrow
And the worst part is I'm drowning you with me
My dear, I'm sorry.
I can't let go but I need to be free even if it kills me
I need to learn how to be happy
I tried to save you but you don't want to be saved
So now I'm saying goodbye, but this is not the end

The way I feel when you look right through me
I feel the knives as they bury deep inside me
I never thought that they would ground me
After all these years your words still affect me
Your stupid tricks and lies are all consuming
I close my eyes and fall into the darkness
The night's my shelter, I shed my weakness
I can't become the man I thought I could be
The man that rises up and fights this with ease
There's so much suffering in my own head
The face I wear is just a mask to avoid your questions
I'm so much stronger without your opinions
Way beyond the dreams
of moving mountains
I find the clarity to all my problems
Because of you I felt like I was nothing
You cannot handle what I am becoming now
Do you hear what people call me
I am the earth mover that you set free
Can you see what the people can see
I am a martyr for the world that can't breathe
I try to be the best I can
It paid off
And now I've come to realise
The price of life is that we can't always be
In control of who we can be
We have to make the most of this

Even though I can't reclaim the words I said and the mistakes I've made,
I know I'm the best I've ever been in a long time
I walked a path of hell to lead me to redemption
The darkest evil was my own frustration
If there's one thing I've learned
Never let this beat you
You're better than this
I believe in you
Never back down
Pick yourself up off the ground
Where can you go?
When the path your walking
Caves beneath your feet
You've got to rise up
And fight the disease
Fight it for your life
Time goes so slowly when you're all alone, you're longing for freedom
To be set free from feeling like a burden
And facing regret for everyone you have hurt
You come to realise that what's done is done
Look to the future that's the place you call home
Where can you go?
When the path your walking
Caves beneath your feet
You've got to rise up
And fight the disease
Fight it for your life
You feel the weight removed and warmth hit your heart
to find acceptance that you are who you are
You come to realise you're lucky to live
No matter what you throw at me I'm not coming apart
There must be something more to this
There must be something more than misery
Negativity won't help you reach your dreams
Only you can save yourself
From the past that haunts you
Don't listen to your foes they'll try to change you
Where can you go?
When the path your walking
Caves beneath your feet
You've got to rise up
And fight the disease
And fight the disease
You never thought that this day would come
The day you saw the light and saw what you had done
Your future waits for you so reach out and take it

Try and try again,
Failure, my only friend
Take my only dream
Wash it away
Rest your weary head in the arms of your creator
There's no shame in being afraid of chasing your dreams
I don't have the heart to carry on anymore
Constant burden of expectation from those who surround me
Oppressor, I can feel your words in my head
Betrayer, I can feel your hands around my neck
I'm suffocating I can feel the light fading
And although I try to hold on to these hopes and dreams
I feel like they will be the end of me
The harder I try, the more I fail, that's the way it's always going to be
It's a fact of life that I'll never be who I want to be
But I've got to keep trying
I'll never give up
I'll never lose hope
Never lose your faith in what you can achieve
Don't listen to the words of those that don't believe
Never lose your faith in what you can achieve
Don't listen to the words of those that don't believe in you
They don't understand what they see
You're the shepherd for the weak
You are the voice for the people that can't speak
I have found my dreams are shelter
Against the world they will not falter any more

What have I become?
That I'd never have to question
The facts in front of me
I'm all alone and it feels enlightening
You mean nothing to me
How can you when I can't believe
I remember how you ran away
I begged and cried I asked you to stay
I kept running after you
But instead I found the truth
You take the credit for a heroes actions
I came to see you're just a coward
Where were you when I needed you?
Sometimes we lose ourselves in the feelings of anger and rage,
not at the people around us, but at ourselves, and what we have become
We strive to become better and better but in the end we just become bitter
My crumbling heart is recovering from all the years of suffering
My aching body is feeling numb from all the pressure the world puts on me.
Crucify my heart with words that you preach, not a second thought for those too weak
Crucify my heart with words that you preach, not a second thought for those too weak to
Take control and see the path they create to feel alive
No higher power or the hands of fate
The life you live is the one you make
My crumbling heart is recovering from all the years of suffering
My aching body is feeling numb from all the pressure the world puts on me.
I lost my way in life
I tried to find you
But you weren't there to listen
And I grew tired of trying
I tried to be the martyr
But I can't keep it up any longer
You took my heart and soul to fuel the machine
But now I'm free I know my conscience is clean
It goes on and on, day after day
You try to make me fear the rest of the world
Through your lies and beliefs that you were told
A higher power from a story that you were sold
