when you're gone

Did I wait too long?
Moments gone and now wasted
Coming back to home
It feels wrong, changes haunt me
Ends I came before
Leave me lost, confused, searching
Everything I own
Takes me back nowhere

Objects in my room
They might be telling me something soon
Still you ask me how I feel
I feel lost - that’s how I feel

I know, I know
There's something I've forgotten
Like a time, a place
A shattered memory
For me it's more
Than I can seem to handle
It's the pain, my mind
Is writing on the wall
The truth, you lied
You said it can convince you to
Give up, this place
Will never set me free
Enough, I know
I really did it this time
It's a sign, this place
Is somewhere I should be

Taking a piece of my heart
When you're gone

Are my eyes too blind
To find illusions from deep inside, growing?
What I lost to find
And what I find brings me here

I know, I know
There's something I've forgotten
Like a time, a place
A shattered memory
For me it's more
Than I can seem to handle
It's the pain, my mind
Is writing on the wall
The truth, you lied
You said it can convince you to
Give up, this place
Will never set me free
Enough, I know
I really did it this time
It's a sign, this place
Is somewhere I should be

Taking a piece of my heart
That's how it always starts
When you're gone


acceptance


Time flows
Nobody knows
The years go by
Where we go
Alone from here

Night falls
Strange-colored walls
My eyes deceive
What is wrong
With me?

Deep in the night you think everything's right
Tell it to yourself. Say it's just a nightmare
Something is telling you nothing can change where you are
Again

Why should it matter, your dreams of a child?
Innocence is gone. Only fear to play with
Faces are changing, but nothing is changing the pain
Too late

Two steps I take getting closer and closer
And one more breath I take sends me further back

Over and over it calls to your soul
Say it isn't so. Emptiness surrounds you
No one can help if the angels refuse to come here
Who's there?

Cold-faded photos, they lay by your side
Something in my room. Never mind blue reason
Visions are lying and reasons just live to survive
This time

The cold. The light
The fear returning
It's not the eyes
You feel that's chilling you


hell frozen rain


In your mind's eye lives a memory
Hard to find, blinded by sorrow
And her cold voice sings a melody
Hear her sing, hell frozen rain falls down

She can't hear your voice.
She can't hear you call
You have burned your choice
If you're here, can you prove you're really here?

There is a moment in time
When all the cards that you've played divide
You feel the temperature dive
And all your demons inside come crashing through

In your mind's eye lives a memory
Hard to find, blinded by sorrow
And a strange voice sings a melody
Hear it sing, hell frozen rain falls down

Everything is wrong
This is not my home, is it?
Do I know your face?
Does my mind wish to forget?

A toast to lonely souls
Who never could take control of life
And all the missing we love
I hope the darkness they find will give them light

In your mind's eye lives a memory
Hard to find, blinded by pain
And a cold voice sings a melody
Hear it sing, hell frozen rain

Our safe hearts feeling dangerous
Missing truth frozen in lies
Is your family just a memory?
Once again, hell frozen rain falls down

Of all these pieces of broken dreams
This one that scares and confuses me
If all these things that you say are true
You should be someone I always knew

In your mind's eye lives a memory
Hard to find, blinded by pain
And your father sings a melody
Hear him sing, hell frozen rain

Our safe hearts feeling dangerous
Missing truth frozen in lies
Are your loved ones just a memory?
Burning pain, hell frozen rain falls down
Down...

Life is cold here. Empty hallowed ground
In my head blood-colored rain falls down
