Alone, blankly staring into space
An empty look upon his face
With nothing on his mind
Today, nothing left for him to see
A burnt out shell of what of should be
He might as well have died
Born of silence
Where there's no love
Where there's beauty inside but will wither away
Tears created
By all he's known
And he questions how he ended up this way
As a child I was raised not to care ‘bout anyone else
And it left me on my own
Kicking and screaming I run from nothing
I am learning to be, from what you've taught me
Drawn expressions
Show how to not care
Glaring down at the blank page in front of his eyes
His own words
Are symbols in stone
Showing nothing, he cannot look up to the sky
I lost all my dreams, they left be behind
The seed has been planted and will die inside of us
In losing the fight I'm giving you nothing
I am learning to be, from what you've taught me
Enigma, lost inside his mind
With nowhere to hide until he's back on track
Enigma, rendered blind
He is all alone until he learns to win them back
Guitar solo (Rich)
Here forever
Time running away
Life dissolving and fading to nothingness
Dusk ‘til morning
Not moving at all
Barely breathing, he could hardly be any less
All he's wanted
To be something more
He can't break from the nightmare that is his head
Trapped, unwilling
Unwilling
Artificial soul, lost in the life he's led
Looking for something inside to show me
As daylight wakens I will finally be free
Wisdom and truth are left to discover
I can conquer my fear by rising higher
Chorus (Jonny)
I can hope for a better way
Leaving myself in the dust
I can't be the one who toys with fate
‘cause how can I move forward when I don't
Know who to trust?
Rising and falling from the ashes
This world is nothing but a canvas for all
Our aspirations
Rising and falling from the ashes
This world is nothing but a canvas
For us all
