Every mountain we've climbed, every day, everyone
Everything that we are will one day be undone
And the void within me screams for someone to hear
But the darkness is something they all learned to fear
(Sometimes)
When I open my eyes in the dark
I set my mind free, let it lark
Though my home is so far and my heart's made of chrome
In my dreams I am back home
(In flames)
Built a world, rolled the dice, let it burn
And the fire taught me all I'll ever learn
When the shades and the hues became one with night
Did I forsake my last light?
Was it hate that made me, or did love have a say?
Can't the ones I once loved still be with me today?
I'm afraid that you'll leave like the ones before you
But when they tried to shoot they found out I outdrew
Bold and brave for the ones who can't see
All the pain and the loneliness in me
I was stabbed in the back, all they see is my shame
But they'll come to know my name
(As dark)
As dark as the world may now be
If you looked at me I'm sure you would see
It was pain that broke me, there is hope deep inside
Though my faith is still untried
You're the one on the branch with your ten thousand friends
I'm the one on the ground trying to make my amends
And you'd beg me to trust that you'd stay by my side
Then I called for your arms, and my call was denied
Now, I know who you are and I've been here before
And I did pray for love, just not for an encore
'Cause the heart that you found was already done for
And you know I can't fly, don't expect me to soar
Night is darkest before a new day
In the light of the dawn the whole world's made of clay
It's a shame everyone writes a tale of their own
And the truth becomes unknown
(They see)
The most beautiful soul in the world
With your dreams untouched and your blonde hair curled
Even if you could die, there would be a new morn
And I know you'd be reborn
(And me)
Every cross I would bear on my back
Pain and hate to paint my frail heart black
Every path that i walked, had to walk on my own
So tell me that I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
