Long story short I left my hear under your control and oh, I have my doubts and I feel ashamed And oh, I have my doubts I do feel ashamed for what I did down by the lake But nobody knows what went on down below but nobody knows what it took to let her go Go, speak to me if you think I'm listening beneath the ground is where I'm free go, speak to me if you think I'm listening laugh it off like you're relieved Long story short cut me up in all sorts and oh, I have my doubts and I feel ashamed Cut me up in all sorts I left my heart under your control (shudder now, the voice get's loud shudder now, you should be proud) And now it's come to this and all that I've learned is that our time is too precious to risk on a backwards life where you close your eyes and see nothing but emptiness Long story told (it's all my fault, don't blame her) long story told (forgive me please, dreary dreams) Night sky ambulance ride each led on my last goodbye bleak dawn hosptial rise everyone cries I meant to die I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you but it's alright

Early at the lake the moment to ease the pain the sky stained hopeless and grey it's here, forever I'll stay in the breeze in the breeze I'll sway Bleeding out I'll stain the pale ground red as Autumn going numb, in this feeling of falling Bleeding out I'll free myself from life in this head, from life in this hell The sky drips down and cries for me the trees all melt to memories the final scene I'll ever see the cordage snaps and I begin to bleed Bleeding out I'll stain the pale ground red as Autumn going numb, not close enough failing I felt it crack, and then the memories came rushing back (came rushing back) flashes of faces that I'll never miss turn to blackness and I can't distinguish if my eyes are even open (this feeling of falling the sound of bones breaking) Shoot me, just shoot me At last, is this the end? (I'll stain the pale ground red as Autumn) Going numb, not close enough failing, falling (bleeding out) And finally my time has come, this is it this is the end

Shadow Lake 03:31
Down on Route 9, lies a place most would say is fine walking to the place of my death, I look to the skies and hope that the screams will stay clear of my head the breeze is releasing every little tension and feeling my body recieving (recieving, recieving) see the girl when I'm dreaming I'll be dead and sleeping, when I feel the rope creeping Rope take me away, hanging from the tree I sway Rope take me away, Shadow Lake is where I'll stay Dark skies and dead flowers the place I sleep forever my grave will be nameless this home has no address It goes slow, as you look upon that place and you see your reflection you're gone without a trace and I know, dream of it today because you're gone tomorrow (and you can't be replaced) As I contemplate my death, I feel her breath on the back of my neck I hear her calling I hear it, I feel it redemption it escapes me who is she? Her figure leaves me faintly can she save me? Can she save me from myself? My death bed, my only heaven picturing the scenes in my head a church bell soundtrack for a caution tape funeral It goes slow, as you look upon that place and you see your reflection you're gone without a trace and I know, dream of it today because you're gone tomorrow (and you can't be replaced) This is the end of the road

(It was never enough) Your end is not a single event all that I've learned is you can spend your whole life dead There's not a single thing you could say to keep me here and all the times you thought you survived death was always near death is always near You told me I'd run from every fucking thing I've done or that I'd feel like shit Death skipped his visit Disappear in front of me again exchanging words with her, she vanishes Erase the words that fall from my mouth just like all I've seen here and there is no time left to fantasize I can't steal back my reflection from her eyes There's not a single thing you could say to keep me here and all the times you thought you survived death was always near death is always near It comes for you Wake up, no one can save you wake up, no one can hear you wake up, this is the end she takes my hand, I know her plan I hear them laughing at me I hear them laughing and as I walk to the edge of the building I look over and see all the smiles I lay here dreaming in a spiderweb of lies you're just a faceless ghost that's dressed in a disguise I walk around an empty town that's deep inside my mind (Can you kill me?)

Welcome Back 03:24
As I'm brought back surrounded by these faces and the hospital staff something went wrong, I truly believed I was gone a few hours ago I was cold and alone, but now that I'm back I'm screaming The doctor says welcome back although my body was dead I was alive in my head the doctor says welcome back but I'd rather be dead than alive in this hospital bed eternity slipped through the cracks Don't cry for me (The doctor says welcome back my body was dead but I was alive in my head eternity slipped through the cracks the doctor says welcome back but I'd rather be dead than alive in this hospital bed)
