Struggling to see all the beauty in the world without this artificial feeling
Trying to breathe through the heaviness I have created living in me

This is the calm before the storm
The quiet moment before my thoughts cry out
And flense my flesh from bone

Every moment that I feel you leaving me
I'm scared that I won’t ever break free from this
Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high
To reach the colors and the sounds that make me feel alive

One more time, one more line is drawn
In the sand as I try for myself to break this hell that I call life

Falsehoods cannot bind me
And lies they cannot chain me
This taint runs deep to my core
But it will not define me

Every moment that I feel you leaving me
I'm scared that I won’t ever break free from this
Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high
To reach the colors and the sounds that make me feel alive

Like a white cocoon, butterflies are crushed by you

I revile at the flashbacks late at night
Where the scent of regret lay firmly by my side
The moments of pleasure, the feeling of pain
The fear that this would never ever end

I show myself no remorse for the actions that I have taken
This ongoing fascination for a world that I did not belong is coming to close
The war within myself is over finally
The sounds that make me feel alive are back, to stay
Here, forever

Every moment that I feel you leaving me
I'm scared that I won’t ever break free from this
Nightmare I’ve been living, trying to fly so high
To reach the colors and the sounds that make me feel alive

The sounds that make me feel alive
The sounds make me feel alive, push forward and forever strive
