It's to dark to see!
What not to be, isolate and resist the desecrate.
It's to dark to see what not to be (What not to be), isolate and resist (Isolation) the desolate. (Desolation)
[Verse]
An ocean releasing currents of test, the creation of the involuntary. Avoiding the transitions of becoming a wreck.
[Chorus]
It's too dark to see what not to be. Isolation from the devastation and the desolation. The desecrate.
It's too dark to see what not to be. Isolation from the desecrate.
[Verse}
Find away to stay awake and stay away, mistakes will cause this world to quake. Will cause this world to quake!
[Chorus]
It's too dark to see what not to be. Isolation from the devastation, (to desecrate)
It's too dark to see what not to be. Isolation from the devastation and the desolation.
Refusing to follow the crowd.
Leading to amend.
Moving the opposite way.
Let's reverse the trend.
Waves now destructive.
Includes the readiness
ability to deal with stress.

"Dear me,
Love me."
I'm writing letters to myself tonight.
The saying goes as the saying goes:
You are your own best friend tonight.
[Verse]
This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous
Every night it's the same, every night it's the same.
This is ridiculous, this is ridiculous
Every night it's the same, every night it's the same.
Am I a bad guy if I keep to myself
for letting it stay bottled up inside.
[Chorus]
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
[Verse]
Am I a good guy for helping the helpless?
Being the most selfless with all mind to hide?
Staring at myself, this fever has struck me down to the bone.
I CANT STAND WHAT I SEE HERE!
[Chorus]
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
Reflection, reflection, you're far from perfection.
You're far from perfection.
[You get the picture]
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
The man in the mirror isn't who it seems to be
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
(An imposter, a fake, an imposter, a fake.)
Reflection, Reflection
You're far from perfection.

[Verse]
I waste away tonight
Contemplating all the good times
When everything was perfect
(Now they're washed away)
Bring back, bring back these memories
That I cherish, stay true to me
I'll keep them in my heart &
(I'll treasure them forever)
[Chorus]
(Reminiscing)
Wishing it back to the way it used to be
There is not a day where I don't remind myself of the days that used to be
Of the days that used to be
[Verse]
Lately it comes to my mind;
The fear these dreams are dying.
I need your help to salvage
(These memories of mine)
Facing what's now in front of me,
without your help, how could it be?
But now I realize
(That you are really gone)
[Chorus]
(Reminiscing)
Wishing this back to the way it used to be.
There is not a day where I don't remind myself of the days that used to be.
Of the days that used to be

[Verse}
Won't you stay with me, for just a little while.
There's nothing in this world that compares to the pain I feel.
We could do almost anything or just lie here doing nothing, doing nothing at all.
[Chorus]
But you insist on leaving me behind and you swear you'll be back again, this time next week or next month, soon next year, than never again, you'll be gone and I'll be stuck waiting all alone again.
[Verse]
I can't stand when your gone, nothing seems as real.
A dream upon waking, sights so surreal.
There's planes and trains and busses that take me from here to the city.
I wish that you could see what is happening all around me.
(Please stand by my side!)
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Sometimes I wonder why
I spend these sleepless nights
thinking everything is alright,
when they're not.
Thoughts pacing back and forth in my mind through these sleepless nights
(Chorus)
(I'll be waiting for you until,
Until you get back from these long severed, these long severed years.)
[Outro]
But you insist on leaving me behind and I'll be stuck waiting.

You seem so far away, so come a little closer and stand by my side until the worst is over.
Can we find ourselves at ease, just one more night.
I know how old this gets. Just trust me this time.
[Verse]
Your voice is the sweetest thing I have and it's all that I have left. I'm slowly wasting away, could you waste away with me?
I could see her leaving, it's such a shame. It couldn't work out right. I'm all alone now, tonight is not my night.
[Chorus]
You seem so far away, so come a little closer and stand by my side until the worst is over. Can we find ourselves at ease, just one more night. I know how old this gets. Just trust me this time
[Verse]
I said lets talk this through.
I didn't see this coming.
I know I've made mistakes.
I cannot run from what it takes.
Making it this far, I've put it to waste.
Our time isn't over.
I'll take the blame for all of this pain.
[Chorus]
Just trust me this time.
I won't let you down again. x4
Just trust me this time!
You seem so far away so come a little closer and stand by my side until the worst is over.
Just one more night!

Taking matters in my hands.
Put it to the test, it's only for the best.
[Verse]
Put it to the test, it's only for the best.
Selfishness your cause of ignorance.
I can't deal with your mindless existence.
[Chorus]
Your blinded by your pressured mind
and you're trapped behind your bloodshot eyes.
Your blinded by your pressured mind
and I can't even find the you who died.
[Verse]
Bitterness a trait that's held within.
It will begin to break you down.
I cannot take all of this hate.
Just look at yourself and you will see.
[Chorus]
[Verse]
Open your eyes, wake up, no more lies.
It will be your demise. Surrounded by lies.
No truth they could find. The you who died.
[Chorus]
Open your eyes. Wake up. No more lies!
They will be your demise.
They will be your demise.
Taking matters in my own hands.
Put it to the test. Put it to the test,
it's only for the best.

Oh procrastination,
you plague me once again.
Oh commiseration,
you are my oldest friend.
[Verse]
Thinking back to the past I was never as faithful
as you were to me.
Take a second. Choke it down.
This is harder than you can believe.
I've learned from mistakes I've made.
Take a lesson from me.
Don't chase the non-existent. It will all end in failure.
[Chorus]
Pick up from the beginning.
A new voice has spoken.
Take it with you and never let it go.
This new voice has spoken!
[Verse}
The ghost from your past will haunt you until the end. You'll find yourself down and out but don't give up, not just yet.
This day will be remembered you won't forget. The feeling of surrender boxed in with regret.
[Chorus]
Get to your feet!
It can't end this way!
Except no defeat!
Or prepare to live in shame!
