so take a breath and dive
headfirst, into concrete
the tide will swell and break your fall
if you believe

derelict I stand in shadow
far, so far away from home
how did I become so empty
hollow shell of rusted chrome

I saw you lying in the sand
I came you and took your hand
I thought that this was oh so grand
until you whisper your demand
and how on earth could i refuse
my mind amiss and yours to use
just how could you not abuse
the power I was sure to lose

tear down your walls, and let the undertow
carry you far away from the shore
a thousand miles from life
take your flag and raise it high, high enough
for the world to see, for the world to know
that you are the one, the one who took the plunge
the one who dove away from the rest
the one who knows where his home truly is

please just tell me once again
whisper softly in my ear
fill my head with pretty lies
so i forget my death draws near

whats's the point of being the tallest giant
if you'll still never touch the sky?

delerious, drowning in a sea of self-loathing
smoke clouds my eyes, the fire feuled by broken potential
untouched resources burn and vanish
only ashes remain to taunt me
only the mirror remains to haunt me
only venemous laughter to daunt me
stifle my every thought
is it suprising then that i lie alone
in the filth and darkness of fear
never to rise, never to sleep
always to dream, always to be reminded
of what will never be...

why can't I ever wake from this
I thought that dreams were full of bliss
but here I lay in the freezing rain
every inch of my body cries out in pain
when will these nightmares finally cease
my mind is imploding piece after piece
if i dont wake soon I'll have nothing left
but only for me this distruction is cleft
and as the morning sun slowly wakes
the last of my sanity finally breaks
and the sunlight confirms my deepest fears
that fill my eyes with bitter tears
and the blistering truth that the sun did reveal
i was never asleep, it was all very real...

come to me now out of darkness
don't hide your eyes behind that halo of stormclouds
leave your rain and your tears behind
you won't need them in my arms
