For a thousand years, I've found myself in these dark alleys, searching for a light, on the pathway to perdition,Waiting for someone to come along and wake me up from this nightmare. For a thousand years, I'm the boy that I'm not, I've become the sophisticated mask that I'm wearing which conceals all my loneliness and agony. For a thousand years, I've felt this burden residing in my chest, the heaviness of my heart, and the profound weight on my shoulders. For a thousand years, I've been looking to be redeemed, to be salvaged, and to find a way to liberate myself from the curse of insecurity and desolation. For a thousand years, I've been weary and cold, longing for love, wanting to be understood, and yearning to go home.

A Thousand Years
For a thousand years, I've found myself in these dark alleys, searching for a light, on the pathway to perdition,Waiting for someone to come along and wake me up from this nightmare. For a thousand years, I'm the boy that I'm not, I've become the sophisticated mask that I'm wearing which conceals all my loneliness and agony. For a thousand years, I've felt this burden residing in my chest, the heaviness of my heart, and the profound weight on my shoulders. For a thousand years, I've been looking to be redeemed, to be salvaged, and to find a way to liberate myself from the curse of insecurity and desolation. For a thousand years, I've been weary and cold, longing for love, wanting to be understood, and yearning to go home.
