lyrics

Save me
Dead inside, so self-righteous, cyanide
What do you want from me
Kill me
Sacrifice, scar my body, rectify
Fighting to survive in these machines

Show me light, your life so pitiful, out of time, don’t die on me
Brave the night or die invisible, tell me lies I’ll make you see

Empty, what is left to live by
What is left to send my body into this time

Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sin, in the dark, in the fear machine

Bleeding
Razor blade, time is ticking be afraid
I hear you scream, the cry
Burning
Down in hell, melting to your prison cell
And I can see your wasted life

Can’t find yourself in all this venom and sin, I’ll burn impurity
Don’t look back, just fall and understand, show me what it’s like to bleed

Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sin, in the dark, in the fear machine

And I know that this is not what you wanted to be
So cold, and in the night when you finally see
That you’ve been dead inside for a while, you know that heaven’s still out of reach
Can you escape your vice this time, in the dark, in the fear machine

Let me show you what it’s like to see the world through the eyes of the fated
This is the life you made with your pride, this is the nightmare that you created
Can you find a reason to live or will you die here broken and jaded
Can you pay the price for your sin, in the dark, in the fear machine

And I know that this is not what you wanted to be
So cold, and in the night when you finally see
That you’ve been dead inside for a while, you know that heaven’s still out of reach
Can you escape your vise this time, in the dark, in the fear machine
