When you've lost all hope, and faiths a tightrope
when inside your dead and cold, it comes subtle and slow
and you wanna keep fighting it, but you know you wanna break
and still you keep hiding it, though its more then you can take
nothing ever seems to matter, your feelings start fading,
you pretend your still okay, but denial starts your jading
and its then you start to realize, nothings ever as it seems,
your so lost and alone, when your in your time of need
you start searching for good signs, cuz your feeling so desperate,
but darkness surrounds you, everything's so desolate
and then you hear the voices, it all sounds so clear,
the options that they offer, to make you disappear
Chorus- Its the, lonely voice in the back of your mind,
it screams out, pain, hot blood, suicide
its the, dark conscience that clouds your brain,
it, swallows your thoughts, find pleasure in pain-end chorus
Its the dark you cant hide in, the light you cant find,
you cant hide from yourself, it gets worse with time
its the whisper in the wind, that tells you lifes not fair
its the darkness that surrounds you, that tells you no ones there
its the face in the mirror, looking back with disgust,
its the look of disappointment, when theres no one you can trust
its the shadow of doubt, that always crosses your mind
its the next letdown, that you always find,
its the mindstate, that you cant escape,
its the same fate, that you face every day
its the dark feelings, that just drive you insane
its the angry thoughts, that rattle your brain
chorus
when you have no other options, when your drowning in your sorrow
when you wanna end it all, cuz you dont wanna face tomorrow
when your dying every day, when you've run out of excuses,
when the mask becomes attached, because you feel so useless
when the war is always raging, when the voices start to win
when you've lost all hope of sanity, and nothing is a sin
when you reach the breaking point, when the last stone has been cast
when you cant look towards the future, cuz your always haunted by your past
when you always feel so empty, when reality's a blur,
when you never wanna wake up, but this is not the worst
when life just doesn't seem worth it, when the blade is on your wrist
when its too late to stop, and you dont care what you will miss
chorus
if you have nothing left to give, if you have no reason to live
if your not feeling satisfied, cuz the darkness rules your life
if the world is on your back, if the shadows sneak attack
if your life is off track, and you want help just ask
if you need a guide to the light, if nothing feels alright
if you need a helping hand, dont be afraid to take a stand
