In Flames

Take This Life

It's not so much the pain,
it's more the actual knife
Pretending the picture is perfect,
I cut myself to sleep
I close my eyes for a second,
and curse my fragile soul
I scream to hide that I'm lonely,
the echo calls my name

If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in

The rain drops just beg to hit me
What now?
Hasn't rained for days
No time to play hide-and-seek
I call on you to take me on
Break me down to pieces,
put me back, do it right this time
Struggling to fill this empty shell
Burn all my efforts,
in the end it means nothing

If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts, will keep me free and

These thoughts, burn a hole in my heart
These thoughts, will keep me free and

If I ever, If I never
Make me understand the thought whatever
Make me see, make me be
Make me understand you're there for me

Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in
Take this life, I'm right here,
stay awhile and breathe me in

Come Clarity

Rushing through thirty
Getting older every day... by two
Drawing pictures of innocent times
Can you add color... inside these lines?

I want you to lead me,
take me somewhere
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

I want you to lead me, (...lead me)
take me somewhere (...somewhere)
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

Sure it would change my perspective
I'm certain I would change today
I'm certain it would change our ways
Would things fall into place?

I want you to lead me, (...lead me)
take me somewhere (...somewhere)
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

I want you to lead me, (...lead me)
take me somewhere (...somewhere)
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

I want you to lead me, (...lead me)
take me somewhere (...somewhere)
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

I want you to lead me, (...lead me)
take me somewhere (...somewhere)
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

Take me somewhere
Don't want to live,
in a dream one more day

Cloud Connected

People like you
You live in a dream world
You despise the outsid,
and you fear you're the next one

It's in your dream,
there's just one question
Should I kill?
Or should I be left behind?

Sick and tired,
of all your complaints
This is the hour,
we bring it down

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected

You seem to be,
so introverted
How come we fail?
With all that is given?

You crossed the line,
you remembered my name
Time runs backwards,
as we're heading that way

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected
Cloud connected

I've come to realize
Every little glimpse, you fade
I was told that I could fly
When least expected, cloud connected

Only For The Weak

I can't tolerate your sadness,
cause it's me you're drowning
I won't allow any happiness,
cause everytime you laugh, I feel so guilty
I feel so guilty

Am I forced to have any regret?
I've become the lie, beautiful and free
In my righteous own mind
I adore and preach the insanity you gave

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me

I've lost the ability to paint the clouds,
cause it's me you're draining
I'm stuck in this slow-motion dark day,
cause everytime you run, I fall behind
I fall behind

And so I hear my voice again,
the tale of the bitter man, here I am
Shake the silence and hear what it says,
the tranquil pride that become the lie

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
No need for sympathy, the misery that is me
Sell me the infection, it's only for the weak
On bleeding knees I accept my fate

I Am Above

Cut my throat and throw me to the wolves
I'm just too tired, too tired to reload
Don’t need your tears, I don't need your love
Don't need your sympathy, I am above
I’ll be the ghost that haunts you in your sleep
You have anchored the hate in me
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
Don't need your sympathy, I am above

My God, I don't need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My God, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

Maybe, just maybe it takes time to sink in
Did you not hear me loud and clear?
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
Don’t need your sympathy, I am above

My God, I don’t need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My God, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

My God, I don’t need you
I won't wait for you to come around
My God, as the pain inflicts
I know I bleed, I bleed for you

We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
We will never be, you are a ghost to me
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for

This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
Don't need your tears, I don't need your love
This is the feeling that I have been waiting for
Don’t need your sympathy, I am above
