I gave myself up
To the darkness
That grew from my heart
I felt no love
I gave myself up
To the darkness
That tore me apart
I feel it now

Afraid
Of my own reflection
I had everything to hide
But had nothing to say

Afraid
Of my own reflection
I ran all the way back home
But didn't know the way

Thought I had a plan
It was all a lie
Time slipped through my hands
I have lost the fight
Thought I had a chance
If only I tried
I have lost the fight

I gave myself up
To the darkness
Light slipped through my hands

In chains
I was held back by chains
Treated like an animal
I wrapped myself in chains

In chains
I used to have a dream
But I was woken up
By reality

VERSE
Honey
I see your shadow
And it still haunts me
I wait for sunset
Honey
You promised the world
And I can't forget
How you destroyed it

CHORUS
I'm no longer in a dream
Our love's now a mystery
You're no longer here with me
Fading fast like memories
I'm left with your silhouette
Our love dies a silly death
I'm no longer in a dream
You're no longer here with me

VERSE
Help me
To understand why
You threw me away
Into the abyss
Help me
To forget your smile
And the way you said
You'd always be here

CHORUS
I'm no longer in a dream
Our love's now a mystery
You're no longer here with me
Fading fast like memories
I'm left with your silhouette
Our love dies a silly death
I'm no longer in a dream
You're no longer here with me

BRIDGE
An endless night
It's filled with silent hope
My hopeless cries
Are deafened by the crows
A lonely life
It's filled with your shadow
This is goodbye
Now it's time to let go

BRIDGE
An endless night
It's filled with silent hope
My hopeless cries
Are deafened by the crows
A lonely life
It's filled with your shadow
This is goodbye
Now it's time to let go

CHORUS
I'm no longer in a dream
Our love's now a mystery
You're no longer here with me
Fading fast like memories
I'm left with your silhouette
Our love dies a silly death
I'm no longer in a dream
You're no longer here with me

VERSE
Time's ticking fast, gotta put on a show
For the one I want tonight
Baby it's you, yeah, you already know
That I won't mess up this time
You're in a trance, got me feeling so bad
Like what we have's a crime
I'll be your escape, let me invade your space
I'll take you on a ride

PRE-CHORUS
My mind is lost in the screams of the crowd
They want me, they want me
In the dark we're the only ones allowed
You want me, you want me

CHORUS
In this blackout
With no one else around
You're touching me
I can barely breathe
As the lights go down

In this blackout
Got me under arrest
I'm falling weak
It feels like a dream
When we're on the edge

Blackout

VERSE
Crowd's in my ear but I don't hear a thing
Frozen in ecstasy
You wrap me in bliss, locked up in a dream
Like one sweet memory
You chain me down, I'm taken to the clouds
Feeling you endlessly
We're on our way to Hysteria Lane
You are my destiny

PRE-CHORUS
My mind is searching for a way out
They want me, they want me
In the dark we're the only ones allowed
You want me, you want me

CHORUS
In this blackout
With no one else around
You're touching me
I can barely breathe
As the lights go down

In this blackout
Got me under arrest
I'm falling weak
It feels like a dream
When we're on the edge

Blackout

BRIDGE
Our deepest desires are brought to life
In the dark, in the dark
We're running towards the light
Shadows take us to the other side
In the dark, in the dark
You make me feel so alive

PRE-CHORUS
My mind is searching for a way out
You want me, you want me
In the dark we're the only ones allowed
You want me, you want me
You want me, you need me

CLOSING CHORUS
In this blackout
With no one else around
You're touching me
I can barely breathe
As the lights go down

In this blackout
Got me under arrest
I'm falling weak
It feels like a dream
When we're on the edge

In this blackout
With no one else around
You're touching me
I can barely breathe
As the lights go down

In this blackout
Got me under arrest
I'm falling weak
It feels like a dream
When we're on the edge

Blackout

VERSE
I couldn't see beyond the veil
Lost in the mist, I gave into hell
I always used to let the demons win
I had enough of living lies
I hid from what I'm really like
Soon enough I ended up caving in

PRE-CHORUS
The smoke has cleared, my fears are denied
I let the light in, my heart's revived
My tired eyes burn with sudden fire
I reach out to the skies

CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils

VERSE
I couldn't see the horizon
Blinded by hope, I longed for heaven
Angels came and made the rain disappear
Awakened, in paradise
Now my happiness has taken flight
Finally floating through the atmosphere

PRE-CHORUS
The smoke has cleared, my fears are denied
I let the light in, my heart's revived
My tired eyes burn with sudden fire
I reach out to the skies

CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils

BRIDGE
There's a potential for everything
When a flower dies, another flower begins
You'll make it through the first bloom of Spring
Fake it 'til it's happening, happening to you
To you too

I let the light in, my heart's revived
I reach out to the skies

CHORUS
As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
Cause I'll be dancing, dancing, dancing

As if nothing even matters
Nothing can ruin what I'm feeling right now
I feel no weight on my shoulders
Like I'm dancing, dancing with the daffodils
As if nothing even matters
Even if I'm left in the dark once again
I'll stay afloat on the river
I'll be dancing, dancing with the daffodils
I'm dancing with the daffodils

VERSE
I lie frozen in the past
I see trees of beautiful evergreen
I'm in awe of yesterday
When the bees stayed in their alveary
I hear the ghosts loud and clear
It's as if they're still breathing next to me
I start to open my heart
I pray the vultures will finally leave

PRE-CHORUS
It's a sad, sad life
Saying goodbye to everything you know
It's a sad, sad life
Trying to pretend that you're not alone
Cracks start to form, I'm shaken to the core
That I may have to face reality
It's a sad, sad life
When you remember all the memories

CHORUS
I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened

I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened

VERSE
My heart's buried in the dust
It decays from a wave of destruction
I start to notice the sun
How it smiles when the world's in dysfunction
I dance with the daffodils
I'm chasing them like they're my salvation
But I know, I know, I know
I'm living in a reflection of time

PRE-CHORUS
It's a sad, sad life
Saying goodbye to everything you know
It's a sad, sad life
Trying to pretend that you're not alone
Cracks start to form, I'm shaken to the core
That I now have to face reality
It's a sad, sad life
When you remember all the memories

CHORUS
I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened

I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened

BRIDGE
I'm lifeless, cold hands
All over me, I'm brought to reality
I search for remains
Of what used to be, trees of evergreen
My dreams crushed, I'm left
With the shadows of a memory
I'm waiting for someone
To save me deep beneath the debris

CHORUS
I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened

I've been awakened
The aftershock hasn't left me
In the middle of a wasteland
I begin trembling
I'll never get back
Trees of beautiful evergreen
I've been awakened
I've been awakened
I've been awakened
Awakened

VERSE
The doors are locked, their beds are made
Their tears are lost in the lonely rain
They're taught to never be afraid
It keeps them from going insane
The days are gone, the night has won
Their hands are filled with loaded guns
The flowers decay one by one
But they keep marching on and on

CHORUS
When everyone is covered in blood
When everything has turned into dust
We will be living in paradise
When all the bombs have finally dropped
There won't be anyone left to love
We will be living in paradise

VERSE
The lakes are dry, their souls are seized
Their hands are lined with the pain they leave
They're haunted by the helpless screams
That follow them inside their dreams
The night has killed, the days have ran
Now the shadows are all they have
The lives they led have been trapped
Now the bodies are all they have

CHORUS
When everyone is covered in blood
When everything has turned into dust
We will be living in paradise
When all the bombs have finally dropped
There won't be anyone left to love
We will be living in paradise

BRIDGE
The world's thrown into a fire
It burns through the suffering
The smoke starts to retire
Death is born in the ashes
The world's thrown into a fire
It burns through the suffering
The smoke starts to retire
Death is born in the ashes
In the ashes

CHORUS
When everyone is covered in blood
When everything has turned into dust
We will be living in paradise
When all the bombs have finally dropped
There won't be anyone left to love
We will be living in paradise

When everyone is covered in blood
When everything has turned into dust
We will be living in paradise
When all the bombs have finally dropped
There won't be anyone left to love
We will be living in paradise
In paradise

VERSE
You took me like a bird, I'm your prey
I gave you all the light in my flame
You sent every star back into space
I feel all this love, you feel nothing

I chase you through the rain, I still pray
You'll finally recognise my face
When you're not around, you're in my head
If you're the end, how do I begin?

PRE-CHORUS
You are covered in gold, this love cannot be controlled
Yet I'm always hiding in the shadows of your heart

CHORUS
I'm catching, catching all your whispers in the dark
The rhythm of my heart is beating fast, too fast
I'm waiting, waiting for the angels up above
The angels in the heavens up above, above
But they, they never come, I'm left to rot
In this river of ice
I know you'll never leave me in my heart
Where the demons reside

HOOK
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm just a toy for you to play with 'til you've had enough
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm thrown into a sea of blue after you've had your fun
How can I move on?

VERSE
Okay, I'll forgive you, only this once
Come back to me, we could have some fun
We could play beer pong, we can count tear drops
'Til the clouds turn clear, we could have fun

REPRISE
But you, you never come, I'm left to rot
In this river of ice
I know you'll never leave me in my heart
Where the demons reside

PRE-CHORUS
You are covered in gold, this love cannot be controlled
Yet I'm always hiding in the shadows of your heart

CHORUS
I'm catching, catching all your whispers in the dark
The rhythm of my heart is beating fast, too fast
I'm waiting, waiting for the angels up above
The angels in the heavens up above, above
But they, they never come, I'm left to rot
In this river of ice
I know you'll never leave me in my heart
Where the demons reside

HOOK
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm just a toy for you to play with 'til you've had enough
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm thrown into a sea of blue after you've had your fun
How can I move on?
How can I move on?

BRIDGE
In a parallel universe
I wonder if I'd still be invisible
Dead and gone, are you happy now that you've won?
In another world to our own
I wonder if I'd still feel so hollow
Dead and gone, would I matter to you at all?

PRE-CHORUS
You are covered in gold, this love cannot be controlled
Yet I'm always hiding in the shadows of your heart

HOOK
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm just a toy for you to play with 'til you've had enough

CHORUS
I'm catching, catching all your whispers in the dark
The rhythm of my heart is beating fast, too fast

You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm just a toy for you to play with 'til you've had enough
You are a playboy
You keep playing with my heart
Yeah, I'm thrown into a sea of blue after you've had your fun
How can I move on?

I'm helium, you're the air
One of them rises, the other does not
All of this time I've been lost
In the skies while you kept holding me up

I pick you up in my hands
You're smiling so hard, it makes me feel sad
That I left you in the sand
All of this time in an hourglass

VERSE
Foggy nights illuminate
Within my eyes, I create
A cold disguise that I fake
Everyone is in the dark

Passers-by can't see my face
I decide to hide away
In the light where I awake
Demons living in my heart

PRE-CHORUS
For a century I've been someone else
Drowning in tears I build one empty shell
Cracks start to appear, I must learn to love
What's beyond the veil

CHORUS
Beyond the veil
The ashes of my soul
Are scattered in the stars
I've never felt whole
Beyond the veil
A little child remains
Crying out for some love
I've only known the pain
Beyond the veil

VERSE
All their smiles I yearn to break
I've lived my life wanting change
But when it comes, I'm afraid
I'll lose everything again

In the dawn I fear the dusk
Creeping up, I'm on the run
Never caught, I know no one
Except for this lonely friend

PRE-CHORUS
For a century I've been someone else
Drowning in tears I build one empty shell
Cracks have now appeared, I must learn to love
What's beyond the veil

CHORUS
Beyond the veil
The ashes of my soul
Are scattered in the stars
I've never felt whole
Beyond the veil
A little child remains
Crying out for some love
I've only known the pain
Beyond the veil

VERSE
Little pieces of me are passed around
Some are thrown away, others are buried in the dirt
But there's one thing that will never be found
It's the core of me that still remains deep in the earth
I'm overcome with sickness, poisoned from head to toe
The cure dangles between my fingers
Just one drop will let me know when I'm heading back home

CHORUS
Beyond the veil
The ashes of my soul
Are scattered in the stars
I've never felt whole
Beyond the veil
A little child remains
Crying out for some love
I've only known the pain
Beyond the veil, veil, veil
I am born again
Now I am free to run
Beyond the veil, veil, veil
I run up that hill
Now I can reach the sun
Beyond the veil, veil, veil
I am born again
Now I am free to run
Beyond the veil, veil, veil
I run up that hill
Now I can reach the sun
Beyond my veil
