[00:00.00]

[01:03.00]A helping hand leaves no trace
[01:07.00]Of how it pulls you into its embrace
[01:12.00]A tired mind disbelieves
[01:16.00]All the things your eyes can see

[01:20.00]A scornful word turns away
[01:25.00]The loving touch that lets you stay
[01:29.00]A tortured soul reaches out
[01:33.00]For the words you dare not shout

[01:37.00]Dreaming a dying dream
[01:45.00]Screaming a silent scream

[01:52.00]

[01:59.00]Let the anger rise
[02:08.00]Hear the distant cries
[02:16.00]And when you're finally blind
[02:23.00]Take my eyes

[02:26.00]

[02:50.00]Fading away and feeling inside out
[02:54.00]Reaching toward the darkness for a way to lift the doubt
[02:58.00]All these things that I nail to your door
[03:02.00]Could start your revolution
[03:04.00]Will you sink or swim to shore?

[03:07.00]Never-ending
[03:11.00]Everlasting death

[03:17.00]

[03:24.00]Flashing before your eyes
[03:32.00]These empty careful lies
[03:39.00]

[03:46.00]Let the anger rise
[03:55.00]Hear the distant cries
[04:03.00]And when you're finally blind
[04:10.00]Take my eyes

[04:13.00]

[04:16.00]You wonder why
[04:20.00]It took so long
[04:25.00]You wonder why
[04:28.00]You don't belong
[04:32.00]When every time you couldn't stand to be alone
[04:41.00]You felt the coldness of its touch
[04:46.00]Pulling you down

[04:50.00]And when the fear gets too much to bear alone
[04:59.00]The blackened hand reaches out and won't let go
[05:07.00]The body weakens the mind
[05:14.00]Until the darkness takes your eyes
[05:18.00]And makes you blind

[05:24.00]

[09:14.00]A scattered mind in disarray
[09:19.00]Cannot find the light in each new day
[09:23.00]A broken heart can finally rest
[09:27.00]Having failed each and every test

[09:31.00]A mournful tear cascading down
[09:35.00]The iron cheek that wears a frown
[09:40.00]A humbled man leaves no trace
[09:44.00]Of how he longed for your embrace

[09:47.00]Dreaming your final dream
[09:56.00]Cast out the silent scream

[10:03.00]

[10:12.00]Let the anger rise
[10:20.00]Hear the distant cries
[10:29.00]And when you're finally blind
[10:36.00]Finally blind

[10:45.00]

[10:48.00]Take my eyes

[10:56.00]
