Another nightmare is haunting me I hear them knocking I hear them calling my name Dead behind the eyes No one’s gonna save me now I try to leave but it’s always in my head Behind my eyes deep within my soul I hear them laughing behind these Walls My mind is torturing me Should I stay awake or go back to sleep? It poisons the air I breathe And again I remain sleepless Can you see all this fear in my eyes? When will this come to an end? This weight is breaking my shoulders I can barely stand The clock is ticking in my ear Wrapped in chains - broken inside The Cold is creeping Trapped inside of nothingness I’m dead behind the eyes Caught in the shadows of my own mind The Abyss is calling me (2x) My mind is torturing me Should I stay awake or go back to sleep? It poisons the air I breathe endless screams from the deep No one’s gonna save me now I try to leave but its always in my head deep within my soul I hear them laughing right behind these walls

I can feel the sun on my skin But it’s warmth is never reaching in I guess this is the burden of life Cause each scar on my soul shows a lesson I've learned. My stomach starts to turn And all this pain in my heart that burns returns No sign of life in my eyes I've lost every sense of time Like a moth to a Flame I've burned my wings again and again I've burned my wings again Falling Falling down, into a hole As above so below No one’s here to hear my call As above so below Slowly I understand what you meant when you said everything is a matter of time I am saving my breath, nevertheless I can’t avoid watching my days pass by I am saving my breath - watching my day passing by I can feel the sun on my skin But its warmth is never reaching in I guess this is the burden of life Cause each scar on my soul shows a lesson I've learned. My stomach starts to turn And all this pain in my heart that burns returns I can feel the sun on my skin But its warmth is never reaching in But I guess this is the burden of life all these scars on my soul show the lesson I've learned. My stomach starts to turn And all this pain in my heart that burns returns (it returns)

Like sand is running through my hand (it crumbles) Like voices I don’t understand (they sound humble) Something I’ve wrote but never sent My patience has come to an end Looking back hurts my eyes Yesterday life seemed so easy I only wanted to grow up Just to live my dreams Just to feel alive Why can’t I be ordinary I don’t remember what is normal to me Is it real? Argh… But the truth is cold and lifeless It's like I'm stuck in the eye of a storm All these years - gone with the wind And this fear creeps up my spine Like sand is running through my hand (it crumbles) Like voices I don’t understand (they sound humble) Something I’ve wrote but never sent My patience has come to an end Like sand is running through my fingers Like an echo that lingers Its closing in like an endless night I'm aware that my inner child has died It feels like it’s leading in a blind alley Where do I go from here? A silent echo of each moment Reflecting Fading away It feels/seems like time is running faster Every time I close my eyes - it passes by Like sand is running through my hand (it crumbles) Like voices I don’t understand (they sound humble) Something I’ve wrote but never sent My patience has come to an end

Tell me how many times I've been at this point. The light keeps fading The day keeps dying On my own Searching for a way out A way to set me free I don't want to live this lie I’m so sick of pretending I'm smiling on the outside, but no one knows the truth I've never known myself, so I wasted my whole youth I'm dying from the inside and no one hears me scream I've learned the hard way nothing is what it seems. Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats It's all a masquerade A carnival of hidden pain A desperate dance in the pouring rain I spent to much time trying to fit in My patience is wearing thin We're all dead within so dead within How can you live with this messed up lie? I don't want to be a comb of this human hive Show the world your so called perfect life But I can see inside it's all a lie Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats It's all a masquerade A carnival of hidden pain A desperate dance in the pouring rain You can cover it with colours Hide it in the brightness But I‘ll always feel like a dead shell full of silence. Don't let it fool your eyes Don't get it wrong I'm so done with this I'm so done with you Behind the Gates where all the pain sleeps Behind the Curtain where my broken heart beats It's all a masquerade A carnival of hidden pain A desperate dance in the pouring rain

My Own Rules, My Own Universe 03:18

Do you know what it's like To pretend that you're fine But inside you’re dying Do you know what it's like To be haunted by your fears in your dreams You're stuck in this swamp of sorrow All these colours are gone All your hopes are torn. And You're so damn afraid of tomorrow tomorrow I wasn’t always honest with you I’m sorry for that but I can say that I was with myself I’m glowing but you can’t see it I’m shining but it’s my secret They found diseases in my mind I wish I could spell them right Though they told me it is time I won't die They found diseases in my mind I wish I could spell them right Though they told me it is time I won't die It's like a dead end road But I found the strength to carry on 'Cause everything that dragged me down seems to slip away I escaped this swamp of sorrow Under this black sky I can see a light It does not hurt nor - am I afraid anymore They said it's hopeless But they never broke my will to move on They found diseases in my mind I wish I could spell them right I can't prevail for a while My Own Rules - My Own Universe My Own Rules - My Own Universe They found diseases in my mind I wish I could spell them right I can't prevail for a while
