Art Of Dying Album

I've seen better days
So says the mirror
It's hard to find divinity when you're the king of men

If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
I can get through anything
I promise you

It could be much worse
But the call is close
Tomorrow's my reason for today to let go

If I can get through this
I can get through anything
If I can make it through this
I can get through anything
I promise you

If I can get through this
I can get through that
If you cut me wide open
I can cut you some slack
If you come when I'm leaving
I might never be back
I know it's not easy
just a matter of fact

If I can get through this
If I can get through this
If I can get through this
If I can get through this

You think you know me
Got me figured out
Your casting shadows
Forget about the doubt
You think you know me
You think I care
You should spend some time sometime with the person in the mirror

I'm a fist, I'm afraid, I'm a link in the chain
I'm the worst of the best, but I'm in this race
You don't know me
I'm a knife, I'm a rope, I'm a bitter pill
I'm a tooth on the cog that you built to spill
You don't know me

I'm not defined by what you think I am
I won't fall into your predetermined file
All like diamonds without the shine
If you never take the time you never know what you won't find

I'm a crow, I'm the most with the least to gain
I'm a fading Mona Lisa in a plywood frame
You don't know me
I'm a ring on a tree in a life that fell
What I did I done good and what I done I did well
You don't know me

Hate is a river flowing with money and greed
Drawing borders
Lines on a map we don't need

I'm a wall, I'm a fence, I'm a dotted line
I'm the land you kill for in the name of your kind
You don't know me
I'm a storm, I'm a sign, I'm a bleeding heart
I'm the time that got away
It's already gone
You don't know me

Somebody’s leaving
somebody gives a damn
somebody’s dreaming
‘cause somebody knows they can
you can
for all the times this world ain’t fair
I want you to know

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

somebody’s dying
somebody’s lost their wings
and somebody’s losing their mind
somebody knows no other way
and when this life gets hard to bear
I want you to know

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be

somebody’s leaving
somebody gives a damn

I will be there
to watch you go, to let you know somebody cares
I will be there
to love you when nothing hurts and no one cares

I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be there
I will be, I will be there.

Watching you asleep, are you awake anymore
Can you hear, are you dreaming
Hand out of reach, truly impatient like the flower
Do you believe, can you see me through the reeling

How will I fall with all your conditions at my feet
How will I know it's okay
How will I fare with towering expectations over me
How will I know it's too late

Healing with time is like watching paint dry
Or March rains wash away all the feeling
When clarity comes there's always room for one more
As long as her date is good reason
Will you listen

I never knew I would find you
I never knew I would have to let somebody in
Hoow can something so easy be so hard

I’m scared to look down
Never been so high
And I can’t look up with a closing mind
I’m scared to be touched
I don’t like the feel
It’s way too close
Way too real

Inside it’s raining
It never lets up
I know I’m crazy
Crazy enough to know that I’ll find a way to make this all go away

I’m scared to be me
Because I look like you
I don’t want to be somebody I never knew
I’m scared to go out
I’m so far in
I hear it’s nice
But I’ve never been

I found mInside It’s Raining

I’m scared to look down
Never been so high
And I can’t look up with a closing mind
I’m scared to be touched
I don’t like the feel
It’s way too close
Way too real

Inside it’s raining
It never lets up
I know I’m crazy
Crazy enough to know that I’ll find a way to make this all go away

I’m scared to be me
Because I look like you
I don’t want to be somebody I never knew
I’m scared to go out
I’m so far in
I hear it’s nice
But I’ve never been

I found my only out, so just forget about talking me down
I’ll put this fire out and stop this burning

Inside it’s raining
y only out, so just forget about talking me down
I’ll put this fire out and stop this burning

Inside it’s raining

I see an end
Our sun will dive
Blood alone won't bring you life

Darkness falls
Curtains rise
You and I just can't survive

Like broken glass
I see through you
I can't believe the things that you do

With open eye's been cut before
Now I see through closing doors
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

It's hard to sleep in the bed you make
with all the bones that you daybreak

You taught me well
Sure I learned that most of us get what we deserve

Gave me your heart of rusty nails
and now you ask why it impales

What you hide you can't conceal
Through your eyes all is revealed
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

I guess I gave my best for the both of us tonight
They're not just words to me, so listen when I speak
I'll see this through

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like
We're not so far away

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like

It's your turn to rise
Occasion will call you out tonight
You're not just somebody I met along the way
I'll keep coming through for you

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like
We're not so far away

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like

You know love isn't justice, don't get confused
It's not always convenient
You just have to choose
Do you believe

We're not so far away

Do what you can
Be what you need
Be what you like
We're not so far away

I give what I need to give
I take what I need to take
I live how I see fit
I choose to follow through

My only crime is loving you
My only crime is loving you

I lie in my own contempt
Subdued by relentlessness
I tried to fight the thought
But I caved
I gave my freedom
Resigned it all to you
What would you give to know it never goes away

My only crime is loving you
My only crime is loving you

One life
never own it
Enslaved like a servant
Once the bottom breaks you never float the same
One shake
to a tremble
Con-man from within you
I can lie to myself but I can’t lie to you

My only crime is loving you
My only crime is loving you
My only crime is loving you
My only crime is loving you

I didn't say 'I love you',
When I had the chance,
And now I lie here bleeding,
I'm in an awful mess.

I know it's not the right time,
To become a religious man,
But I've got that nasty feeling,
It's my only chance.

There is no pain, no sign of life,
I took in vain my only life,
I can't explain where the time went,
Now I'm breathing my final breath.

I fell awake while sleeping,
Forgot to remember how,
I gave my best at taking,
Had everything but more.

The pavement's getting cold now,
You're the best thing in my life,
I really should have told you,
But I didn't have the time.

There is no pain, no sign of life,
I took in vain my only life,
I can't explain where the time went,
Now I'm breathing my final breath.

There is no pain, no sign of life,
I took in vain my only life,
I can't explain where the time went,
Now I'm breathing my final breath.

Now I'm breathing, my final...
There goes... my last breath.
There goes... my last breath.
There goes... my last breath.
There goes... my last breath.
There goes... my last breath.
There goes...

It’s got me on my head again.
Close can be so misleading.
It’s hard enough to get to know yourself.
Into words I cough my feelings.
I don’t know the half of it but, this I finally figured out:
I used to think that being alone meant being by myself.
Now I know, to truly be alone means being without you.

Ignorance eats for free.
There’s more questions than there’s reason.
Time smiles, forever laughing by.
End is prey for the beginning.
Lost track, forgot who’s losing.
A mouth opens up inside.

I used to think that being alone meant being by myself.
Now I know, to truly be alone means being without you.

It’s got me on my head again.
Close can be so misleading.
It’s hard enough to get to know yourself.

I used to think that being alone meant being by myself.
Now I know, to truly be alone means being without you.
I used to think that being alone meant being by myself.
Now I know, to truly be alone means being without you.

Build a wall from me
Your words are mortar and limestone
One wall’s okay
You’re still easy to find

Put up a second wall
Corner yourself and hide
I can come around
meet you on the other side

Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see

put up a third wall
and watch the ocean roll in
I’m a note in a bottle
The tide will wash me in

Put up a final wall
Lock me out of your life
I’m coming over top
I will scale, I will climb
I will climb

Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see

I’m an ocean of will in a desert of truth
Not one wall stands in front of me
With both arms I reach out to you

But you seal the top with stone
lock me out for good
all you’ve really done is locked yourself in
You are buried alive

Tell me how
how does it finally feel to be free
Tell me how
with those beautiful eyes you can’t see

You could offer me patients or violence
You could offer me blood or peace
In a letter let me know when it’s over
Just keep it far away from me

You could end him, you could let him go
He’s just a criminal I don’t know
You could hang him, you could set him free
As long as he don’t sit next to me

God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
God is gracious, god is good, it’s in his hands
God is gracious, god is good, this god of mine
And if your god met my god we’d be alright

You could fill every mouth on the planet
Or send me news of death toll highs
You could tell me how to make a difference
Not now, I’ve got plans tonight

You could swing from an arrow or olive branch
You could hang from the status quo
You could offer me a heart for bravery
As long as I don’t have to go

God is gracious, god is good, he’ll understand
God is gracious, god is good, it’s in his hands
God is gracious, god is good, this god of mine
And if your god met my god we’d be all right
