These wide open eyes
They take in everything
The pain, the tears, and open wounds
They live in fear of seeing another day

Through it all, I will be there
I will be your strength
I will wrap my loving arms around you
And keep you perfectly safe

These ears hear of evil things
Of death, suicide, and endless searching
They want to stop listening
To forget every word that was spoken

Through it all, I will be there
I will be your strength
I will wrap my loving arms around you
And be your saving grace

This mind it holds memories so dear
But when tragedy erupts it forgets in fear
All the good things that ever happened
It only knows the pain and tears

Through it all, I will be there
I will be your strength
I will wrap my loving arms around you
And keep you totally sane

Don’t tell me to live
Cause I’m dying inside
Don’t tell me to go on
Cause I’m quitting

I’m falling into myself
Forgetting to hold onto life
My soul is slowly slipping away
I’m giving in to the emptiness

I used to live
Every day with a smile, masking the depression
But then one day I let go
And let myself fall

I’m falling into myself
Forgetting to hold onto life
My soul is slowly slipping away
I’m giving in to the emptiness

Don’t try to save me
Don’t want to come out
I want to stay inside this place
Because this is where I feel safe

I’m falling into myself
Forgetting to hold onto life
My soul is slowly slipping away
I’m giving in to the emptiness

The suffering, the pain
It all adds up to nothing
Too much has been forgotten
Will life continue to go on?

This quiet injustice
Never given a moment’s thought
The silent screams of those who have fallen
Reaching out to the lost

The blood shed, the bodies burned
The innocent lives taken
The nightmare remains with the dead
And for them vengeance will never be sought

This quiet injustice
Never given a moment’s thought
The silent screams of those who have fallen
Reaching out to the lost

Why did you wait until now
To tell me the truth
Why did you give me false hope
For the future

The scars on my heart
Are the tears that I’ve cried
The tears are the memories locked deep inside

You tore my heart apart
Left me in pieces
Then you walked away
And left my soul screaming

These scars on my heart
Are the tears that I’ve cried
The tears are the memories locked deep inside

Why did you do it
Leave me alone here forever
Why did you walk away
And not even lift a finger

These scars on my heart
Are all the tears that I’ve cried
The tears are the memories locked deep inside

The first day I saw you
With all your blond hair and blue eyes
Right then I wanted to go up and talk to you
But I was so afraid to try

I’m so scared to trust you
To show you how I feel inside
I’m so scared of loving you
Because I don’t want a broken heart
And another reason to cry

Throughout the year I watched you
Silent words spilling from my lips
The things I would never tell you
Because I was so afraid of life

I’m so scared to trust you
To show you how I feel inside
I’m so scared of loving you
Because I don’t want a broken heart
And another reason to cry

You’re leaving now
And as you walk away I whisper “goodbye”
You will never know how I felt about you
Maybe it was all just a lie

It’s the story of her life
Days on top of days filled with pain
A continuous cycle of peace coming and going
And she sits here, clueless, nothing to say

Dark blue eyes filled with tears
Hopeless searching never ends
Heart shatters under truth’s wake
Under this weight she falls
Closes her eyes and slips away

It’s like hitting her head against a brick wall
When she tries to do right, she fails
Her scars deep inside refuse to heal
She doesn’t know who to turn to, she is so scared

Dark blue eyes filled with tears
Hopeless searching never ends
Heart shatters under truth’s wake
Under this weight she falls
Closes her eyes and slips away

One last time she tries to find peace
She looks up and cries, “God are you there? ”
She stays a long while, quietly waiting
For the day of release, but the silence continues

Dark blue eyes filled with tears
Hopeless searching never ends
Heart shatters under truth’s wake
Under this weight she falls
Closes her eyes and slips away

My whole childhood was filled with hate
Parents yelling and no friends whatsoever
I hid most of the time and refused to come out
Because I didn’t want to face reality and know that you hated me

Your heartless words pierce my soul
Leaving me hating myself, and cursing my existence
After all that I’ve been through this should mean nothing
But it hurts so deep inside, like I’m slowly being murdered

Now I’m just in a different situation
Stuck somewhere I don’t want to be
But of course someone is here
To show me I’m not worthy

Your heartless words pierce my soul
Leaving me hating myself, and cursing my existence
After all that I’ve been through this should mean nothing
But it hurts so deep inside, like I’m slowly being murdered

I’ve cried out at least a million times
Trying to get God to hear me
But every time I try to do something right
You hold me down with evil words

Your heartless words pierce my soul
Leaving me hating myself, and cursing my existence
After all that I’ve been through this should mean nothing
But it hurts so deep inside, like I’m slowly being murdered

I walk alone, even in my dreams
Streams of tears running down my face
I have nothing to reach out for
I wish all this pain would end

Give me a reason to live
Give me a reason to hope for better things
‘Cause I’m lost in my life
And I’m tired of walking through darkness

I cry alone, even in my dreams
There is never anyone there to comfort me
I scream and try to hide from the world
‘Cause it feels as if nobody cares

Give me a reason to live
Give me a reason to hope for better things
‘Cause I’m lost in my life
And I’m tired of walking through darkness

I have no hope, not even in my dreams
The thoughts running through my head scare me
I close my eyes and try to be sane
But inside I’m going crazy for a chance to leave

I need a reason to live
I need a reason to hope for better things
I’m so tired of being lost in my life
“Could you please reach out and save me? ”

I am here
Trying to be strong
Fighting for my freedom
But you won’t let go

My dreams flying away
The heart-break is near, what will I say
I fall, I scream, but no one hears
Sinking to this floor, can’t hold on anymore
Praying that angels will catch my soul

I am running
Trying to just stay alive
But soon you catch up
And pull me down again

My dreams flying away
The heart-break is near, what will I say
I fall, I scream, but no one hears
Sinking to this floor, can’t hold on anymore
Praying that angels will catch my soul

I am being lowered into the ground
You push me further
I don’t know how to get out
Of this pit you dug for me

My dreams have flown away
The end is here, what will I say
I’ve fallen and screamed, no one will ever hear
Already on the floor, won’t hold on anymore
Praying that angels will catch my soul

God I begged you again and again
To hear my helpless cries
I’ve fallen to my knees every night
But you refused to answer

My prayers drift back to Earth
Seemingly unheard by the almighty
I finally cease to try anymore
And silently drift off to sleep

It’s another day and I again cry
“God hear me, God please answer”
I’m drowning in my endless fears
Help me, reach down and grab my hand

My prayers drift back to Earth
Seemingly unheard by the almighty
I finally cease to try anymore
And silently drift off to sleep

A year later, and things are still the same
I cry out to you every moment of every day
Yet you stay silent to my pleas
God, please I’m scared

My prayers drift back to Earth
Seemingly unheard by the almighty
I finally cease to try anymore
And silently drift off to sleep
