Neophobia

Standing on the edge of my intention
Looking down into my hell
And all I see are people in destruction
Begging for an answer

But above the hate they carry on in silence
They believe the only voice inside
And it’s not another nightmare of how you’ll surrender
Your life today

I hear their voices now
A pain awake again
Feel their eyes as you run
But you cannot hide
So you gotta release your soul tonight, yeah

This is my hell
I live to tell
The only story of how I betrayed my own direction
There’s now here to go
In time you’ll know
You gotta live to die

This is my hell
And time will tell
The only story of how I forgave my own deception
There’s nowhere to go
In time you’ll know
Today you’ve gotta die to keep yourself alive

You live, you die, and life goes on

Staring at the sight of my reflection
Broken by these silent screams
And all I feel are shards of imperfection
Piercing through my dreams

But another night I’ve wasted in defiance
I believe the only voice inside
And it’s just another nightmare of how I’ll surrender
My life today

I feel their presence now
A fear that takes me in
All the sins, all the lies
That you can’t deny
So you gotta release your soul tonight, yeah

This is my hell
I live to tell
The only story of how I betrayed my own direction
There’s now here to go
In time you’ll know
You gotta live to die

This is my hell
And time will tell
The only story of how I forgave my own deception
There’s nowhere to go
In time you’ll know
Today you’ve gotta die to keep yourself alive

You bleed, you bleed, you bleed
Your heart is bleeding
You’re on your knees you’re praying now
For all the sins and the tragedies you’ve buried deep
You breathe, you breathe, you breathe
Your soul is breathing
And now you feel the burn inside
So take your life and make it right

This is my hell
I live to tell
The only story of how I betrayed my own direction
There’s nowhere to go
In time you’ll know
You gotta live to die

This is my hell
And time will tell
The only story of how I forgave my own deception
There’s now here to go
In time you’ll know
Today you’ve gotta die to keep yourself alive

You live, you die, and life goes on

This is the life you chose
And you know the story must go on
