Lyrics

Oh, sweet innocence of youth A thing I long forgot A tightened chest with wings cut loose Is all your words have wrought How can I regain The colors in my head? Will the grey stain my thoughts With words left unsaid? I used to be a dreamer But that light no longer shimmers It faded to black With every new crack And when my world crumbled It's fall became my guide And awoke the devil inside It woke the devil inside I have tasted pain before But not quite like this You eat away my hopes And then you mask it all as a kiss How can I keep you from tearing me apart? What will be left of me when you are done? Just a husk in the dark? I used to be a dreamer But that light no longer shimmers It faded to black With every new crack And when my world crumbled It's fall became my guide And woke the devil inside It woke the devil inside Carve your name on my grave Go on, don't be shy You're the one who buried me Don't dare ask why I used to be a dreamer But that light no longer shimmers It faded to black With every new crack And when my world crumbled It's fall became my guide And woke the devil inside It woke the devil inside I clutch the earth to fight the tide I grit my teeth - I won't be denied This war within won't be confined Who will win? My heart? My mind I clutch the earth to fight the tide I stand tall and won't be denied All the rituals I've spoken free Made me who I was meant to me
