If I can imagine it I’ll make it to be And whisper slowly down below A box of secrets, which no one knows Was lost into the ground If it’s all unchained to the world Well this could be murder If it’s all gone to waste Would relieve this burden If we are, who we are, and will always be Like we would be, like we could be like we should be Never would be, never could be, never should be Pray for sickness, pray for health Pray to stain the body’s cells Trapping victims in your nightmare hell Pray for passion, soul, and grief Pray your gods and ghosts to sleep Trapping victims in your nightmare hell If it’s all unchained to the world Well this could be murder If it’s all gone to waste Would relieve this burden If we are, who we are, and will always be Like we would be, like we could be like we should be Never would be, never could be, never should be A letter to god, if he reads these things A letter to go, on paper wings A letter to god if he believes in me Like we would be, like we could be like we should be Never would be, never could be, never should be If it’s all unchained to the world Well this could be murder If it’s all gone to waste Would relieve this burden If we are, who we are, and will always be Like we would be, like we could be like we should be Never would be, never could be, never should be A letter to god, if he reads these things A letter to go, on paper wings A letter to god if he believes in me Like we would be, like we could be like we should be Never would be, never could be, never should be

The way that she sings Brings the strength of courage in motion The way that she screams Finds it strange to feel this devotion Time out the sequence you can’t understand this Why are you sleeping alone? Rhyme out the reasons you can’t understand this Why are you dreaming of home? The way that she screams With my hands around her complacent For all that it means It’s the flesh I give you the bones you wear Time out the sequence you can’t understand this Why are you sleeping alone? Rhyme out the reasons you can’t understand this Why are you dreaming of home? But you’re…. Out of time, in play, accused of sorcery No time, infect, infused in my machine…. The way she spoke to me, I ran, from the guilt I ran And when she woke with me I ran, from the guilt I ran From the guilt I ran, from the guilt…. Give me sunshine, give me rain, give me subjects for the pain And do we know when we’ll belong From the guilt I ran… Give me sunshine, give me rain, give me subjects for the pain And do we know when we’ll belong

The water turns the wheel, which drains the life Accustom barriers to feed this diet His pulse isn’t giving any sign But rest assured, we’ll be just fine All we have is a lifetime wishing to change All we have is a lifetime wish it away All we have is a lifetime, we hope and wait for the right time There’s no such thing as the ghosts that live in your place The worst is over You’ll burn in sulfur The worst is over…. No compassion, no mistakes, no regrets one foot in the grave Acquiesce and take account, of what you’ve done All we have is a lifetime wishing to change All we have is a lifetime wish it away All we have is a lifetime, we hope and wait for the right time There’s no such thing as the ghosts that live in your place There’s no such thing as ghosts… All we have is a lifetime wishing to change All we have is a lifetime wish it away All we have is a lifetime, we hope and wait for the right time There’s no such thing as the ghosts that live in your place There’s no such thing as ghosts…

You’re feeling inspired, with social esteem You hate your life away And pick up the pieces, the scattered remains Then hope to hear you say… Betray the truth, I overcome Inflicting whispers, one by one When all that we know is… That hope and dreams are for nothing at all Would fate reveal to us (something is wrong) That life it seems is a meaningless crawl And words revealed to us (mean nothing at all) There goes your worry; there goes the strength of dignity I hold the iron weight No running on empty, no path to the streets laid clear I hold the iron weight Betray the truth, I overcome Inflicting whispers, one by one When all that we know is… That hope and dreams are for nothing at all Would fate reveal to us (something is wrong) That life it seems is a meaningless crawl And words revealed to us (mean nothing at all) NOTHING AT ALL That hope and dreams are for nothing at all Would fate reveal to us (something is wrong) That life it seems is a meaningless crawl And words revealed to us (mean nothing at all) Hope and dreams are for (nothing at all) Life it seems is for (nothing at all) Hope and dreams are for (nothing at all) Life it seems is for (nothing at all)

He told the story He told it right Enrich the virtue The child will beg for his life I have no mercy I have no choice Lay down your sword, boy My name is a powerful voice I swear my soul to butane (beauty) I tear your soul to tiny pieces You wear it well The pride on your shoulder Don’t turn away from me My bidding’s not over “You killed my father… Was cut from a blade” Oh you’ll remember, Oh you will remember my name! I swear my soul to butane (beauty) I tear your soul to tiny pieces Another taste, another time Oh you will remember for the rest of your life These scars I leave on your cheek will remind you (of me) So far I need not repeat that I’m kind too Then walk away, and see me smile As the sun lays down oh you’ll remember…. I swear my soul to butane (beauty) I tear your soul to tiny pieces Another taste, another time Oh you will remember for the rest of your life I swear my soul to butane (beauty) I tear your soul to tiny pieces Another taste, another time Oh you will remember for the rest of your life
