Lament of Love

-Verse One-
Here I am without you
Inside this empty home
Your not there to greet me
I'll live my life alone

My life is not redeeming
Cause without you, I will try
To live a life without a meaning
I'd move on, but I'd rather die

-Bridge-
I'm so empty
I've grown so hollow
My actions have killed me
I'm destined to die alone

-Chorus-
If to live is to die
Then to love is to leave
If to learn means to try
Then I'm willing to bleed

If I lose you I won't try
To take another breath
To live without my life
Would surely mean my death

-Verse Two-
Here I am without the light
Inside this empty shell
You're not anywhere in sight
I'll live in my own hell

My life has no meaning
Without you, I swear I'll die
I can feel my heart breaking
Staying the same for all of time

-Bridge-
I'm so empty
I've grown so hollow
My actions have killed me
I'm destined to die alone

-Chorus-
If to live is to die
Then to love is to leave
If to learn means to try
Then I'm willing to bleed

If I lose you I won't try
To take another breath
To live without my life
Would surely mean my death

-Chorus Two-
If to live is to love
Then to die is to leave
Ive learned the truth to this
No longer being deceived

If I lost you I would die
Never take another breath
I've become a part of you now
Without you would mean death

-Outro-
Attached at the heart
These days never rest
We'll never be apart
Not even after death

Fade Away

-VERSE1-
Clawing under my skin
Tearing at me within
You will not take over
You will just grow colder

Forcing yourself through me
As you try to take my body
I will fight you through this
You're never gonna win

-BRIDGE1-
I'll keep you down
Bitter and afraid
I'll drown you out
Dead and dismayed!

-CHORUS-
You won't steal my life
Why can't you just see
You won't win this time
You can't ever be me

You can't take my face
I'm the master of my existence
You can't take my place
So now I banish you

Good riddance!

-VERSE2-
You'll always just be nothing
Like a mannequin; not quite alive
You'll always be a faded replica
Jaded and hollow inside

Parallel mirrored 'til the end
You are the one restrained
I'll keep you silent forever
You're just a living stain

-BRIDGE1-
I'll keep you down
Bitter and afraid
I'll drown you out
Dead and dismayed!

-CHORUS-
You won't steal my life
Why can't you just see
You won't win this time
You can't ever be me

You can't take my face
I'm the master of my existence
You can't take my place
So now I banish you

Good riddance!

-BRIDGE2-
If you can even beat me, I'd love to see you try
There's no way around it, you're the same as I

-CHORUS-
You won't steal my life
Why can't you just see
You won't win this time
You can't ever be me

You can't take my face
I'm the master of my existence
You can't take my place
So now I banish you

Good riddance!

-OUTRO-
You can't be me
You won't beat me
So just give up..

Fade away!
