The Darkest Days lyrics
DRIFTING AWAY
​
Live or die symphony
Nightly spark no one sees
A wandering soul that's long gone out of control
Staring eye, empty sleep
Cold night crawls over me
Is this nightmare never ending for me?
Time flux has not been the same
Since you’ve been gone
I’m floating and drifting away
Like the green leaves turn to brown
Like a storm that gathers
And sky turns to grey
Silent tears will tear me down
Life has been stolen
I’m fading away, away
Run and hide melodies
New day rise, nightly weeps
Hunger for an answer I can't control
Gentle touch on my skin
Lights a fire within
Is it my mind playing tricks on me?
Time flux has not been the same
Since you’ve been gone
I’m floating and drifting away
Like the green leaves turn to brown
Like a storm that gathers
And sky turns to grey
Silent tears will tear me down
Life has been stolen
I’m fading
Like the green leaves turn to brown
Like a storm that gathers
And sky turns to grey
Silent tears will tear me down
Life has been stolen
I’m fading away
MIRROR IMAGE
It's said that time can heal
(How can) that possibly be as my wounds bleed
Right before my eyes
(Life is) dripping out my veins
With every beat of my heart
I can't face the truth
(Exposed) in a glass room that mirror images me
I can't recognize (myself)
I can't see a way out
As I cast myself from the ice shelf
(I built) skyscraping walls to prevent me from getting out
From my own guilt
I should have been brave enough to
Face my one and only enemy
And do not surrender to fear
And do not surrender to me
Intoxicated (In fear)
Driven by a freezing despair
Looking at demons
I thought I had cast out long ago
I can't face the truth
(Exposed) in a glass room that mirror images me
I can't recognize (myself)
I can't see a way out
As I cast myself from the ice shelf
(I built) skyscraping walls to prevent me from getting out
From my own guilt
I should have been brave enough to
Face my one and only enemy
And do not surrender to fear
And do not surrender
(I built) skyscraping walls to prevent me from getting out
From my own guilt
I should have been brave enough to
Face my one and only enemy
And do not surrender to fear
And do not surrender
HIDEPLACE
I was so small and felt so fragile
I could fall
Still I would get up
And keep walking on
I saw the whole world turn ‘round
And turn its back on me
Cause it was easier to sit and laugh
and wait for everyone to hit the wall
And crash their faces
But not me
I never wanted it to be this way
Not me
I’d give my hand for you to take
I’d walk alongside
I’d be there to dry your tears
And hold you
And be your safe place
And be your hideplace
I’ve been through all of this before
I know what it's to stare and not be able to cross that door
The mere thought of leaving is so frightening
The world keeps turning ‘round and ‘round
And turn its back against me
Cause it is easier to sit and laugh
and wait for everyone to hit the wall
(And crash their faces)
But not me
I never wanted it to be this way
Not me
I’d give my hand for you take
I’d walk alongside
I’d be there to dry your tears
And hold you
And be your safe place
And be your hideplace
I know I can't change your destiny
But I can try to be you soothing breeze, oh yeah
You’ve gone black and white in a grayscaled life
Come out and let your colors shine
​
I never wanted it to be this way
I’d walk alongside
I’d be there to dry your tears
(and hold you)
And be your safe place
And be your hideplace
And be your safe place
And be your hideplace
​
PIECES
Looking closer
It doesn’t seem I’m losing it for no
Reason at all
Looking closer
It’s easier to see the fragments of truth
Scattered on the floor
You can match all the parts of the
Puzzle I’m broken into
Pieces
A shattered soul that’s tried too hard
To built it up
Fallen in pieces
Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time
Time after time
Looking closer
Catch the slightest of the details
And signs of time
Rotten, forgotten
You can feel the air so heavy
With the dust
You can match all the parts of the
Puzzle I’m broken into
Pieces
A shattered soul that’s tried too hard
To built it up
Fallen in pieces
Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time
Time after time
I have tried so hard
To a reassemble all the parts of me
Make me whole so I'll break
Time after time after time
Pieces
A shattered soul that’s tried too hard
To built it up
Fallen in pieces
Crumbled ruins of a place destroyed in time
Time after time
Time after time
Time after time
MISTAKE
Choices the bottom of my soul regrets
The goodness given for the best has taken a Strange path
When so much of me is at stake
When I close my eyes
I see all that could have been If I couldn’t feel at all
Those voices saying things I know I’m not
They haunt me in every step and breath I take
I know this was a huge mistake
I gave everything I had and
Even more than I thought that I could ever get
I got back a knockback
So tired of being crystal clear and being blinded
With things they know I wanna hear
I cannot take this anymore
The guilt is mine to bear, so I will shut the door
Those voices saying things I know I’m not
(They are telling lies and I must let them go)
They haunt me in every step and breath I take
(They are ghost I must get rid of)
I know this was a huge mistake
These ghosts that haunt me
I must let them go
Those voices saying things I know I’m not
(They are telling lies and I must let them go)
They haunt me in every step and breath I take
(They are ghost I must get rid of)
I know this was
I know this was a huge mistake
RISE AND FALL
Today the taste is sour
As it was three years ago
My mouth is used to this bitterness
I can taste it in a different way
See it from a new point of view
But it’s hard to make them see
What they so don’t want to
It’s like a charm, a spell or something
I cannot control
When love grows so deeply in infertile soil
You can catch a glimpse of light again
A rise for further fall
I feel so vulnerable and they know I am
It’s easy to be cheated to be friends
The mere touch of a hand is enough
To make me feel like I'm alive again
It’s like a charm, a spell or something
I cannot control
When love grows so deeply in infertile soil
You can catch a glimpse of light again
A rise for further fall
I thought I could be protective
But I can’t do so for myself
This illusion hides the pain away
Showing off as bold is tiring, drains away
All that’s left inside of me
It’s like a charm, a spell or something
I cannot control
When love grows so deeply in infertile soil
You can catch a glimpse of light again
A rise for further fall
A rise for further fall
A rise for further fall
HYPERBOLIC
My shoulders are overburden with the weight of the world
My joints are all melting on my burning blood flush
These people are staring
Laying eyes over me as I am wasted away
No one ever says “hey how are you?”
“do you need anything?”
“What have you been through?”
Time will tell, time will tell
But how long? But how long?
And I know what there is inside
And the worst is that I never miss, I never miss
And I never get things wrong
Wrong impressions are not my own
Are not my own
Feeling like my brain is about to blow up
Like I run a race I can never catch up
Persecution doesn't sound maniac to me
As I am chased away
Everyone’s asking what did you do?
Did it mean anything?
What I have been through
Time will tell, time will tell
But how long? But how long?
And I know what there is inside
and the worst is that I never miss, I never miss
And I never get things wrong
Wrong impressions are not my own
Are not my own
Time will tell, time will tell
But how long? But how long?
And I know what there is inside
and the worst is that I never miss, I never miss
I never get things wrong
Wrong impressions are not my own
Are not my own
Time will tell
But how long?
But how long?
Time will tell
NO MAN’S LAND
Intentions can be the best
But who said you can measure that?
It’s all inside of you
The world may be too much
Or too little from another’s point of view
It’s all inside of you
Think someone would try to make me smile…
In vain
Think one’s world would turn around my life…
In vain
‘Cause hearts are no man’s lands
Although I wish it could be that I’d
Reach out for your hand
Leave these wastelands I find myself in
Look around, don’t see a thing
Look away cause it hurts to face the truth
It’s all inside of you
Try to find a way out
Leading to nowhere else than a road
To go inside of you
Open eyes and ears and arms and soul…
In vain
All that’s coming from outside will not remain
‘Cause hearts are no man’s lands
Although I wish it could be that I’d
Reach out for your hand
Leave these wastelands I find myself in
Hearts are no man’s lands
Although I wish it could be that I’d
Reach out for your hand
Leave these wastelands I find myself in
No man’s land
I find myself
In a no man’s land
MASQUERADE
Smiles have turned out to be hiding a selfish kind
You speak up like you spill out what is on your mind
All of the sudden reality strikes when it comes to advantages
You’re thinking, obviously, only about yourself
And you’re pretending to care about someone else
Well it is not mandatory to step into other one's shoes
​
Being human, feeling human
How can you not feel at all?
Being human, feeling human
How can you live when someone else is not?
Masquerade, run away
Suffering will come anyway
Run away (x4)
​
You can’t pretend that you are not part of a whole
But you can hide and see all things through a keyhole
Run away and shift axis of problems with
Your hands washed in blood
​
Every sign of demise that there is in here
Every actual demise that there is in here
All of your linen is tainted with all of the guilt that you hold
​
Being human, feeling human
How can you not feel at all?
Being human, feeling human
How can you live when someone else is not?
​
Masquerade, run away
Suffering will come anyway
Masquerade, run away
Suffering will come anyway
Run away (x4)
​
Being human, feeling human
Being human
How can you live when you’re hiding behind a mask
​
When you’re trying to run away
Suffering will come anyway
​
Masquerade, run away
Suffering will come anyway
Masquerade, run away
Suffering will come anyway
Run away (x4)
A NEW STAND
The eye of mind is open wide
The piercing words enter my brain
And I feel alive again
I can stand up and fight once again
When purity reveals the truth
the things that are, “the what it is”
I can stand and a new day begins
I have to believe it was all meant to be
Those days are over
Sorrow is gone
I will grow older
Knowing that all that I’ve done
Never turned to dust
Never turned to dust
Never was in vain
And if I could I would do it all again
Because it’s not my fault
They see a chance and try
To burn down the walls
When purity reveals the truth,
the things that are, “the what it is”
I can stand and a new day begins
I have to believe it was all meant to be
Those days are over
Sorrow is gone
I will grow older
Knowing that all that I’ve done
Never turned to dust
THE DARKEST DAYS
It's been the darkest days
The darker side of me
The part I try my best to hide
From everyone that's near
The hands so used to showing
Somebody else's flaws
Hold the same fingers pointing towards me
Three times more
The pain is unbearable
The fear inconceivable
The will to leave it all is unbelievable
The darkest of nights
Show the brightest of stars
I will let them guide my way
(Please take me from this dark place)
The coldest of daybreaks will
Bathe me in sunlight
And hold me in a warm embrace that
Fills me in with light and sets me free
The strength inside my soul
Cornered somewhere I can't reach out
I hear that I must go
Will I ever do this somehow
Stare at nothingness
The void that's filled me in
No whos, or hows or wheres
No craves upon my dreams
The only way out is to dive all the way in
The only way out is to dive all the way in
The darkest of nights
Show the brightest of stars
I will let them guide my way
(Please take me from this dark place)
The coldest of daybreaks will
Bathe me in sunlight
And hold me in a warm embrace that
Fills me in with light and sets me free
