Lyrics
There's no one here in this town
I rise up slowly and pull myself up off of the ground
With an angry heart
That holds the mystery that's tearing me apart
My eyes are closed
A voice is whispering terrors to my soul
I'm in search of hope
In search for meaning
I'll search forever
These lies have all become the truth
I suffer my illusions nightly
We die alone, alone and ruined
And wandering through the halls
I see ghosts - they're walking
And as I go, they're talking
But they don't seem to think about how I know they're gone
Realize that there's no other route
The only way out is through
Through miles of broken glass and endless seas of sadness
You all just better get used to this
'Cause this is your new home
These lies cannot control the group
How can I conquer my delusions when they're so frightening?
We cry alone in this lonely room
But no one ever comes
Chorus
Deny the lies - behold the truth
I don't come to my conclusions lightly
Ignite the fires and blow the roof
We're marching through the walls
Chorus
