Through the darkness I learned how to dream Through the stone I learned how to bleed I am an empty shell Born and raised in living hell I'm pitch black on the inside Black rain soaks the ground Paints the world with death And sound of a heartbeat fades away From day to day I try to cover my footsteps Leave the past behind All my life I was turning a blind eye And now I've lost my sight How all the dreams seem now so bittersweet They were buried alive I would give everything that I hold within for a touch of lost colors I'm on my knees and the whole world weeps with me Long gone are memories All those melodies are starting to fade No place to run Under the pitch black sun Through the pain I learned how to fear Slave of the scars Through all these years I turned my skin upside down Spilled my guts all around I'm pitch black on the inside Hate all this hate that I gathered Mind over matter I curse you and I curse myself All the guilty and the innocent Each day I'm stronger But each day the weight on my shoulders grows And I know nothing lasts forever
