Violent screams have me buckled down From the way that it seems We need a remedy Embody me and kill this aching emptiness These are just fantasies Embalming me As I sleep What if you covered the face of the sun I am just a man what gives me hope I've shrouded the pain for too long I'm under the gun As I take a breath and take the plunge We expose our fears As these two cities burn In the back of my mind The will to move the will to die So I guess these tombs are More suited for the living Behind the curse reveals a man And I'm broken down Is it just possibly Revealing me No time to breathe What if you covered the face of the sun I am just a man what gives me hope I've shrouded the pain for too long I'm under the gun As I take a breath and take the plunge We expose our fears As these two cities burn In the back of my mind The will to hope the will to die What weathers him in the night And if misery shadows fate Then I've been caught Caught living on borrowed time This is my life Life on a splintering thread Open my eyes And blind this soul Swing by the sway Clinched to the thread This is my life At the hands of a serrated edge Open my eyes And blind this soul Tear from my mouth The most violent screams What if you covered the face of the sun I am just a man what gives me hope I've shrouded the pain for too long I'm under the gun As I take a breath and take the plunge We expose our fears As these two cities burn In the back of my mind It's almost time The will to move It's almost time The will to hope It's almost time The will to die
