Sunday 04:42
Sunday Nothing changes The children playing in the park Sunday Conscience fading Daydreaming somewhere in the dark A dream without colors Awakening horrors Will it end? So take my hand And stay with me Please rest with me Don't ever leave Sunday Red stream pouring I lay down motionless Sunday Calm and quiet I'm fading into nothingness To hell with tomorrow I'm drowning in sorrow I'm ending this So take my hand And stay with me Please rest with me I'm so sorry Will you ever forgive me?

What if I say What I'm feeling Isn't real And it never was What if I say This is wrong I'm not kidding And I never was Things won't be the same What if I say You're not the one I thought I loved Deep down in my heart What if I say I am done with this Would you hate me? Would you even care? Maybe it never was Something Something beautiful It crashed and burned In the end Oh something Something beautiful You had to screw up Everything (solo) Why would I try to pretend And let my love go to waste I'd rather give my heart to someone else This isn't something Something beautiful It crashed and burned Anyway Maybe it never was something Something beautiful You had to screw up Everything I'm leaving you, this is the end I'm leaving you, this is the end I'm leaving you, this is the end

Far Away 04:29
For so long Far and wide I've been searching I've been searching A place to be Full of light Out of reach Far from here Beyond what I see Beyond what I dream Beyond what I see Far away For so long I know I've been trying I've been trying To be alone To be free Out of reach Far from here Beyond what I see Beyond what I dream Beyond what I see

Sepia Leaves 06:32
In the distance Floating out to sea There's a man Trying not to sink To sink In the shadows Praying out to God There's a priest Trying to believe Believe Lost souls Falling down Free me I'm trying to be All I can be Free me I'm wasting away Like sepia leaves In the dark room reaching for a pen There's a writer Drowning in his words His words In the cellblock Locked inside a cage There's a killer Waiting for the end The end Lost souls Falling down Free me I'm trying to be All I can be Free me I'm wasting away Like sepia leaves (interlude) (solo)

Restless 03:38
Here I am Alone again Cold in bed I wait for her Here I am It's late again Restless eyes Won't find sleep This time Tonight Tonight Here I am Awake and tired I'm not As strong as I thought I was Without you Without you Keep me safe from myself Keep me safe from myself Keep me safe from myself Keep me safe from myself

Child 05:22
Wake up child Time to go Hear me child No time For tears Mother always said You're only wasting time Enjoy it while it lasts Then walk in a straight line It all ends here So quit your dreams It all ends here So quit your dreams Get up child Stop chasing stars Give up child Let your mind Go numb again Mother I'm so sorry I won't do it again I will stop trying And give you what you want And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams And I'll stay here Forgetting dreams Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh Ahhh

Let Go 04:39
Walking down the road Through empty black fields I can see myself Getting disconnected Relationships gone I'm on my own now All the usual things Sort of faded away And now as I sit here At the edge of my bed It's time to move on But I just don't want to let go Let go Let go Let go Fear as it comes Don't let it take you down Sadness as it comes Don't let it take you down Hatred as it comes Don't let it take you down Just let it all go Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go I feel this wretched guilt Deep inside my heart And it seems to me That I'm going under And now as I stand here Half buried in sand It's time to move on But I just don't wanna let go Let go Let go Let go now Fear as it comes Don't let it take you down Sadness as it comes Don't let it take you down Hatred as it comes Don't let it take you down Just let it all go Let it all go Let it all go Let it all go

Rain Fall down And fill My heart For happiness Is just a shadow In my past Pain Come to me And stay Burn me deep For loneliness Is my companion In these times Ahhh Love Bleeds inside And tears me apart You are so close Yet you are So far away Ahhh I'm trying hard to see I'm trying hard to reach you Uhhh Reach you Uhhh Reach you Uhhh Uhhh Rain Falling down I stay Arms stretched out Imagining Your happy face Like yesterday Pain It goes away I feel The warmth so close I hug the void As the train slips away

Endless Days 05:41
Here I am at the sea Memories in my mind The cold sends chills Down my spine I say goodbye We will meet again Feeling the mystery Of all things unseen I'm going alone To seek my destiny Endless days Passing by I'm still searching for my soul Endless days Passing by I have to find the meaning of it all Endless days Passing by Passing by Here I am In deep waters My past life so behind I cannot see the light It's no good Will this ever be the way I wanted? Feeling the mystery of all things unseen My spirit is driven to find its destiny Endless days Passing by I'm still searching for my soul Endless days Passing by I have to find the meaning of it all Endless days Passing by Passing by (solo) No matter how hard I try I can't see beyond what's in front of me But I will keep trying 'till my heart beats no more The sun is hiding And nighttime arrives This longing for happiness Is carved deep in my heart I will find my soul Somehow Someday Endless days Passing by I'm still searching for my soul Endless days Passing by I have to find the meaning of it all Endless days Passing by Passing by (solo)
