VILLAIN OF THE STORY LYRICS

1. The Dark Side

I am an abomination
As unclean and impure as they come
My hate is a strange sensation
Pushing me forward and it makes me strong

You don't have a single desire
I, on the other hand, desire it all
Power, unlimited power

It's time to take what is mine, your reign has come to an end
Back down, back down, you have already lost
I've found a power inside that you could not comprehend
Back down, back down, your entire existence will dissolve

I chose the path that you could never walk, you don't have what it takes
Holding back from your potential was a fatal mistake
Your ancient books tell you of a prophecy
A chosen monarch will bring peace and prosperity

Open your eyes
The chosen one is me

This is not peace

This is the dark side

This is the dark side

Feel the lightning from my finger tips
Feel your mind slipping as fear consumes it

Power, unlimited power

It's time to take what is mine, your reign has come to an end
Back down, back down, you have already lost
I've found a power inside that you could not comprehend
Back down, back down, your existence will dissolve

It's time to take what is mine, your reign has come to an end
Back down, you have already lost
I've found a power inside that you could not comprehend

2. Ashes

I get so sick of counting down my time
Drifting further from the surface as I'm buried alive
I lose my mind every time that I close my eyes
The pressure seems too much I don't think that I'll survive

Disease
Infecting every fiber of my body as I scream
A hunger growing stronger from within me
Please
Tell me when I went so blind oh please
Just tell me when and how I lost my sight
Cause nothing I feel seems right

I need to find a way
Out of this hell inside of me
I am the cause of all my self disdain
I'm searching for a way
To escape from this misery in me

I'm always looking for something more but no matter what it's never enough
I feel stuck face down in the ground and there's no one to pick me up
My head is pounding, I get surrounded by the fear of death
And I can't catch my breath

Another day I won't make it through
I start shaking and I don't know what to do
I can't eat or sleep and I can't feel my face
I am no longer a man
I'm just a boy who can't stand to be alone
Don't know how long this will last

I need to find a way
Out of this hell inside of me
I am the cause of all my self disdain
I'm searching for a way
To escape from this misery in me

I'm sick of being scared to die
But I have nowhere left to hide
Nowhere left to hide

I need to find a way
Out of this hell inside of me
I am the cause of all my self disdain (self disdain)
I'm searching for a way
To escape from this misery in me

Disease
Infecting every fiber of my body as I scream
A hunger growing stronger from within me
Please
Tell me when I went so blind oh please
Just tell me when and how I lost my sight
'Cause nothing I feel seems right

3. Lying To Myself

A life laid out in front of me
With my hands tied behind my back
I've lost control of the wheel
My visions turned to black

Predetermination of what I'm meant to be
Your manipulation has taken over me
Nothing but a puppet that's hanging from your string
But now my eyes are open and I am breaking free

I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose, so please set me free

The picture perfect mask you hide behind
This role that you've been playing for the longest time
It took awhile but now I see
All the vile shit inside your mind (inside your mind)

You've had your grip on me for far too long
Thought you had pure intentions but I was dead wrong
The day I forget my passion is the day I won't know who I am
Now I regret every second that I spent with you

So I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose, so please set me free

(I'll never walk down the road you paved)
You won't dig my grave

I need to stop lying to myself
Because it's got me feeling overwhelmed
I won't fit inside these shoes you made for me
I've got nothing to lose, so please set me free

(Set me free)
I've got nothing to lose, so please set me free

4. Too Far Gone

You wanna point the blame for all your suffering
But do you really think your hands are clean
You wanna criticize the broken part of me
But do you think that it'll ease your pain

Destruction inside
What's left is fading away
Deception and lies
I know you're going insane

Now I don't know where you went wrong
But it's clear that you're too far gone
You've been fighting on the wrong side
If you'd only open your eyes you'll find
There's no way out for you now that you're too far gone
(Too far gone)

Don't try to drag me with you into the flames
I'm not another you can take for granted
So stop acting like you have an advantage
Don't wanna hear you running your mouth
You're so loud always talking all about yourself
And how it's been so hard being the victim
When it comes to attention you've got an addiction

You're just another disgrace
You'll never be the same

Now I don't know where you went wrong
But it's clear that you're too far gone
You've been fighting on the wrong side
If you'd only open your eyes you'll find
There's no way out for you now that you're too far gone
(Too far gone)

I've tried to keep this inside
But you can't be saved

I can't believe that this is what you've become
Why can't you see the pain that can't be undone

(Now I don't know where you went wrong)
(But it's clear that you're too far gone)

Now I don't know where you went wrong
But it's clear that you're too far gone
You've been fighting on the wrong side
If you'd only open your eyes you'll find
There's no way out for you now that you're too far gone
(Too far gone)

5. Suffer

Suffer

You can't just show up when you want
Always stepping in when it's convenient
You will not ever know the cost
Of giving up what you've created

Your only real achievement
Denied he was yours, now you want involvement
You're an absolute disgrace
He thinks you care but we both know that's not the case

You'll never know the true meaning of sacrifice
You think everything that you've done is somehow justified
All your empty promises and your pathetic lies
I'll never understand how you could ever sleep at night

I wish you'd swallow your pride
And stay the fuck away
Stop playing games with his mind
Acting like you're here to stay

I hope when you're old and gray
You'll look back and feel the pain
Realize what you gave up
Knowing you could never be enough

You treat this like it's a game
Letting him love you then you walk away
Over and over, again and again
I pray you'll have remorse some day

I hope you feel the pain

I hope you feel the pain
I hope you feel the pain
I hope you feel the pain
I hope you suffer

6. Who I've Become

The days go on and on and I barely blink an eye (blink an eye)
I have done plenty wrong, all without a clear state of mind
Somewhere along the way, I lost myself
Trying to clear my mind, why can't be like everyone else?

I'm forcing down all the hate
That I have against who I've turned into
Please just give it to me straight
Because I need to hear

The truth about what's wrong with me
So hopefully, one day I'll change all of the things I cannot see

I feel I'm living a lie
The ghosts of my past feel so alive

I can't believe that this is who I've become
I've been reflecting on the things I did and should have done
My stubbornness and arrogance have left me feeling sore
I'm a mess and I can't take it anymore

I feel the guilt
I feel the shame inside of me

I used to spend so many nights
Just staring at the empty sky
Hoping that the universe
Would take over and set things right

How could I have felt so justified?
Is there still time to make it right?

I can't believe that this is who I've become
I've been reflecting on the things I did and should have done
My stubbornness and arrogance have left me feeling sore
I'm a mess and I can't take it anymore

Forgive me, I'm begging you
Forgive me, I'm begging you

Forgive me, I'm begging you
(I used to spend so many nights)
Forgive me, I'm begging you
(Just staring at the empty sky)
Forgive me, I'm begging you
(I used to spend so many nights)
Forgive me, I'm begging you
(Just staring at the empty sky)

7. The Empty Room

I never knew the meaning of loneliness
But now I'm here in this empty room, soaking in silence
I've always had someone to fall upon
But now there's nothing, no reason to carry on

Save me
I'm fading away
Save me
I'm far from okay
I want to be okay

They see me sinking and look the other way
I wonder if they'd notice if I took my life today
They'd get on their soapbox with touching words to say
Talk about depression and how it took their friend away

Save me
I'm fading away
Save me
I'm far from okay
I want to be okay

Where did they go?
Why did they all just leave me here
Like I was nothing?
Like I never existed?

I had no value in their eyes
A useless object they despise
They despise

Save me
I'm fading away (I'm fading away)
Save me
I'm far from okay
I want to be okay

8. Decay

My life feels like a painting unfinished
But the artist died and here I lie just a sliver of an image
I feel that there's a purpose for my spirit
But it's trapped in place stuck in a cage suffering from this sickness
So here I am

My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
I don't wanna be afraid, be afraid but I'm so afraid
I've walked this road for miles yet I've never felt so far
From what I thought was happiness as I decay and fade away
Fade away

Most days it feels like I'm just going nowhere
A perfect mess progressing less as the end keeps getting closer
The world is shaking my bones are aching
I've slipped deep in a sleep without a sign of waking
So here I am

My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
I don't wanna be afraid, be afraid but I'm so afraid
I've walked this road for miles yet I've never felt so far
From what I thought was happiness as I decay and fade away
Fade away

Discouraged and out of breath
No courage nothing left
Will I let this be the end
Discouraged and out of breath
No courage nothing left
Will I let this be the end

(My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark)
(I don't wanna be afraid, be afraid)

My mind feels like a child left alone in the dark
I don't wanna be afraid, be afraid but I'm so afraid
I've walked this road for miles yet I've never felt so far
From what I thought was happiness as I decay and fade away
Fade away

9. Without You

I lie awake through these endless nights
I see your face when I close my eyes
Reach out my hand, thinking that you're real
My heart skips a beat but there's nothing to feel

(Come back)
(Come back to me)

I'd give it all away, I would give anything
For another day, another day with you
Just take the pain away, there's not much more I can take
Living another day, another day without you

I still can't believe that you're out of reach
Is this the way that it was meant to be?
With you taken away from me (from me)
Tell me that this is nothing but a dream

(Come back)
(Come back to me)

I'd give it all away, I would give anything
For another day, another day with you
Just take the pain away, there's not much more I can take
Living another day, another day without you

I'd give it all away, I would give anything
For another day, another day with you
Just take the pain away, there's not much more I can take
Living another day, another day without you

10. Piece Of Mind

In the shade again
I've fallen right into the masquerade again
Can't for the life of me remember when
I got lost somewhere between now and then

I had a vision for something more
A fire inside me and I felt it to the core
So much of the world I wanted to explore
But I never made it five feet from my door

I'm done wasting away
No excuses, there is nothing left to say
Finding a spark deep down in the dark
It's far from easy but I needed a brand new start

This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time
That I had any peace of mind

I've fought for this, I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally, I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be

I was fixated on the expectations
Of everyone around me, I was so frustrated
I became addicted to always overthinking
Everything I did, I had nothing to give

I started disappointing everyone
Always letting down the ones that I love
This road is covered in ice and paved with sacrifice
I gave it all away and I paid the price

This is the only way that I will find
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time
That I had any peace of mind

I've fought for this, I've bled for this
There is no turning back now
And finally, I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be

I'm done wasting away
I'm done wasting away

This is the only way that I will find (I will find)
Something near to happiness in this life
I can't remember the last time
That I had any peace of mind (peace of mind)

I've fought for this, I've bled for this
There is no turning back now (turning back now)
And finally, I'm able to see
The place I'm meant to be (meant to be)

I'm done wasting away
