lyrics

Do you remember all the times when you felt you couldn’t make it?
Do you remember all the days when you didn’t want to fake it anymore?

When I think back I can see you
Crying on the floor
Locked up in your life
Too weak to try the door

I remember all your anguish
I remember all your shame
I remember all your heartache
I remember all your pain

Don’t you know?
It was me.

Yes, I remember all the days
I’d rather soon forget
The cold corrupting hold
Of your rancid silhouette

You really had me in your spell
You lead me in the dance
You watched me build a cell
I’ll never have the days you stole from me

You won’t hold me down again
You’re a parasite
You’re not part of me

And I have wasted so much time
Wringing hands and fighting wraiths
Now you’re the last in line
Another shade without a face

Was it worth it, after all?
Did you relish every fall?
Did I get what I deserved?

Speak to me now, are you powerful?
Can you see it through?
Misery, an eternity
I would like to see you try

This ends today
I won’t play your game
It’s time to say goodbye

Take back these chains
Take back this fear and shame
And I’ll take back my life.

Let me in
Together we’re complete
There’s no shame
In dignified defeat

Don’t you see?
It’s easier to just accept me

Let me in
And there’ll be no more doubt
Let me in
You’ll never cast me out

Let me in
Alone, you’re obsolete
Let me in
Together we’re complete.

Falling apart for the final time
Now I can see who you really are

Now I remember all the days
When you weren’t there at all
When the silence had no hold

It took a life to realise
When I really look inside

There’s a tortured counterpart
There’s a gallery of scars but
There’s no monster in the dark

Now I’m seeing crystal clear
Down the barrel of my life
And there’s nothing left to fear

You’re too quick to be outrun
Too strong to overcome
Everywhere I go, you’re there

Sacred sanctum torn apart
Rising feather, falling heart
There’s no monster in the dark

This ends today
I won’t play this game
It’s time, say goodbye

Take back these chains
Take back this fear and shame
And I’ll take back my life

You left me all alone like a broken toy
Festering in darkness like a ghost
Is it any wonder that the frightened boy
Grew to be the thing you fear the most?

We used to be the same

I won’t accept surrender
There’s no chance for armistice
My name is Domination
My word is Absolute

Let me in

We used to be the same
But now I’m something more
You’ll never cast me out, I’m in your soul
And this means war

As the violence falls to words
And words become as breath
All around, the heavy toll

A pale reflection among the ghosts
Beyond the veil of years
The splintered spirit now made whole

There are some wars that can’t be won
Some beasts that can’t be slain
No silver bullet, no crucifix

But if you believe you can be broken,
Believe you can be fixed

This ends today
We’ll find a better way
It’s time - say goodbye

So take my hand,
You’re not the Silent Man,
You’re part of me
I’m part of you
