Why do I feel like I'm being dragged and drowned That I should have wings but instead I have this world weighing me down I've always followed my own path I make do with what I find But why am I still in a place where I want to be farthest away from Where every hope-filled start of a different day Quickly succumbs to the same decay It's getting harder to see the beauty in this existence When everything I long for can't be found It drags me further and further down I don't want to feel this way anymore I don't want to be this way anymore But I can't help it, I can't help it To deny what I feel inside would be to add another lie In a lifetime of lies and denial Hollow smiles and empty laughter Can no longer mask the void that has been pulling me under All I want is to stand firm in spite of it all But how could I when there's no solid ground to stand on Still, I try but I fall, I try and I fail I'm down on my hands and my knees Crawling in dirt and defeat I don't want to be this way anymore I don't want to feel this way anymore I don't want to live this way anymore I don't want to feel this way anymore 'Cause sometimes I feel that life doesn't want me around anymore That my presence here has long ran its course When almost every battle is lost When I need a welcoming hand, opportunity shuts its doors I'm slowly drifting towards dejection's all too familiar shore I don't want this negativity inside me I tried to disown it but the burden's truly mine to carry I know now that I have to embrace it, to fight it Before it weakens me completely, overwhelms me And becomes everything that I am I don't want to feel this way anymore I don't want to be this way anymore I don't want to feel this way anymore I don't want to live like this I don't want to be this way anymore I don't want to feel this hurt anymore I don't want to be this way anymore I don't want to feel anymore All I really want is to find true joy in this life In a world where everything revolves around how much you have And what you are is what you can show for it The material, the artificial, the inconsequential It only serves to magnify the hole where my heart used to reside As all life ends in the saddest of ways I know mine will be the same But when time finally takes away my need for air I want one question to remain Am I wrong to ever feel this way? Am I wrong to ever feel this way? Am I wrong to ever feel this way? Am I wrong to ever feel this way? Am I wrong to ever feel?

In a world that is becoming much too dark Where each silver lining has all been blocked By the blackest clouds of each passing day Unfeeling has always been the usual way When did it become so easy to dehumanize To ignore the life in somebody else's eyes And keep on going like there's nothing wrong "The world revolves around me alone" I wish I didn't have to see What it has all come to now 'Cause I think that I can no longer take What this place has become I need some kind of vessel Something to take me where everything is better And pain is of another world Will I catch a glimpse of heaven Or is it just this constant hell I need some kind of vessel To course hope in my heart again I wish I didn't have to feel What has become of us now 'Cause I'm losing all my faith That there are better days to come I need some kind of vessel Something to take me where everything is better Where hate is but another word Could there really be a heaven Or is it just another lie they tell I need some kind of vessel To take me far away from here 'Cause I'm sick and tired I'm so sick and tired Of this world that I see The sadness it brings If this is all that there is I don't want to be here I need some kind of vessel Something to take me away From all this pain From all this hate From all this greed From all this death From all this grief From all this guilt From all that I feel Take me away Take me away Take me away Take me away From all of this

Just when I felt I couldn't go on That all the reasons have all gone You became one When I knew there wasn't any sense To breathe a life so meaningless You gave it worth When I thought I've reached the end You gave me the will to start again...and to mend You give me something worth living for You showed me a world still worth fighting for When life just makes it unbearable 'Cause of you, I trudge on When all that faith did was blind my eyes I couldn't see past everyone's disguise You gave me truth When all the hurt would not subside I felt I've died far too many times You made me new When I thought I've reached the end You gave me the will to live again...and just mend You give me something worth living for You showed me a world still worth fighting for When life just makes it unbearable I will trudge on Alone again I know I'll never be alone again Know that you'll never be alone again I know I'll never be alone again No, you'll never be alone You are how I get through my bleakest days You are why I get through my bleakest days In all this darkness You, here, light my way...everyday You give me something worth living for You showed me a world still worth fighting for When life just makes it unbearable You give me something worth living for And much more...so much more In a place of heartache and not much more You are the reason I hang on
