12 Stones

Sometimes I feel like I am so far away
I'm lost inside my thoughts and I don't know what to say
I know I need you now more every day
I push I pull I run so far away

(chorus)
And I'm sick and tired of living this way
Sick and tired of being alone
Sick and tired of running from your love

Sometimes I feel like I am so far away
I'm lost inside my mind won't you help me find my way
And I know I need you now more every day
I push I pull I run so far away

(chorus 3x)
Well I'm sick sick sick and tired baby

Step back inside the lie again, you'll find you're
Wearing thin
Killing the sympathy as you take another swing
At me now
Fighting your inner self again, losing what
You feel
Shielded behind the lies that make you feel real
Now

It's over and i don't feel a thing but you're
Trying to break the scar again your spirit is
Bleeding as you grin but your bridge keeps on
Burning at both ends

In your mind, the ending seems to be so far from
What you need
Take back the memories as you smile to hide the
Pain from me now
Shut down the curiosity that brings you here
Again
No sense of purity as you try to take the life
From me now

Nothing that you ever say could ever possibly
Erase
All the hateful things you did and now i'm
Through with you nothing you could ever say

Nothing you could ever say
Hope you're happy now

It's a long walk back to reality, she puts another
Brick in the wall of shame she made so long ago
Trying to figure out where things went wrong
Searching through all the lies she told
Somehow she missed out on all the things that
She needed most days spent wondering why this
Life is so cold and nothing ever changes

Screaming for attention, watch the sun steal
Yesterday
Hiding all emotion far away

Trying to find his self confidence, another
Broken heart behind the painless smile that he
Shows reminded that yesterday is so far gone
And tomorrow is still a miracle somehow he
Missed out on all the things he needed most days
Spent wondering why this life is so cruel and
Nothing ever changes

Tomorrow's still a miracle

I walk to the edge again, searching for the truth
Taken by the memories of all that I've been through
If I could hear your voice I know that I would be okay
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay
Won't you stay

Will you be here or will I be alone
Will I be scared, you'll teach me how to be strong
And if I fall down will you help me carry on
I cannot do this alone

I wish that I could turn back time just to have one more chance
To be the man I need to be, I pray you'll understand
If I could hear your voice I know that I would be okay
I know that I've been wrong but I'm begging you to stay
Won't you stay

Will you be here or will I be alone
Will I be scared, you'll teach me how to be strong
And if I fall down will you help me carry on
I cannot do this alone

I need your hand to help me make it through again
Nothing compares to how I feel when I look at you
You never know, you never know tomorrow
You never know, you never know tomorrow
Don't walk away

Will you be here or will I be alone
Will I be scared, you'll teach me how to be strong
And if I fall down will you help me carry on
I cannot do this alone

Will you be here or will I be alone
Will I be scared, you'll teach me how to be strong
And if I fall down will you help me carry on
I cannot do this alone

I am not alone I know you're there
I am not alone I know you're there
I am not alone I know you're there
I am not alone

Biting the hand that feeds you, lying to the voice
Inside, reach out to beg for something this life
Is a lesson, take what you're given feeding on
Self destruction, waiting to explode again, no
Sign of resolution this life is a lesson, take what
You're given

You don't need direction to find your way, don't
You listen to yourself now and again killing
Time, killing you mind over matter, stop and
Listen to yourself now

Bend me before i breakdown, dying to be free
Within, it's not how you'd like to see it this life
Is a lesson, take what you're given forcing your
Self solution as you fall into line again, when
Will i find the answers this life is a lesson, take
What you're given

Falling to the ground, left face down as i recall
The mirrors ugly glare

Fear falls hard like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again

You put it to rest

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
We mistake your heart again

You put it to rest

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

Did you
Forget about the things I said
Fight the lies inside your head
Deny those who try to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptyness
Find the love and lose yourself
But life is like your just a memory

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up....

Mother mother
Can you hear me?
I keep trying
Just to find me all I know now, all you show me
Endless questions, hopeless ending

This bitter pill is pushing me away and now I feel
Like there's nothing left to say and I pretend to
Look the other way but in the end, will I be okay?
Will I be okay?

Father father
Will you be there as I cry out?
Silent again turning colder, frozen deeper
Numb to this dream sleeping within

Before I face another day
Won't you let me stay asleep
Lost among the dreams that always comfort me?
And before I find my feet, won't you show me
What I need, what I need to walk again?

This bitter pill
Is pushing me away
And now I feel
Like there's nothing left to say
And I pretend to look the other way
But in the end...

Will I be okay?
Never OK again
Never OK again
Never OK, never again, never again

Desperate and waiting, frozen to the core, numb
To this feeling, needing something more all i
Keep thinking is where i need to be, all i can hope
For is someone to take me away

Before you go you promise me something, i need
To know will you leave me lifeless leaving me
Lifeless

Will i bow down to this life that i live, will i find
Freedom or lose it all again all i keep thinking is
Where i need to be, all i can hope for is someone
To take me away

Before you go you promise me something, i need
To know will you leave me lifeless time moves so
Slow, i'm waiting for something, waiting for
Something again

Will i fall away from you, feelings that i never
Knew and i hope that i never fall away

How does it make you feel when I look away
Feelings that will never seem to fade I try to
Find you, you hold your head up high I let it all
Fall down do you hear me

Falling away fromt his pain so I can fly high,
Feeling low just let it show
And find the words to say what you mean

Screaming silent fears, nothing left to say, lost
Inside the words that bring you donw you try to
Find me, I hold my head up high, you let it all fall
Down do you hear me

Find the words to say how you feel inside
Find the words to say how you feel inside
Find the words to say

Something keeps on pulling me down
And I feel like I'm losing ground,
Trying just to find my reasons
And losing sense of what is real

Willing to believe in something,
Forgetting to believe in me
Will I find my place in your mind
Or will I fall away in time?

Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday

Waiting just to see the end,
As you follow down that road again
Trying just to find your purpose,
You're fading faster everyday

Willing to believe in something
Forgetting to believe in me
Will I find my place in your mind
Or will I fall away in time?

Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday

Now I'm feeling...

Now, I feel I'm losing time
And yesterday slipped away,
When you didn't move
And time and time, again
You wanted more than I had to give
And leave me with nothing

I'm waiting and dreaming
Yesterday slipped away,
When you didn't move
No more waiting,
Let me back

Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday

Now I'm feeling so far away
And now I'm hating you everyday

Now I'm feeling... so far away...

I'm sorry for needing
You to carry me
It's so simple sometimes
When you standing next to me

You never change
You never stay the same
Like a picture perfect sunrise
Every time with one last song to sing

Take it all away from me
And tell me how you want this to be
I want you, I need you

A life without you
Made me wonder why I'm here
Until I found you
Life never seemed so clear

You never change
You never stay the same
Like a picture perfect sunrise
Every time with one last song to sing

Take it all away from me
And tell me how you want this to be
I want you, I need you

I lose myself in everything you say
I lose myself in everything

Never knew I could feel this way
Never knew I could feel

I lose myself in everything you say

Look around and tell me what you see, a place
Surrounded by the hate that hides in the
Shadows inside of you, inside of me, what can we
Ever hope to see if we're not lookng don't you
Want to find your own way home again just leave
Your hate behind

When will you learn to just be you, find your
Own way
When will you learn to follow through, make
Your own way

Looking for something to believe, i find the
Answer starts with me each time i follow inside
Of you, inside of me, what can we ever hope to be
If we're not trying don't you want to find your
Own way home again, just leave your hate behind

Find another way to get inside me
Find yourself
Don't you want to find yoru own way home again
Just leave your hate behind

Fear falls hard like rain again
Washing over me
You say nothing will ever change
What do I believe
You fall deep inside again
There's nothing left to see
Weakness fills your heart again

You put it to rest

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

I try to see your face again
A photograph of me
Your voice calling out again
Nothing left for me
You try to find your place again
Waiting just to breathe
We mistake your heart again

You put it to rest

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything cause
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up

Did you
Forget about the things I said
Fight the lies inside your head
Deny those who try to bring you down
Kill the pain and emptyness
Find the love and lose yourself
But life is like your just a memory

Locked inside again
Locked inside again
Locked inside again

Forfeit everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up
Hoping everything
You were never strong enough
Close my eyes again
Pray that I will not give up....

I find myself in question again
And I doubt this Love you've given to me
I hope you understand when I say
I need this time to myself

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life

I know your open arms too well
Cause I뭭e lost myself there many times before
I need to slowly fall away
Far from the grip you have on me

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
It's my life

I gotta get away
One step away
I gotta get away
Just one step away
I gotta away you're pushing me away
I gotta get away
Well I'm gone

It's my life
I find myself in question again
and I doubt this love you've givin to me
I hope you understand when I say I need this time to myself

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
Well it's my life

I know your open arms too well
cause I've lost myself so many times before
I need to slowly fall away
fall from the, the grip you have on me

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
Cause it's my life

I'm fed up with this
you try to take
can't get away
I can't live like this
leave me alone
I'll never be
never be my own person
gotta get away
one step away
gotta get away
just one step away
I gotta get away
I'm pushin me away
I gotta get away
WELL I'M GONE!

You speak your mind to me again
You force your words so deep within
You try to tell me how to live
But it's my life
I find these words were never true
I've lost all my respect for you
I need to find my own way
Cause it's my life
IT'S MY LIFE!

As he raises his hand you begin to understand
That no love is worth the hate that you feel
Now you're running out of pain
And all these feelings feel the same
So you close your eyes and wish it all away

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

Now the time has come again
So you reach to God within
To find the strength that you have buried there
As you turn to walk away you can still hear him say
You'll never make it in this world alone

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)

You try to fight (you try to fight)
You hide the pain (you hide the pain)
You walk away (never again)

And I lie awake and I try to say
Anything I know just to ease your pain
But you hide away where no one can see
And it's only you that can set you free

I'm reaching out without a sound
My pride falls to the floor again
Inside my mind I search to find
A place just to call my own

Deep inside your eyes
I am blinded by your love
Still I run so far just to find that
I'm alone again

In my head
I hear you calling me
And I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside
Deep inside
Deep inside of my head

I just can't last as these feelings pass
Once again I hide the pain inside
The smile wears thin and the lies begin
To bring me down again

Deep inside your eyes
I am blinded by your love
Still I run so far just to find that
I'm alone again

In my head
I hear you calling me
And I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside of my head

When I run I run so far away from you
I hide the pain and all the lies deep inside again
And all my faith I put in you
This time you take it all away

In my head
I hear you calling me
and I can't run 'cause there's nothing left for me
When I fall you always follow me deep inside
Deep inside
Deep inside of my head

Inside my head
Inside my head

Deep inside my
My head

Every morning as I wake to another day
I bow my head hit my knees and I begin to pray
I search for answers that I wonder if I'll ever find
Running circles in the mazes deep inside my mind
You always take me to a higher level
Show me something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew

You push me you pull me

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

Everyday living this life not knowing what it means
Consolation from above fulfilling all my dreams
And as I look across the crowd in their eyes I see
All their troubles and their pain staring back at me
You always take me to a higher level
Show me something that's deep inside
You show me things I never knew
You push me you pull me

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see
You always give the best for me
Lift your hands high right where I can see

You set my soul on fire
You take me so much higher
Higher again
Thank you for it all

I hear the words you say to me
I see the way you look at me
I know what's on your mind so
Stand up get up back up now
Just stay away

I know the fear you hold inside
I know what's weighing on your mind
There's nothing you can do so
Stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me

You can't stand to see my face
To know you'll never take my place
There's nothing you can do but
Stand up get up back up now
Just stay away

I feel the hate you push on me
I see the things that you can't see
I know what's on your mind so
Stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me

It's not the things you say to me
It's not the things that I believe
You try to bring me down
So stand up get up back up now just stay away

It's not the things you say to me
It's not the things that I believe
You try to bring me down
So stand up get up back up

You're reaching out just to be like me
But you've fallen short
Still you're following me
You had the chance to bring me down
But there's nothing left
So just stay away from me
Now just stay away from me
Won't you stay away from me
Please just stay away from me
Just stay away

I need you to feel exactly like I do inside
But I feel so alone again
I try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

But I won't be afraid
Just because you don't need me
I will not be ashamed
Just because you don't believe in anything that I say
Now I turn and I walk away from you

I won't fade away
I won't fade away again

I find you down the road that I have walked before
And I know you're alone again
You try to find a better life
Somewhere far away from here
But I need you to believe in me

But I won't be afraid
Just because you don't need me
I will not be ashamed
Just because you don't believe in anything that I say
Now I turn and I walk away from you

I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no

You try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade away
you try to make me fade

but i wont be afraid
just because you dont need me
i will not be ashamed
just because you dont believe in
anything that i say now i turn and i walk away
from you i wont fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
I won't fade away no
