I know what you think this is, but it's not your destiny There's no stranger place than this This is all just one big lie, the truth can not be found here Take a look in your mind's eye You'll be in danger, you'll never see it You'll be facing certain doom You'll run out of time, you'll run out of hope When you're in the danger room Hide from the eye in the sky, prepare for a Judas kiss Your past must be left to die Locked in a room with no door, you will not find a way out Trapped here in this endless war You'll be in danger, you'll never see it You'll be facing certain doom You'll run out of time, you'll run out of hope When you're in the danger room You'll be in danger, you'll never see it You'll be facing certain doom You'll run out of time, you'll run out of hope When you're in the danger room The danger room is alive, it knows your every move The game will go on, here there is no fair play The walls are closing in, there's no more open space You must make a stand, there is no other way There is no beginning, here there is no ending The game will go on, you must not lose control Just reveal your true self, the choices must be made Fight with all you've got, don't let it break your soul

So you woke up early this morning Only to find you're alone again It feels like this might be a warning You know that you don't deserve this This is not your idea of fun Sitting here all alone and depressed Now you're just another lonely one You know that you don't deserve this Sometimes your life goes something like this Something like this Sometimes you feel so down Something like this You might think you have the worst of life Something like this You can still turn it all around Something like this So you get home late, the day has passed As you drag your feet and hang your head You wonder how long this all will last You know that you don't deserve this Sometimes your life goes something like this Something like this Sometimes you feel so down Something like this You might think you have the worst of life Something like this You can still turn it all around Something like this Sometimes your life goes something like this Something like this Sometimes you feel so down Something like this You might think you have the worst of life Something like this You can still turn it all around Something like this Sometimes your life goes something like this Something like this Sometimes you don't belong Something like this Somewhere you know there's a better life Something like this Somewhere there is no wrong Something like this

Here we are again Wondering just what went wrong Questioning our love This is all a test Just to see if our love is strong Waiting in limbo Holding on while tears fall in our hands I don't want to fight It will only make things worse Filling us with hate We can make it through I know this love is not a curse Keeping us apart Holding on while tears fall in our hands Don't you give up, we have got to try We don't have to let the sweet turn to sour Don't you give up, we can work it out This does not have to be our darkest hour We should remember All of the dreams we have made Strengthening our love We've had some good times Memories I would never trade Holding each other Holding on while tears fell in our hands Don't you give up, we have got to try We don't have to let the sweet turn to sour Don't you give up, we can work it out This does not have to be our darkest hour Don't you give up, we have got to try We don't have to let the sweet turn to sour Don't you give up, we can work it out This does not have to be our darkest hour We do not need to live a lie And leave it all hollow inside We should not have to come crawling Holding on while tears are falling We can make it if we just try And leave the pain so far behind We do not have to make demands Holding on while tears fall in our hands

Duality inside is changing Each phase is a rude awakening Still, you are worried that you will lose Not realizing that you can choose You're facing off with yourself again This time you've got nothing to defend You talk to yourself as if you're two Never knowing if you're the real you You lose yourself in a world where freedom is dead You find yourself in a state where your mind is numb You see yourself in a time where you are younger You hide yourself in a place where you know no one Duality inside is your pain Separating yourself in your brain It seems you've been gone for a long time Imagination now takes your mind You don't remember where you have been A bridge you have burned can never mend You talk to yourself as if you're two Never knowing if you're the real you You lose yourself in a world where freedom is dead You find yourself in a state where your mind is numb You see yourself in a time where you are younger You hide yourself in a place where you know no one You lose yourself in a world where freedom is dead You find yourself in a state where your mind is numb You see yourself in a time where you are younger You hide yourself in a place where you know no one

Just stay right here, you're going nowhere If you don't know you don't care This is a dream, you should be aware You're on the verge of nightmare You know I know about the Evil deception of your twin disparity I know you know the void has Little discretion for your insincerity You think I think about the Alternative life you live beyond normalcy I think you think the end is Nothing more than just a state of despondency This is the way, I am everywhere I just wish you did not care This is a dream, I think you're aware You're on the verge of nightmare I think you think the end is Nothing more than just a taste of hypocrisy You think I think about that Superficial life you live with complacency I know you know the void has Everything you need to achieve sagacity You know I know about that Twisted little game you play with sincerity It's time you left, you must go somewhere If you think that I don't care This is a dream, I hope you're aware You're on the verge of nightmare

Time Lapse 04:59
Life is a dream passing through a time lapse Slipping away from a world of collapse You are afraid that you won't reach your goal Very afraid that you will lose your soul Passing through a time lapse While the seasons turn a deeper gray Hoping you won't miss out on life Maybe you will find a better way Living in anachronism Living in anachronism Death is so cold, leaving a memory Falling away, the years drift by slowly There is a chance, maybe you'll change your fate Please take the chance before it is too late Passing through a time lapse While the moment takes its toll on you Dreaming you are more than human Maybe you'll gain a new point of view Living in anachronism Living in anachronism Life is a dream passing through a time lapse Slipping away from a world of collapse Passing through a time lapse While the seasons turn a deeper gray Hoping you won't miss out on life Maybe you will find a better way Passing through a time lapse While the moment takes its toll on you Dreaming you are more than human Maybe you'll gain a new point of view

You are always there for me You give me all that I need I want all time to stand still In this realm, forever here with you Our love will live on into the future We have all we need here in this moment You erase all of my fears You love me through any tears I want to share all my dreams In this realm, forever here with you I'll always be there for you I'll give you all that you need We can make all time stand still In this realm, forever in our dreams Our love will live on into the future We have all we need here in this moment These are the best times that I ever had Alone here with you in this realm of forever
