Dead and Gone

by John, If You're Out There

Procession 02:31

Darkness is all around me Concealing all I feel Bury the pain within me A scar that’s left to heal Mocking me with their laughter Pretending not to hear Keeping up the illusion A lighter cross to bear Watching me suffer Down on my knees Hand on my throat Harder you squeeze Everything fades Turn out the lights Hold our your hand Ending my plight Now it’s all coming back The light floods in Tormented by my master Taught how to behave Scars run down my back Labeling me his slave Revolt is on my mind He will know my pain He will wear these chains And he will fear my reign Fear my reign
3.
Turn out the lights Tonight you sleep alone Curl in a ball And stare at the phone The phone stays silent You let out a sigh And then turn to the photo The last breath of you and I I miss what’s dead and gone I just can’t move on Drawing blood from a stone I just have to try Am I looking for an answer Or just feeding a lie? I miss what’s dead and gone I just can’t move on This tunnels caving in Escape is growing thin

Losing Sight 05:49
Made it through another day But somehow I’ve lost my way Looking back all this time I’m losing what I thought was mine I Just want be alone I’m doing fine on my own Every day I fade Just can’t take anymore I’m just somebody else Who doesn’t know what he’s for I’ve lost sight of what I’m doing here (Feels like I’ve been here before) My dreams they no longer adhere (Lost all that I adore) Feels like I’m going blind (Just can’t see any more) Darkness is all I find (What am I here for?) I just want to belong Am I doing this wrong I’m running away Just can’t face anymore Trying to escape But I can’t find the door Every day I fade (Every day I fade) Just can’t take anymore (I just can’t take anymore) I’m just somebody else (I’m just another man) Who doesn’t know what he’s for Doesn’t know what he’s for

Evolve 03:38
I’m not really here today My consciousness has gone away An Illusion is what I’ve become A realisation that leaves numb Something’s better left unsaid Are running now through my head So they the words they want to hear Just never let them see a tear
6.
Standing in the dark Waiting for his return Waiting by herself She watches the candles burn It’s been so long His face now a memory They took him away Before they could ever be She feels him near But he is no longer there She feels lost within As her heart sinks in She doesn’t know who she is anymore She doesn’t know what her life is for She is lost not found now he has turned around Now all she loved has drowned He drowned Once upon a time, you were mine But life goes on its fine It’s fine
7.
Last Regrets 05:33
Last regrets they come, easy now Memories fading out, somehow Waiting you can feel it, feel it now The years etched across, your fading brow Can you feel her drawing near? All your dreams and all your fear You can’t wait to see her again But first you must see the end Alone for so long, so many years Since she left your side left only tears Now you can decide what is your fate To be by her side or sit and wait Can you feel her drawing near? All your dreams and all your fear You can’t wait to see her again But first you must see the end And now the choices What will you sacrifice? Will you choose to stay? Will you roll the dice? You hear voices Yet you have to think twice What else can you say? Is it time to pay the price? You gave up everything, all in vain Lost forever, like tears in the rain Can you feel her distant now? All your dreams, they’re gone somehow You can’t wait to see her again But first you must see the end
8.
Walking alone at the edge of the park I stick to the shadows safe in the dark Curious glance I shuffle along Nothing is normal but is nothing wrong My mind is hazy but I carry on Voices inside me But soon they’ll be gone Water looks cold, surface is black Once I go in there’s no coming back A nervous sweat, lips to shake Secrets lurk deep in this lake What’s done is done I must carry on Voices are loud But soon they’ll be gone A frail whisper brings silence within me I search for an ending to this insanity Wake in a nightmare What have I done? There’s blood on my hands Now I start to run The voices have stopped now But I’m not at ease This hatred runs through me Like a disease Running away You can’t run away Running away You can’t run away
9.
Slowly disintegrated Everyone I love has gone I feel lost and confused I don’t know how to move on You were never there for me You were never meant for me Scars leave reminders of pain Scars that will never heal Warm tears run down my face Tears that remind me I can feel You were never there for me You were never meant for me You were never there for me You were never meant for me Without you I amount to nothing Without you I am truly alone And I’m all by myself In a world with a heart of stone Just let me leave this place
10.
Outbreak 06:04
Feeling like I’m sinking Fatigued from all this thinking Walking without purpose Head bowed with my clenched fist I know that you’re waiting For someone to take you away And as you look back at me You can watch me slowly decay My reflection looks so hollow Full of loss and sorrow I’m just waiting for tomorrow Where things might finally change for me Waiting for the rain To wash away my pain It’s driving me insane This outbreak won’t contain again
11.
You set me up to fail my friend You put me down time and again Once again I fall for the ruse When I play your game I’m destined to lose It’s over, all your game and lies They’re over, now I say goodbye You know I’m the last of my kind I won’t let you poison my mind So now you see the table have turned You try to mend The bridges you’ve burned Now you see there’s no way out You’re just a memory I can live without It’s over, all your game and lies They’re over, now I say goodbye You know I’m the last of my kind I won’t let you bring me to demise You bring me demise You’re so easy to deceive You can go but never leave Stuck in the web that they weave Now they leave you to believe On your hands and knees you pray You have no choice but to stay So you put the past away And they leave you to decay It’s over, all your game and lies They’re over, now I say goodbye You know I’m the last of my kind I won’t let you fuck my mind
