"i'm not a stranger
no, i am yours
with crippled anger
and tears that still drip sore
a fragile frame aged
with misery
and when our eyes meet
i know you see
i do not want to be afraid
i do not want to die inside just to breathe again
i'm tired of feeling so numb
relief exists
i find it when
i am cut
i may seem crazy
or painfully shy
and these scars wouldn't be so hidden
if you would just look me in the eyes
i feel alone here and cold here
though i don't want to die
but the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside
i do not want to be afraid
i do not want to die inside just to breathe in
i'm tired of feeling so numb
relief exists
i find it when
i am cut
pain
i am not alone
i am not alone
i'm not a stranger
no, i am yours
with crippled anger
and tears that still drip sore
but i do not want to be afraid
i do not want to die inside just to breathe in

"i was frozen in a fragile world
of make believe and empty lies
dressed in the riles of virtuous game
captured by the thought of fear and loneliness
afraid to cry
suffocated for trying to scream
and i want out now
to find myself
'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it could save me
i'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior?
oh, my naked skin feels the warmth of the sun
and my eyes are opened to the brightness of light
driven by a force so free to live this life
not paralyzed but with reckless abandon
so now i can breathe
i wanted out to find myself
don't do this
don't do that
and you'll be perfect
'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it could save me
i'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior?
'cause perfect only makes you crazy
there is no way that it could save me
i'm sick of feeling like a traitor
is this the price for good behavior?
oh so perfect

"you live inside a dream
where everything tastes so sweet
as long as it agrees with how you feel
you're dancing in your sleep
'til all the eyes that look at me
awaken your anxieties
you're so afraid
so you try to break me, yeah
i don't want to care
and i don't want to hate
and i don't want to see you fall too far away
all because of fear
'cause when you're afraid
you lash out at me
and you say all the things that you never meant to say
and try to break me
but in the end
what leaves you broken
in the end
makes you better, yeah
your face looks so green
when the sun is shining differently
and you're standing in the shade
'cause face to face you're sweet
like candy sticking to my teeth
but underneath so damaging
there is no strength in trying to break me, no
i don't want to care
and i don't want to hate
and i don't want to see you fall too far away
all because of fear
'cause when you're afraid
you lash out at me

what leaves you broken
in the end
makes you better, yeah"

"i've been carrying this old luggage
and it's been really bugging me
so when you called to see me
i couldn't believe it
could it really be
you need to feel forgiveness
i need to feel resentment
running down the drain
this bruising chain i've carried
is the pain that i am marrying today
now i can breathe
and i feel grace rush over me
it pours though my skin
and lets you in
and we are free
now i can breathe
and i feel grace rush over me
it runs through my veins
and what i taste is bittersweet
the clock is always ticking
bitterness grows by the minute
why can't we realize
the wounds that we're inflicting
on our flesh
it isn't healing
by keeping love inside
now i can breathe
and i feel grace rush over me
it pours though my skin
and lets you in
and we are free
now i can breathe
and i feel grace rush over me
it runs through my veins
and what i taste is bittersweet"

"oh i feel so tired
i cannot hardly keep open
my eyes
my thoughts are scattered
and i cannot say a word
and i can't seen to remember
anything i've learned
well do you have some of those days
when you can't be who you wanna be
when you just need to close your eyes
pull the covers up so high and drift away
and sleep so soundly
and dream profoundly
cast all your cares on the
only thing that you really need
and sleep so soundly
now I feel so light
my sense of movement's slowed
and somehow my tongue's tied
my thoughts are shattered
and they're making stars in the sky
and i've never felt so speechless
in my life
well do you have some of those days
when you just need, you just need to be
when you just need to shut your mouth
close your eyes breathe in and out and
drift away
sleep so soundly
and dream
just dream profoundly
sleep"
