There’s nothing left to say; it’s done
This world has finally had enough
Pack up all your things, let's go
We're running out of time; we're running for our lives
Don't you cry
I can't seem to find the words to tell you why
We'll be fine
I never thought I'd be afraid to die
I can't believe that everything and everyone is gone
Don't tell me it's hard to go on, ‘cause I know
They've made it clear we've got to move on, so let's go
Up there, amidst the stars, we'll be
So far away from this catastrophe
‘Cause I will find a way, we'll be
So far away from death and the disease
Don't look back, it's never going to change the past
Forget about the ones we loved and the ones we lost
Let's just forget about them all

Try not to think
Just wrap your arms around my neck
Don’t let me go
Dry your eyes and kiss me one last time
It’s not goodbye
I’ll always be inside of your heart, so we’ll say goodnight
Stay here with me
I can’t get through this alone
Don’t leave me now
I would give anything
I wish this world could give us one more day
I love you
Dry my eyes and kiss you one last time
This is goodbye
You’ll always be inside of my heart, so I’ll say goodnight

Cold: the way she feels inside
Underneath my skin, she hides
Oh, I'll lie with her tonight
Underneath a darkened sky
Dead; I've got to bury her
Underneath happier times
This feels all wrong; I won't move on
I cannot face this empty space
Time: I watch it slip away
They all tell me it’s okay
Oh, I think I'd rather stay
They all say it's not the way
Tear from hands that grip me tight
They don't want to let me go
There's something wrong: now that you're gone
Your pretty face has been erased
I can't see that smile or those gorgeous eyes
I just want to die
You were the one; it's all but done
I've gone back over and over, but you're still lost
I'm trying and trying to pull you close; it's killing me killing me
You're a ghost; nothing left to see
(Finally)

Waste my time; I don't mind leaving you behind
Cried all night, but I know I'll be alright
Cold but not alone: you're free
(Is this how it was supposed to be?)
You were meant to be here by my side; we tried
I know I said that this would take some time; I lied
You're off my mind
I've said goodbye
I'm still broken but I won't admit that I'm in love
You turned me soft, but now I'm lifting off
My heart is pounding as I race towards these distant skies
I've come to realize that I don't care if I live or die
There's not much left to go
There's nothing left, I know

Wake up; we’re lost
Sit still; sleep well
God, why this? I’ve suffered through enough shit
End me, I’m begging
Please kill me
Screaming and crying, I fight with this restlessness
Wheezing and coughing, there's not much hope left for us
Oh my god

Treading water; bloodless slaughter
It’s time
(You’re mine)
I feel this aching sorrow; prayed there’d be no tomorrow
There’s not much left inside me, will this way change what I see?
Step carefully; trust grudgingly
You can’t be here, you’ve got to go
My mind is gone, I’ve lost my hold
You should’ve stayed six feet below

I can feel this savage essence welling up inside me
It’s begging for release
I’ll make this right; you will die
Wrapping my hands round your neck
(Please, you’re killing me)
I’m only doing what’s best
(It’s hypocrisy)
I don’t care
(You can’t go back)
I’m already there
There’s nothing; there’s nothing left
It’s over; it’s over with
I won’t let this define me; I swear I’ll make it right
I’ll chain these thoughts that bind me; I’m coming home tonight
This life has kept me kneeling; now it’s my time to stand
I’m on my way
Farewell my world

Farewell My World

Contained within the confines of a madman’s mind
I’ve been awakened
Dead or living; I need to know the truth of this
Tell me, where am I now?
Home, but far beneath the trees
Away from our disease
We’re all perfectly safe
Let me elaborate
Mother was sick and crying; millions of children dying
This world was out of time
We had to realign
We scorched the earth
(We cleansed the surface)
The wealthiest of man secured survival plans
The rest of those who ran: dispatched to free up land
Murder these fucking monsters; destroy everything by hand
They don't deserve to prosper; raise hell and let them be damned
I've seen clearly; they'll pay dearly
Your time has come
You'll be undone
You cannot run
I've made haste; sealed your fate
Slow down and let me ease your wonder
Breathe out, I want to watch you crumble
You know it’s been a long time coming
Our hearts, our minds they will decay, but our souls remain
My life, my death won’t be in vain
Our hearts, our minds they’re all the same

Disease

Well do you think that I'm the cure?
A panacea for the weak, the broken, the lost
Or do you think I'm the disease?
An acid specter dealing death for low, low cost
Well this is it now: the end of your era, and I must admit that I feel no remorse
This rampant infection I've seeded among you devours your flesh
Watch as I swallow your bones
I smile as you cry in fear; I swear that I won't leave a trace
Humanity's already rotten, I'm the answer to all your disgrace
(You can't run; you can't hide)
Your mistake was in thinking you're special, but truth is you're overgrown rats
The hammer of justice has fallen; your populace has to face facts
You’ve all reached your collective twilight; in time I will leave you as ghosts
You strike at me bravely and blindly, but I promise you'll suffer the most
As your huddled masses struggle for their last gulps of air
As you clutch your loved ones in fear hoping you will last through the night
I want you to understand that there is no quarantine or barricade that can hold me
I will be the beast that kills you; I am the one to snuff you out
I am unforgiving; there's a madness to my methods -saints and sinners -I will finish them both
Tinker tailor; soldier sailor
I'll punish them all
Be wise and relinquish your hope
In truth, it almost hurts me to see you go
You put up a good fight, and I haven’t had this much fun in a while
It’s a shame that your potential was never actualized
You were a sad, pathetic people, but you were capable of such great things
As all good things come to an end, so must our time together
We all have our parts to play and yours, it seems, was to die
But I thank you, for in your death I find life
In your chaos I find serenity
In your condemnation I find salvation
I am saved
Am I the cure for your disease?
Your fucking parasitic life was fueled by greed
This world that gave you all you'd need; you watched her bleed
So tell me now, am I the cure or the disease?
There's nothing left to say
