Verse 1 My mind controlled by chaos time won't give it a rest I've got a lot more living to do I'm never giving up I'm fighting for what is true, is true Verse 2 Erase my guilty conscience faced with humility ill reveal my strength in time I've conquered all my evil, I'll start to take the climb, the climb Chorus Im scratching the surface Im scratching the surface Im clawing my way out Im scratching the surface Verse 3 This dirt covers up desires flirt with probability I'll avoid to fade to fall and decay Im never giving up so get out of my way, my way Chorus Im scratching the surface Im scratching the surface Im clawing my way out Im scratching the surface Bridge Breathe we're approaching the surface Breathe we're approaching the surface Chorus Im scratching the surface Im scratching the surface Im clawing my way out Im clawing my way out Ive clawed all the way out

Verse 1 You threw the knife thats aiming for my back Your silhouette is hiding in the black You tried to bring me down I won't let you get away Your promises are starting to decay, are starting to decay Chorus And I can't back down you tried to put me six feet under And I want to fly watch me take this dive Im Alive Verse 2 There's nothing wrong with leaving things behind When all the good is harder to define Time will only tell I will overtake the throne If I have to I'll do it on my own, do it on my own Chorus And I can't back down you tried to put me six feet under And I want to fly watch me take this dive I'm Alive Bridge Im taking the jump as I shut my eyes My feet hang off the edge This road I'm on will ease my pain I guess I'll be moving on Chorus And I can't back down you tried to put me six feet under And I want to fly watch me take this dive I'm Alive (I'm alive I'm alive) I'm alive (I'm alive I'm alive) I'm alive

Verse 1 These liars deceivers, you tales are tempting The trials, denials, am I too trusting The troubles, the struggle, has brought me nothing deception, perception, now that I can see I won't take this oh so lightly You can't fake the truth in all your lies Chorus Im not so blind so say your goodbyes I am catching on I will take you down, hiding all around there is nothing else to say Im not so blind to everything Verse 2 The silence a cadence, for lies you've told me enabled the fables despite the warning pretending descending down into nothing Im staying still waiting feels like I'm fading I won't take these words so blindly, I can see the truth behind your lies Chorus Im not so blind so say your goodbyes I am catching on I will take you down, hiding all around there is nothing else to say Im not so blind to everything Bridge I cry for answers and Im getting nothing please tell me the truth, please tell me the truth So while you were hiding karma's smiling Im coming for you Im coming for you Chorus Im not so blind so say your goodbyes I am catching on I will take you down, hiding all around there is nothing else to say Im not so blind to everything to everything to everything to everything

Verse 1 Im sick of all the suffering and all the pain I endure time stand still as waves crash to shore everyone is giving up Im haunted by the lies I've told I can't release this stranglehold silence echoes through these walls Chorus Time will tell and time will tell Im not giving up its never to late because Im living in Hell and time will tell Verse 2 I need to find a better way of dealing with the agony hold me close end this tragedy memories of brighter days are becoming more aware and happiness is something we can share whispers echo through these walls Chorus Time will tell and time will tell Im not giving up its never to late because Im living in Hell and time will tell Bridge Looking back I hate it got to this Im picking up the pieces to my wicked days of grey throw away all your doubts you had in me I've got a long way to go but ill be on my way Chorus Time will tell and time will tell Im not giving up its never to late because Im living in Hell and time will tell

Verse 1 It took me a little while to finally realize that your in this for yourself you thought that I could be the answer and the key to turn a life thats incomplete Take a breath cause I can't follow you're just repeating in different ways You took all the credit made it poetic now theres nothing left to say Chorus You had me blown away, by all the lies you say your talking in circles after all I can not believe you think I'm so naive your talking in circles but I won't fall Verse 2 These promises you made never came to play so you said it was my fault Throw some words around try to bring me down thinking i will not catch on Take a step back and realize that I can do this on my own You took me for granted soon you'll regret it moving on is set in stone Chorus You had me blown away, by all the lies you say your talking in circles after all I can not believe you think I'm so naive your talking in circles but I won't fall Bridge I won't fall I won't fall Chorus You had me blown away, by all the lies you say your talking in circles after all I can not believe you think I'm so naive your talking in circles but I won't fall I won't fall
