Breaking Benjamin Album

I'm cold and broken

It's over
I didn't want to see it come to this
I wonder
If I will ever see your face again
And I know
That I will find a way to shed the skin
It's simple
I know that I will suffer in the end

Fast I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow, I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
All alone

It's hopeless
The end will come and wash it all away
Forsaken
I live for those I lost along the way
And I can't
Remember how it all began to break
We suffer
I live to fight and die another day

Fast, I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow, I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
All alone

(Guitar Solo)

Fast, I fade away
It's almost over
Hold on
Slow, I suffocate
I'm cold and broken
All alone

I'm cold and broken

Fall!

Now the dark begins to rise,
Save your breath, it's far from over;
Leave the lost and dead behind,
Now's your chance to run for cover;

I don't wanna change the world,
I just wanna leave it colder;
Light the fuse and burn it up,
Take the path that leads to nowhere;

All is lost again,
But I'm not giving in...

I will not bow!
I will not break!
I will shut the world away;
I will not fall!
I will not fade!
I will take your breath away...

Fall!

Watch the end through dying eyes,
Now the dark is taking over;
Show me where forever dies,
Take the fall and run to Heaven;

All is lost again,
But I'm not giving in...

I will not bow!
I will not break!
I will shut the world away;
I will not fall!
I will not fade!
I will take your breath away...

And I'll survive,
Paranoid,
I have lost the will to change;
And I am not proud,
Cold-blooded fake;
I will shut the world away...

(Guitar Solo)

I will not bow!
I will not break!
I will shut the world away;
I will not fall!
I will not fade!
I will take your breath away...

And I'll survive,
Paranoid,
I have lost the will to change;
And I am not proud,
Cold-blooded fake;
I will shut the world away...

Fall!!

A shadow of a man,
I am nothing less;
I am holding on,
Still holding on;
And every now and then,
Life begins again;
I am holding on,
Still holding on...

I'm not like you,
Your faceless lies;
Your weak, dead heart,
Your black, dead eyes;
I'll make it through,
But not this time;
Your hope is gone,
And so is mine...

Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind;
And I won't live,
Your weak, wicked lie;
You pull me in,
I'm one step behind...

Show me where it hurts,
And I will make it worse;
Are you holding on?
Keep holding on;
Dilated eyes,
Shine for one last time...
Are you holding on?
Keep holding on...

You're not like me,
Your faceless lies;
Your weak, dead heart,
Your black, dead eyes;
I'll break you in,
And let this die;
Your hope is gone,
And so is mine...

Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind;
And I won't live,
Your weak, wicked lie;
You pull me in,
I'm one step behind...

I'm becoming a monster,
Just like you;
After it all,
You'll try to break me too;
Falling forever,
Chasing dreams;
I brought you to life,
So I can hear you scream...

Live! Fight!
Crawl back inside!
Sick! Blind!
Love left behind;
And I won't live,
Your weak, wicked lie;
You pull me in,
I'm one step behind...

I'm one step behind!
I'm one step behind!

Dead star shine
Light up the sky
I'm all out of breath
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned

I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever, and ever
The scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here, forever in the dark

Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care
Is anybody there
Take this life
Empty inside
I'm already dead
I'll rise to fall again

I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever, and ever
The scars will remain
I'm falling apart
Leave me here, forever in the dark

God, help me, I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun
God, help me, I've come undone
Out of the light of the sun

I can feel you falling away
No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
I'll keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever, and ever
The scars will remain

Give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
there's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
There's something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood

Forever, and ever
The scars will remain

Here I lie forever,
Sorrow still remains;
Will the water pull me down and wash it all away?
Come and take me over,
Welcome to the game;
Will the current drag me down and carry me away?
Suddenly the light begins to fade...

Hopeless!
I'm falling down;
Filthy!
I can't wake up;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go;
Worthless!
It's over now;
Guilty!
There's no way out;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go...

Silent, I go under,
I am not afraid;
I can see the daylight shine,
And slowly drift away;
Safe to say it's over,
Sink into the grave;
There is nothing left inside,
But I am wide awake;
I can hear the devil call my name...

Hopeless!
I'm falling down;
Filthy!
I can't wake up;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go;
Worthless!
It's over now;
Guilty!
There's no way out;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go...

(Guitar Solo)

Hopeless!
I'm falling down;
Filthy!
I can't wake up;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go;
Worthless!
It's over now;
Guilty!
There's no way out;
I cannot hold on,
I will not let go...

Hopeless!
Hopeless!!!

Take a breath,
Hold it in;
Start a fight,
You won't win;
Had enough,
Let's begin;
Never mind,
I don't care...

All in all,
You're no good;
You don't cry,
Like you should;
Let it go,
If you could;
When love dies in the end...

So I'll find what lies beneath,
Your sick, twisted smile;
As I lie underneath,
Your cold, jaded eyes;
Now you turn the tide on me,
'Cause you're so unkind;
I will always be here,
For the rest of my life...

Here we go,
Does it hurt?
Say goodbye,
To this world;
I will not,
Be undone;
Come to life,
It gets worse...

All in all,
You're no good;
You don't cry,
Like you should;
I'll be gone,
When you fall;
Your sad life,
Says it all...

So I'll find what lies beneath,
Your sick, twisted smile;
As I lie underneath,
Your cold, jaded eyes;
Now you turn the tide on me,
'Cause you're so unkind;
I will always be here,
For the rest of my life...

Don't!!
Carry me under,
You're the devil in disguise;
God!!
Sing for the hopeless,
I'm the one you left behind...

So I'll find what lies beneath,
Your sick, twisted smile;
As I lie underneath,
Your cold, jaded eyes;
Now you turn the tide on me,
'Cause you're so unkind;
I will always be here,
For the rest of, my life!!!

White walls surround us,
No light will touch your face again;
Rain taps the window,
As we sleep among the dead...

Days go on forever,
But I have not left your side;
We can chase the dark together,
If you go, then so will I...

There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes;
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

Cold light above us,
Hope fills the heart,
And fades away;
Skin white as winter,
As the sky returns to gray...

Days go on forever,
But I have not left your side;
We can chase the dark together,
If you go, then so will I...

There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes;
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life;
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

You're dead alive...
You're dead alive...
You're dead alive...
You're dead alive...

There is nothing left of you,
I can see it in your eyes;
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

I keep holding onto you,
But I can't bring you back to life;
Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

Sing the anthem of the angels,
And say the last goodbye...

Sing the anthem of the angels...

I am done pretending,
You have failed to find what's left;
I will suck you dry again...
Same are not worth saving,
You are such a pretty mess;
I will choke the life within...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I am suffocating,
You have failed to pull me in;
I will drag you down again...
Life is unrelenting,
Feeding lies into my head;
I will feed the lies you live...

Now you want to take me down,
As if I even care;
I am the monster in your head...
And I thought you'd learn by now,
It seems you haven't yet;
I am the venom in your skin...
And now your life is broken!!

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

(Guitar Solo)

After the lights go out on you,
After your worthless life is through,
I will remember how you scream;
I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care...

I can't afford to care...
I can't afford to care!!!

I have nothing left to give,
I have found the perfect end;
You remain to make it hurt,
Disappear into the dirt;
Carry me to heaven's arms,
Light the way and let me go;
Take the time to take my breath,
I will end where I began...

And I will find the enemy within;
'Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin...

Dear Agony,
Just let go of me;
Suffer slowly,
Is this the way it's got to be?
Dear Agony...

Suddenly,
The lights go out;
Let forever,
Drag me down;
I will fight for one last breath,
I will fight until the end...

And I will find the enemy within;
'Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin...

Dear Agony,
Just let go of me;
Suffer slowly,
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me,
Faceless enemy;
I'm so sorry,
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony...

Leave me alone,
God, let me go;
I'm blue and cold,
Black sky will burn;
Love, pull me down,
Hate, lift me up;
Just turn around,
There's nothing left...

Somewhere far beyond this world,
I feel nothing anymore...

Dear Agony,
Just let go of me;
Suffer slowly,
Is this the way it's got to be?
Don't bury me,
Faceless enemy;
I'm so sorry,
Is this the way it's gotta be?
Dear Agony...

I feel nothing anymore...

Screaming on the inside,
I am frail and withered;
Cover up the wounds,
That I can't hide;
Walls that lie between us,
The saint is still the sinner;
I have lost the nerve,
But it's all right...

Carry the wounded,
And shut your eyes;
All will be forgiven,
None will rise;
Bury the fallen,
And lead the blind;
I will find the lost,
Dead inside...

Into the nothing,
Faded and weary,
I won't leave and let you fall behind;
Live for the dying,
Heaven, hear me,
I know we can make it out alive...

Leave me at the bottom,
I am lost forever;
Letters from the dead,
Say goodbye;
Sorrow falls upon us,
This will be the last time;
Days begin to end,
But I'll get by...

Follow the hopeless,
And shut your eyes;
All will be abandoned,
None will shine;
Gather the broken,
And leave this life;
Lying in the earth,
Side by side...

Into the nothing,
Faded and weary,
I won't leave and let you fall behind;
Live for the dying,
Heaven, hear me,
I know we can make it out alive...

I'll keep you inside,
Where I lead, you cannot follow;
Straight into the light,
As my breath grows still and shallow...

Into the nothing,
Faded and weary,
I won't leave and let you fall behind;
Live for the dying,
Heaven, hear me,
I know we can make it out alive...

Stay with me,
You're all I have left;
I know we can make it out alive...
Stay with me,
You're all I have left;
I know we can make it out alive...

Search for the answers I knew all along;
I lost myself,
We all fall down;
Never the wiser of what I've become;
Alone I stand,
A broken man...

All I have, is one last chance,
I won't turn my back on you;
Take my hand,
Drag me down,
If you fall, then I will too;
And I can't save what's left of you...

Sing something new,
I have nothing left;
I can't face the dark without you...
There's nothing left to lose,
The fight never ends;
I can't face the dark without you...

Swallow me under and pull me apart;
I understand,
There's nothing left;
Pain so familiar and close to the heart;
No more no less,
I won't forget;

Come back down,
Save yourself,
I can't find my way to you;
And I can't bear to face the truth...

Sing something new,
I have nothing left;
I can't face the dark without you...
There's nothing left to lose,
The fight never ends;
I can't face the dark without you...

I wanted to forgive;
I'm trying to forget;
Don't leave me here again;
I am with you, forever, the end...

Sing something new,
I have nothing left;
I can't face the dark without you...
There's nothing left to lose,
The fight never ends;
I can't face the dark without you...

Holding the hand that holds me down;
I forgive you, forget you, the end...

Holding the hand that holds me down;
I forgive you, forget you, the end...
