Turn off the lights, and hide for your life
Their coming tonight, and their bringing their strife
They came through this gateway, leading straight from hell
You cannot get away, after you slipped and you fell
It keeps repeating in your head, like a phone that won't quit ringing
They'll bother you 'til your dead, and they'll be quietly screaming
If you give into their lies, you're going to regret it
As the scorching earth unties, you're going to get hit
I keep trying to escape this silence, it keeps finding me again
So I got lost in this world, I'll never find my way back when
Times were way less dire, and I used to call you my friend
These random acts of violence, they keep finding me again
The raging fires below, cause you to slowly lose your grip
The sweat passes through, and causes you to slip
As you fall it seems endless, so you take your last breath
The flames steal your defenses, and nicely present your death
In the absence of light, I'll be the shiver down your spine
When you dream at night, I'll show you all the signs
In the midst of fright, close your eyes and you'll be fine
I promise you tonight, the stars will continue to shine
I keep trying to escape this silence, it keeps finding me again
So I got lost in this world, I'll never find my way back when
Times were way less dire, and I used to call you my friend
These random acts of violence, they keep finding me again
Trying so hard to resurface, I just keep sinking in
Misery turning into madness, I'm feeling it begin
So I escape to the black, where I no longer see then
The world disappears, my soul turns black again
The fires burning all around, flickering waves of ill
Fortunes have all drowned, while others just kill
Many lives are lost, with just one pill
This time we cannot last, we can no longer heal
I keep trying to escape this silence, it keeps finding me again
So I got lost in this world, I'll never find my way back when
Times were way less dire, and I used to call you my friend
These random acts of violence, they keep finding me again
