All alone in the silence of the morning wake to find there's nothing there that's worth living for that's worth dying for either way you don't care Loss of interest in the things that once drove you to a place where you could see there's things worth living for there's things worth dying for they're things that set you free You've fallen prey to the darkness all around you felt it wash away all that you are and in the fallout you sense a new beginning but you can't find the will and don't have the heart And you feel you're falling and you know you're drowning and your chance is fading and your strength is failing CHORUS: Sorrow, washed away in anger washed away in desperation all alone sadness, washed away in waking washed away in finding a way you can cope with the things you must face with the endless rat race with the trial of today with the things that they say you don't need them you can find a better way Sleep the day away it's the easy way too much pain today too much apathy When your feelings are desperate your thoughts become dangerous when your thoughts put you in duress what's left for you is to bear it Written on your face is nothing but a trace of where your pain is born of why your mind is torn Swaying on the edge of a knife to the brink of insanity to the ruin of reality your perception of your life has warped what's going on what's here you think is gone Is there belief, is there relief when the nightmare has begun will your mind reach for the gun or is there strength inside your soul to give you back control only you could know And you feel you're falling and you know you're drowning and your chance is fading and your faith is failing CHORUS
