This means the end
Close the curtains, turn off the lights
Since the ups and downs, the wrongs and rights
The laughs and tears, the hopes and fears
My whole life has forever left the stage

And forget all about me
For I'm no longer who I used to be

I'm an hollow shell, a mere reflection of my former self

Don't turn back and lock me in

Because I'd rather stay within these empty walls
Than walk these crowded streets alone
Roads all paved with good intentions
A hunting-ground for helping hands

My soul will never be for sale

Let the walls start closing in

Let me feel their paper skin
This place is nothing and everything
Just let me drown in its

Soothingly cold embrace
And be no one once again

Yeah

Close my eyes, hold my breath
This feeling's all that's left

Allow me to die with it

Hold it tight against me
I will never see, I will never see
The stars again, I will always be
Waiting in vain, in vain

Every story must come to an end

And when the needles stopped moving
With their final breath still pounding in my head
Then I saw, As reality withered away
The cracks I foolishly ever disregarded

And I stared and I stared, stared deeply into the eyes of the world
In search for an answer, In search for a reason
In search for someone or something that just could help me understand
With this voice in my head just screaming and shouting and yelling "this can't be the end"
"This is not how it ends, this can't be how it ends, please don't let go, please don't let go of my hand"

But it went silent
Everything went silent and terribly cold
And I saw a black ocean get poured between us
I was frozen in place feeling your grip slowly fade away
Tell me what could have I done
Tell me what can I do
I'm loosing my grip too
Just tell me where you go and I swear
I will come and get you out of there

I've been talking to myself
Since all the lights went off
I've been talking to death itself
And I've begged on my knees, I've buried all of my pride, I've buried what was left of my faith
Now I quietly sit in darkness watching my stillborn life unravel before me
You're no longer in it, you're no longer in it and all I want to do is rip off my chest
Nothing remains
But silence

You're not here with me
How can I move forward, how can I face the world if I can't even face myself
(You're not here with me)
The walls are closing in, and I'm glad oh so glad, I will smile at last when I will greet Death
(You're not here with me)
Is this what you wanted? Is this what you had planned all along for us both?
(You're not here with me)
Then I gladly accept my fate and close my eyes one last time

Please let it be the end
Let me go in silence
Please let it be the end
Let me go in silence
