[Verse 1: Phil Labonte]

I'll not want for longing, it causes heartache

Yet this singularity burns the same

[Chorus 1: Matt Bachand, Phil Labonte, Jon Donais]

Hope for ash of memory

(This is pure agony)

Eyes, they are too blind to see

(This is pure agony)

I'll not beg for you

(This is pure agony)

Knowing what's been true

(This is pure agony)


[Verse 1: Phil Labonte]

I'll not want for longing, it causes heartache

Yet this singularity burns the same

[Verse 2: Phil Labonte, Jon Donais]

Fall from your light world, not again, this breeds fear

My life weakens and the pain I hold tight

Life hurts so now, I have no power here

Cease living somehow, I long to release you

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte, Matt Bachand]

As I fall I, as I fall we cry in despair

Don't be lifeline, don't be my lifeline, let me fall away

Alone, desolate, alone and desolate am I the only one

Can it be real, can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no

[Verse 3: Phil Labonte, Jon Donais]

If you return here can I not ease this pain?

Forever knowing, loneliness, denial

I am the last one, now would you look away?

Leave me alone here, that would tear me apart

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte, Matt Bachand]

As I fall I, as I fall we cry in despair

Don't be lifeline, don't be my lifeline, let me fall away

Alone, desolate, alone and desolate am I the only one

Can it be real, can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no


[Breakdown: Jon Donais]

Now deliver my soul

[Bridge: Phil Labonte, Jon Donais]

Your love walks away, leaves me as a child

Exposed to the horror I begin to cry

Emotions like velvet now caress my flesh

The truth that I run from

Pure, would you run away and leave me here to suffer?

Pain, what did you want that I could not provide?

Pure, would you run away and leave me here to suffer?

Pain, what did you want that I could not provide?


[Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2: Phil Labonte, Jon Donais]

Fall from your light world, not again, this breeds fear

My life weakens and the pain I hold tight

Life hurts so now, I have no power here

Cease living somehow, I long to release you

[Chorus 2: Phil Labonte, Matt Bachand]

As I fall I, as I fall we cry in despair

Don't be lifeline, don't be my lifeline, let me fall away

Alone, desolate, alone and desolate am I the only one

Can it be real, can it be real, I can't go on, no, god no
