Tonight The World Dies
Lost the meaning of our stay
Learn to live another day
Doubt the choices that we've made,
I know that we can't hide our shame
It's only in disguise
Drowning in our own debris
Full of thoughts as though we're free
Close our eyes so we can see
The depth of all we mean to be
If only in my eyes
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again...in a way
So try and love me while you can
And take the time to understand
As long as I can touch your face
You know I'll never leave this place
If only in my mind
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again
But I seem to find no better ways to consciously pretend
Silence all I wanna say
A tendency to run away, I run away
With you tonight
Launder all my sins away
And just like that mistakes are made, you know
Tonight the world dies
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again
But I seem to find no better ways to consciously pretend
Learn to live another day
Doubt the choices that we've made,
I know that we can't hide our shame
It's only in disguise
Drowning in our own debris
Full of thoughts as though we're free
Close our eyes so we can see
The depth of all we mean to be
If only in my eyes
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again...in a way
So try and love me while you can
And take the time to understand
As long as I can touch your face
You know I'll never leave this place
If only in my mind
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again
But I seem to find no better ways to consciously pretend
Silence all I wanna say
A tendency to run away, I run away
With you tonight
Launder all my sins away
And just like that mistakes are made, you know
Tonight the world dies
I don't mind - read the writing on the wall
Mother cries - tortured voices as we crawl
Find me on my better days to lose it once again
But I seem to find no better ways to consciously pretend
Avenged Sevenfold - So Far Away
Never feared for anything
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart
With all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart
With all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we’re so invincible
But the truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away
Sleep tight, I'm not afraid
The ones that we love are here with me
Lay away a place for me
'Cause as soon as I'm done I'll be on my way
To live eternally
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
And the light you left remains but it's so hard to stay
When I have so much to say and you're so far away
I love you, you were ready, the pain is strong enough despite
But I see you when it lets me
Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
and I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
Never shamed but never free
A life that healed a broken heart
With all that it could
Lived a life so endlessly
Saw beyond what others see
I tried to heal your broken heart
With all that I could
Will you stay?
Will you stay away forever?
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned
Place and time always on my mind
I have so much to say but you’re so far away
Plans of what our futures hold
Foolish lies of growing old
It seems we’re so invincible
But the truth is so cold
A final song, a last request
A perfect chapter laid to rest
Now and then I try to find
A place in my mind
Where you can stay
You can stay awake forever
How do I live without the ones I love?
Time still turns the pages of the book it's burned

Your pain is gone, your hands untied
So far away
and I need you to know
So far away
And I need you to, need you to know
