  • Hide, before the floodgates open
    Can we just lie here 'til it's all over?
    I hear the violence coming, turn and run inside
    You build your walls, but can't forget the hate you hide
    Damned to finally meet you in

    The afterlife
    Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
    You wonder why I'm all out of tears to cry
    Today I'm not, not afraid to die

    Breathe, I think you're finally broken
    If we don't die here, we'll always be haunted
    I feel the panic and everyone watching lie to me
    We've all been used and sold out truth for sick fantasy
    I'm holding on to one belief
    I'll see you in

    The afterlife
    Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
    You wonder why I'm all out of tears to cry
    Today I'm not afraid to die

    No one hears me pray for my revenge
    Nothing's gonna wash away these sins
    I'll bathe in the fire, no more wounds to mend
    We all die in the end, but I know who I am
    So judge me in

    The afterlife
    Save me from this pain and fill the hole inside
    You wonder why I'm all out of tears to cry
    Today I'm not, not afraid to die

    I'm all out of tears to cry
    Today I am not afraid to die Writer/s: Alexander Seaver, Amy Lee
