  • As it all falls down, do I walk away
    Or do I stand my ground and accept my fate?

    And there's the faceless cries, that twist my every dream
    And almost every night I hear the demon sing

    Why are we going on this way?
    Why do we play these games in vain?
    Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
    So why do go back that could leave this way?
    Black is the soul that's led astray
    You're leading me to places I can never follow

    Happiness is found in the darkest ways
    And as I searched around, I've made nothing but mistakes

    And there's the faceless cries, that twist my every dream
    And almost every night I hear the demon sing

    Why are we going on this way?
    Why do we play these games in vain?
    Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
    So why do go back that could leave this way?
    Black is the soul that's led astray
    You're leading me to places I can never follow

    And when you scream you push me so much further and
    And when I leave, I always would walk back again
    And when you cry the tears are cleansing bitterness
    I'm out of time, I'm slowly dying give me back my life

    Just give me back my life
    Just give me back my life
    Just give me back my life

    Why are we going on this way?
    Why do we play these games?
    Nothing's gonna break it down and build us back again
    So why did the path have to lead this way?
    Black is the soul that's led astray
    You're leading me to places I can never follow

    As it all falls down, do I walk away
    Or do I stand my ground, there's nothing left to say Writer/s: Brian Philip Welch, James Christian Shaffer, Jonathan Howsman Davis, Raymond Lee Luzier, Reginald Arvizu
