The road comes to an end
And we let go of pain
I look into the mirror
And see nothing
In pain, in anger and agony, the flame never dies
It carries through our suffering
And just like a phoenix will rise

A face that I once knew so well
Now is nothing but a distant memory
A bad dream that lasted for too long
And not a day goes by I don't think about death
I am scared of taking one more breath
What if it is my last
I'll vanish to the past
Will they write the story of my life
A hopeless tragedy, so sad and full of strife

Should I just keep pretending or tear it all down
And if I don't say a thing, will they still hear my cry
I never really even had a chance
I never really made it through
I hope they can't see
What's living inside me
I hope they can't hear
The secrets I hide within me

A face I once knew so well
Now is nothing but a distant memory
A bad dream that lasted too long
And not a day goes by I don't think about dying
