(Verse 1)

Give me a reason

That I should hold on

Give me something

To keep me alive

When the only thing

Sustaining me

Is the only thing

Giving me pain

 

(Chorus)

Tell me where were you

When I

Was drowning in the

Black Hole of my mind

When I tried to kill imaginary monsters

Covered in my own blood

 

(Verse 2)

Overcome by the 

Shadows of my dreams

The cloud of my own mind

Slowly killing me

They say what doesn't kill you

Makes you stronger

But then 

Where is my strength

Where is 

My will to live

 

(Chorus)

 

(Bridge)

Once upon a time

We were a fairy tale

Everything now torn apart

My mind a weapon

Agianst myself

Once upon a time happened

Where's happily ever after?

 

(Chorus x2)
