Here I stand and face the merciless rain,
What a time to be utterly alone.
This void and empty place as darkness overcomes.
I know that I'm awake
Yet I'm trapped in this body of stone.
Banging on closed doors, nobody's home.
I've been awhile, been awhile here,
Going nowhere fast, been stuck in here.

Lightning storms on the horizon,
Deafening thunderstorms;
The rhythm of the falling rain
Makes you feel so lost.
I've been awhile, been stuck in here,
Paid the price and now my name is smeared.

So I wait, I'll wait
Until the hours turn the day,
Never here, always somewhere.

Called myself a man, what an utter fool,
All I've ever had was a painful illusion.
Should have seen the warning signs,
The misleading look on their faces,
A twisted, broken smile as they drive the knife deeper.
I've been awhile, I've been stuck in here,
A place where shadows live and monsters rule.
I've been awhile, I've been killing time in here,
In a place where monsters live and I'm not real.

Now I wait, always waiting
For the hours to turn the day,
Never here, never elsewhere.

Lost in silence, nothing is clear,
Emptiness fuels you with fear,
Nowhere else to run and hide,
The rain is falling ever so hard.
Lost in violence, nothing in peace,
Emptiness fuels you with rage,
No one is real, they're all fake,
The pain is getting out of hand.
Lost inside their lives, no one's real,
Emptiness has killed your dreams,
Can't keep on living like this,
Giving up and giving in.

And so I wait, why I keep waiting?
Every day is just the same,
Always here, never somewhere.
I won't wait, I don't care,
That glimpse of light has finally faded away,
Always here
Inside this empty shell.
(It's all there was
And all I'll ever be)
