lyrics

Am I searching for light
Or is it the dark?
What I hold inside
Is what I search for

Is it my own design
Or could it be forged
From all that I've known
In this shallow life?

Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away

There is nowhere to hide
I can't run from myself
Each time that I try
I wish I'm someone else

This demon I've denied
But I've always felt
Can't help but divide
And lead to my demise

Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away

Build your defense
And I'll tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Help yourself, break away

I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to kill the spark
I don't want to break your heart
I don't want to claim the dark
I don't want to break your heart

Show compassion
Love out on display
You find out you're betrayed
Hear me say break away

Build your defense
And I'll tear it down
I'll burn it to the ground
Help yourself, break away

Good intentions
Seem like evil deeds
But in reality
Keep you safe, break away

(Break away, take away
Stay away, break away)

"Strangled by his past
He felt an emptiness growing inside
The void he once owned returned
A darkness that consumed his heart
A demon born of doubt and sorrow

Fearing the darkness within him
He knew he could no longer be with his love
For this torment would drag her down as well
Even knowing that she would be alone
That she would be left to struggle once again
His only choice was to break away

On that cold winter night
She lied crying on her bed
For he had severed the ties that bonded them
He left the room, closing the door behind him
Thinking that he would save her
Only to betray her trust
Only hurting her more

Parting ways
Their broken hearts were bound in chains
Under lock and key
And as time passed
Their wounds began to heal
Only to be reopened
When their paths would cross again"
