Fill my lungs with silence, fill my heart with coal
Take my dreams, take my youth, take my life, take my soul
Feel the pain burn deep, feel the cold inside my chest
Throw away all I've given, lay me down to rest
I wander through the forest, I sleep among the trees
I bend to your wisdom, I fall down on my knees
Throw me away when I stand pick me up when I fall
Watch me spill all my sadness, watch me burn, watch me crawl
And I feel my mind fadin away, I feel my hand start to shake
It tearing me apart, I'm waiting for the day,
when from this dream I know I will wake
What I have is not, at all what I want
You voice fills my head, my dreams you haunt
I put these chains on myself, oh lord what have I done
Free my hand reaching out, to the cold steel of this gun
