Breaking Benjamin

Until The End

"The Diary Of Jane"

If I had to
I would put myself right beside you
So let me ask
Would you like that?
Would you like that?

And I dont mind
If you say this love is the last time
So now Ill ask
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

No!

Somethings getting in the way.
Somethings just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Try to find out what makes you tick.
As I lie down
Sore and sick.
Do you like that?
Do you like that?

Theres a fine line between love and hate.
And I dont mind.
Just let me say that
I like that
I like that

Somethings getting in the way.
Somethings just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
So tell me how it should be.

Desperate, I will crawl
Waiting for so long
No love, there is no love.
Die for anyone
What have I become?

Somethings getting in the way.
Somethings just about to break.
I will try to find my place in the diary of Jane.
As I burn another page,
As I look the other way.
I still try to find my place in the diary of Jane.



"Breath"

I see nothing in your eyes, and the more I see the less I like.

Is it over yet, in my head?

I know nothing of your kind, and I wont reveal your evil mind.

Is it over yet? I cant win.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have whats left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
Im going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
cause I will be the death of you.

This will be all over soon.
Pour salt into the open wound.

Is it over yet? Let me in.

So sacrifice yourself, and let me have whats left.
I know that I can find the fire in your eyes.
Im going all the way, get away, please.

[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
cause I will be the death of you.

[Bridge]
Im waiting, Im praying, realize, start hating.

[Chorus:]
You take the breath right out of me.
You left a hole where my heart should be.
You got to fight just to make it through,
cause I will be the death of you.







"You"

My hands are broken,
And time is going on and on, it goes forever (how long).
So I got high and lived all that life that Ive taken all for granted.

[Chorus:]
Promise me youll try
To leave it all behind,
cause Ive elected hell,
Lying to myself.
Why have I gone blind?
Live another life.

You. You.

The only way out
Is letting your guard down and never die forgotten (I know).
Forgive me, my love,
I stand here all alone, and I can see the bottom.

[Chorus]

You. You.
You. You.
You. You.


"Evil Angel"

Hold it together, birds of a feather,
Nothing but lies and crooked wings.
I have the answer, spreading the cancer,
You are the faith inside me.

No, dont
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, dont remember, remember.

[Chorus:]
Put me to sleep evil angel.
Open your wings evil angel.

A-ah.

Im a believer,
Nothing could be worse,
All these imaginary friends.
Hiding betrayal,
Driving the nail,
Hoping to find a savior.

No, dont
Leave me to die here,
Help me survive here.
Alone, dont
Surrender, surrender.

[Chorus]

Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why cant I breathe evil angel?

[Chorus]

Oh.
Fly over me evil angel.
Why cant I breathe evil angel?



"Until The End"

So clever,
Whatever,
Im done with these endeavors.
Alone I walk the winding way.
(Here I stay)
Its over,
No longer,
I feel it growing stronger.
Ill live to die another day,
Until I fade away.

[Chorus:]
Why give up, why give in?
Its not enough, it never is.
So I will go on until the end.
Weve become desolate.
Its not enough, it never is.
But I will go on until the end.

Surround me,
Its easy
To fall apart completely.
I feel you creeping up again.
(In my head)
Its over,
No longer,
I feel it growing colder.
I knew this day would come to end,
So let this life begin.

[Chorus]

Ive lost my way.
Ive lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

Living is hard enough
Without you fucking up.

[Chorus]

Ive lost my way.
Ive lost my way, but I will go on until the end.

U-uh, u-uh

The final fight Ill win,
The final fight Ill win,
The final fight Ill win,
But I will go on until the end.




"Dance With The Devil"

Here I stand, helpless and left for dead.

Close your eyes, so many days go by.
Easy to find whats wrong, harder to find whats right.

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.

I wont stay long, in this world so wrong.

[Chorus:]
Say goodbye, as we dance with the devil tonight.
Dont you dare look at him in the eye, as we dance with the devil tonight?

Trembling, crawling across my skin.
Feeling your cold dead eyes, stealing the life of mine.

I believe in you, I can show you that I can see right through all your empty lies.

I wont last long, in this world so wrong.

[Chorus]

Hold on. Hold on.

[Chorus]

Hold on. Hold on.

Goodbye.



"Topless"

Fruit on the vine.
Youve got yours,
And Ive got mine.
Meat on your bones.
They wont know, they wont know.

[Chorus:]
I loathe your face, just get away.
Im on my knees, fuck you, fuck me.

Im on my way to feel you dislocate.
Safe in your space.
Im open, wide open.

[Chorus]

Like me, like me, like me.

[Chorus]

Me, me, me.



"Here We Are"

Sing it for me,
I cant erase the stupid things I say.
Youre better than me,
I struggle just to find a better way.

[Chorus:]
So here we are, fighting and trying to hide the scars.
Ill be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye.
The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone.
Ill be home tonight, take a breath and softly say goodbye.

You wouldnt like me.
Keep moving on until forever ends.
Dont try to fight me.
The beauty queen has lost her crown again.

[Chorus]

...goodbye.

So why are you so eager to betray?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up.
So why are you the one that walks away?
Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up.

O-oh.

[Chorus]

Just take a breath and softly say goodbye.



"Unknown Soldier"

Border line,
Dead inside.
I dont mind,
Falling to pieces.
Count me in, violent
Lets begin, feeding the sickness.
How do I simplify,
Dislocate - the enemys on the way.

[Chorus:]
Show me what its like
To dream in black and white,
So I can leave this world tonight.

Full of fear,
Ever clear.
Ill be here,
Fighting forever.
Curious,
Venomous,
Youll find me
Climbing to heaven.
Never mind,
Turn back time.
Youll be fine - I will get left behind.

[Chorus]

Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.

It only hurts just once.
Theyre only broken bones.
Hide the hate inside.

Oh.

[Very quiet voice:]
So I can leave this world behind

[Chorus]

Holding on too tight.
Breathe the breath of life,
So I can leave this world behind.





"Had Enough"

Milk it for all its worth.
Make sure you get there first.
The apple of your eye.
The rotten core inside.
We are all prisoners.
Things couldnt get much worse.
Ive had it up to here, you know your end is near.

[Chorus:]
You had to have it all,
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard,
You will get what you deserve.
When all is said and done,
I will be the one to leave you in the misery and hate what youve become.

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life.
You should have learned by now, Ill burn this whole world down.
I need some peace of mind, no fear of whats behind.
You think youve won this fight, youve only lost your mind.

[Chorus:]
You had to have it all,
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard,
You will get what you deserve.
When all is said and done,
I will be the one to leave you in the misery and hate what youve become.

Hold me down (I will live again)
Pull me out (I will break it in)
Hold me down (better in the end)
Hold me down.

[Chorus]
You had to have it all,
Well have you had enough?
You greedy little bastard,
You will get what you deserve.
When all is said and done,
I will be the one to leave you in the misery and hate what youve become.

Heaven help you.





"You Fight Me"

You fight me, flat on my lonely face I fell.
Finding in the end I live well.
In light of the life that I have found,
Its coming down.

I dont know what isnt real,
But its easy
To beat me.
(Suck it in)
Life is sink or swim.
Love is blinding, no surviving.

I dont know what I want to be yet.
But I can show that I need to see this.
No time for lies and empty fights.
Im on your side.

Can we live a life of peace and happiness?
I dont think so.

No denying I am scared to lose the things I love.
Im in control.

[Chorus:]
This is how, this is how its going to end.
This is how, this is how its going to end.
End

Everyone is waiting here for everyone.
Leave me alone.

[Chorus:]
This is how, this is how its going to end.
This is how, this is how its going to end.
This is how, this is how its going to end.
(No)
This is how, this is how its going to end.


"Fade Away"

Im cold and broken
Its over I didnt want to see it come to this
I wonder if I will ever see your face again
And I know that I will find a way to shed my skin
Its simple I know that I will suffer in the end

Fast I fade away
Its almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
Im cold and broken
Alone

Its hopeless, the end will come and wash it all away
Forsaken, I live for those I lost along the way
And I cant remember how it all began to break
You suffer, I live to fight and die another day

Fast I fade away
Its almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
Im cold and broken
Alone

Fast I fade away
Its almost over
Hold on
Slow I suffocate
Im cold and broken
Alone

Im cold and broken





"I Will Not Bow"

Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath, its far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Nows your chance to run for cover

I dont wanna change the world
I just wanna leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again
But Im not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end through dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to Heaven

All is lost again
But Im not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And Ill survive, paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And Im not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

Open your eyes!

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And Ill survive; paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And Im not proud, cold-blooded fake
I will shut the world away

Fall!





"Crawl"

The shadow of a man
Im nothing less
I am holding on, still holding on
And every now and then life begins again
I am holding on, still holding on
Im not like you

Your faceless lies
Your weak dead heart
Your black dead eyes

Ill make it through, but not this time
Your hope is gone, and so is mine

[Chorus:]
Live, fight
Crawl back inside
Sick, blind
Love left behind
And I wont live, your weak wicked lie
You pull me in, Im one step behind

Show me where it hurts
And Ill make it worse
Are you holding on? Keep holding on
Dilated eyes shine for one last time
Are you holding on? Keep holding on
Youre not like me

Your faceless lies
Your weak dead heart
Your black dead eyes

Ill break you in, and let this die
Your hope is gone
And so is mine

[Chorus]

Im becoming a monster, just like you
After it all youll try to break me too
Falling forever, chasing dreams
I brought you to life so I can hear you scream

[Chorus]

Im one step behind
Im one step behind





"Give Me A Sign"

Dead star shine
Light up the sky
Im all out of breath
My walls are closing in
Days go by
Give me a sign
Come back to the end
The shepherd of the damned

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
Ill keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain
Im falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark

Daylight dies
Blackout the sky
Does anyone care?
Is anybody there?
Take this life
Empty inside
Im already dead
Ill rise to fall again

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
Ill keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain
Im falling apart
Leave me here forever in the dark

God help me Ive come undone
Out of the light of the sun
God help me Ive come undone
Out of the light of the sun

I can feel you falling away

No longer the lost
No longer the same
And I can see you starting to break
Ill keep you alive
If you show me the way
Forever - and ever
the scars will remain

Give me a sign
Theres something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
theres something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood
Just give me a sign
Theres something buried in the words
Give me a sign
Your tears are adding to the flood

Forever - and ever
The scars will remain






"Hopeless"

Here I lie forever
Sorrow still remains
Will the water pull me down and wash it all away
Come and take me over
Welcome to the game
Will the current drag me down and carry me away
Suddenly the light begins to fade

HOPELESS
Im falling down
FILTHY
I cant wake up
I can not hold on
I will not let go
WORTHLESS
Its over now
GUILTY
Theres no way out
I can not hold on
I will not let go

Silent I go under
I am not afraid
I can see the daylight shine
And slowly drift away
Safe to say its over
Sink into the grave
There is nothing left inside
But I am wide awake
I can hear the devil call my name

HOPELESS
Im falling down
FILTHY
I cant wake up
I can not hold on
I will not let go
WORTHLESS
Its over now
GUILTY
Theres no way out
I can not hold on
I will not let go



"What Lies Beneath"

Take a breath
Hold it in
Start a fight
You wont win
Had enough
Lets begin
Nevermind
I dont care

All in all
Youre no good
You dont cry
Like you should
Let it go
If you could
When love dies in the end

So Ill find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
Cause youre so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life

Here we go
Does it hurt
Say goodbye
to this world
I will not
Be undone
Come to life
It gets worse

All in all
Youre no good
You dont cry
Like you should
Ill be gone
when you fall
Your sad life
Says it all

So Ill find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
Cause youre so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life

Dont carry me under
Youre the devil in disguise
God sing for the hopeless
Im the one you left behind

So Ill find what lies beneath
Your sick twisted smile
As I lie underneath
Your cold jaded eyes
Now you turn the tide on me
Cause youre so unkind
I will always be here
For the rest of my life



"Anthem Of The Angels"

White walls surround us
No light will touch your face again
Rain taps the window
As we sleep among the dead

Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye

Cold light above us
Hope fills the heart
And fades away
Skin white as winter
As the sky returns to grey

Days go on forever
But I have not left your side
We can chase the dark together
If you go then so will I

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But I cant bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
Then say the last goodbye

Yourre dead alive [x4]

There is nothing left of you
I can see it in your eyes
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye
I keep holding onto you
But I cant bring you back to life
Sing the anthem of the angels
And say the last goodbye




"Lights Out"

I am done pretending
You have failed to find whats left
I will suck you dry again
Some are not worth saving
You are such a pretty mess
I will choke the life within

Now you want to take me down
As if I even care
I am the monster in your head
And I thought youd learn by now
It seems you havent yet
I am the venom in your skin
And now your life
Is broken

After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I cant afford to care
I cant afford to care

I am suffocating
You have failed to pull me in
I will drag you down again
Life is unrelenting
Feeding lies into my head
I will feed the lies you live

Now you want to take me down
As if I even care
I am the monster in your head
And I thought youd learn by now
It seems you havent yet
I am the venom in your skin
And now your life
Is broken

After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I cant afford to care
I cant afford to care

I cant afford to care
After the lights go out on you
After your worthless life is through
I will remember how you scream
I cant afford to care
I cant afford to care

I cant afford to care



"Dear Agony"

I have nothing left to give
I have found the perfect end
You were made to make it hurt
Disappear into the dirt
Carry me to heavens arms
Light the way and let me go
Take the time to take my breath
I will end where I began

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way its got to be?
Dear Agony

Suddenly
The lights go out
Let forever
Drag me down
I will fight for one last breath
I will fight until the end

And I will find the enemy within
Because I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way its got to be?
Dont bury me
Faceless enemy
Im so sorry
Is this the way its gotta be?
Dear Agony

Leave me alone
God let me go
Im blue and cold
Black sky will burn
Love pull me down
Hate lift me up
Just turn around
Theres nothing left

Somewhere far beyond this world
I feel nothing anymore

Dear Agony
Just let go of me
Suffer slowly
Is this the way its got to be?
Dont bury me
Faceless enemy
Im so sorry
Is this the way its gotta be?
Dear Agony

I feel nothing anymore




"Into The Nothing"

Screaming on the inside
I am frail and withered
Cover up the wounds
That I cant hide
Walls that lie between us
The saint within the sinner
I have lost the nerve
But its all right
Carry the wounded and shut your eyes
All will be forgiven
None will rise
Bury the fallen and lead the blind
I will fight the loss
Dead inside

Into the nothing
Faded and weary
I wont leave and let you fall behind
Live for the dying
Heaven hear me
I know we can make it out alive

Leave me at the bottom
I am lost forever
Letters from the dead
Say goodbye
Sorrow falls upon us
This will be the last time
Days begin to end
But Ill get by
Follow the hopeless
And shut your eyes

All will be abandoned
None will shine
Gather the broken and leave this life
Lying in the earth
Side by side

Into the nothing
Faded and weary
I wont leave and let him fall behind
Live for the dying
Heaven hear me
I know we can make it out alive

Ill keep you inside
Where I lead you cannot follow
Straight into the light
As my breath grows still and shallow

Into the nothing
Faded and weary
I wont leave and let them fall behind
Live for the dying
Heaven hear me
I know we can make it out alive

Stay with me
Youre all I have left
I know we can make it out alive
Stay with me
Youre all I have left
I know we can make it out alive



"Without You"

Search for the answers I knew all along
I lost myself, we all fall down
Never the wiser of what Ive become
Alone I stand a broken man

All I have is one last chance
I wont turn my back on you
Take my hand, drag me down
If you fall then I will too
And I cant save whats left of you

[Chorus:]
Sing something new
I have nothing left
I cant face the dark without you
Theres nothing left to lose
The fight never ends
I cant face the dark without you

Swallow me under and pull me apart
I understand theres nothing left
Pain so familiar and close to the heart
No more, no less, I wont forget

Come back down save yourself
I cant find my way to you
And I cant bear and face the truth

[Chorus]

I wanted to forgive
Im trying to forgive
Dont leave me here again
Im with you forever, the end

[Chorus]

Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive, forget you, the end
Holding the hand that holds me down
I forgive you, forget you, the end




"Blow Me Away"

[Verse 1:]
They fall in line
One at a time
Ready to play
(I cant see them anyway)
No time to lose
Weve got to move
Steady your helm
(I am losing sight again)

[Bridge:]
Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
Well shake it off
Show me the way

[Chorus:]
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
Ill be the one to save us all

[Verse 2:]
Theres nothing left
So save your breath
Lying in wait
(Caught inside this tidal wave)
Your covers blown
No where to go
Holding your fate
(Loaded I will walk alone)

[Bridge:]
Fire your guns
Its time to run
Blow me away
(I will stay, in the mess I made)
After the fall
Well shake it off
Show me the way

[Chorus:]
Only the strongest will survive
Lead me to heaven, when we die
I am the shadow on the wall
Ill be the one to save us all

Wanted it back
(Dont fight me now)

[Chorus]



"Rain"

Take a photograph,
Itll be the last,
Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here,

I dont have a past
I just have a chance,
Not a family or honest plea remains to say,

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Is it you I want or just the notion
Of a heart to wrap around so I can find my way around?

Safe to say from here,
Youre getting closer now,
We are never sad cause we are not allowed to be

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

To lie here under you,
Is all that I could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,
To lie here under you is all that i could ever do,
To lie here under you is all,

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun.

Rain, rain go away,
Come again another day,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun,
All the world is waiting for the sun.



"Breakdown"

Breakdown!

Let the fun and games begin
She is spayed and broken in
Skin is cold and white
Such a lovely lonely night

[Pre-chorus]
Heaven is on the way
You could feel the hate
but I guess you never will
Im on a roll again
and I want an end
cause I feel you creeping in

[Chorus:]
What I found in this town
Im heading for a breakdown
Whats that sound, youre so loud
Im heading for a breakdown

Drank up all my alcohol
This is not a free for all
Ill be there for you
Til my heart is black and blue

[Pre-chorus]

[Chorus x2]

You breakdown, youre so proud.
Im heading for a breakdown.
Whats that sound, its so loud.
Im heading for a breakdown.
No!



"Sooner Or Later"

I want a normal life
just like a new born child
I am a lover hater
I am an instigator
You are an oversight
Dont try to compromise
Ill learn to love to hate it
I am not integrated

[Pre-Chorus]
Just call my name
Youll be okay
Your scream is burning through my veins

Sooner or later youre gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw your life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw your life away

Youre like an infantile
I knew it all the while
You sit and try to play me
Just like you see on tv
I am an oversight
Just like a parasite
Why am I so pathetic
I know you wont forget it

[Pre-chorus]

Sooner or later youre gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw my life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or later youre gonna hate it
Go ahead and throw our life away
Driving me under, leaving me out there
Go ahead and throw our life away

Throw our life away
Ooooo
Throw our life away




"Forget It"

Its a crime you let it happen to me
Nevermind, Ill let it happen to you
Out of mind, forget it theres nothing to lose
But my mind and all the things I wanted

Everytime I get it I throw it away
Its a sign, I get it, I wanna stay
By the time I lose it Im not afraid
Im alive but I can Surely fake it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
Youre the part of me that I dont wanna see

Forget it

Theres a place I see you follow me
Just a taste of all that might come to be
Im alone but holding breath you can breathe
To question every answer counted

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way

Forget it

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way

Its a crime you let it happen to me
Out of mind, I love it, easy to please
Nevermind, forget it, just memories
On a page inside a spiral notebook

Just fade away
Please let me stay
Caught in your way
I can live forever here

Forget it

How can I believe when this cloud hangs over me
Youre a part of me that I dont wanna see

I can live forever here




"So Cold"

Crowded streets are cleared away
One by One
Hollow heroes separate
As they run

Youre so cold
Keep your hand in mine
Wise men wonder while strong men die

[Chorus:]
Show me how it ends its alright
Show me how defenseless you really are
satisfied and empty inside
Well, thats alright, lets give this another try

If you find your family, dont you cry
In this land of make-believe, dead and dry

Youre so cold, but you feel alive
Lay your hand on me one last time

[Chorus x2]

Its alright [x9]
