Lyrics

It's true, we're all a little insane
but its so clear
now that I'm unchained

fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me- don't deny
sweet sacrifice

One day I'm gonna forget your name
and one sweet day, you're gonna drown in my lost pain

fear is only in our minds
taking over all the time
fear is only in our minds but its taking over all the time

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
and oh you love to hate me don't you, honey?
I'm your sacrifice.

[I dream in darkness
I sleep to die
rase the silence
erase my life
our burning ashes
blacken the day
a world of nothingness
blow me away]

do you wonder why you hate?
are you still too weak to survive your mistakes?

you poor sweet innocent thing
dry your eyes and testify
you know you live to break me- don't deny
sweet sacrifice
