[Verse 1]
She's sitting alone, there
Too much time for idle thought
Surrounded by china and steel,
All the happiness that could be bought
Through the emptiness of her life
The silence reverberates
Sitting as she did yesterday
Her veins swelling with liquid hate

So many lifetimes ago
Her sun did fade away
The vibrancy of her existence
Has withered and turned grey
This heaviness has filled her
Since she can't remember when
Too much time for sorrow
And her eyes linger on the knife, again

[Chorus]
Darkness envelops
Emptiness consumes
We let negativity infiltrate
And all our mistakes are exhumed

Hopes are strangled
Dreams simply die
Bitterness flows freely
From the tears that we cry

[Verse 2]
He's sitting alone, there
Not enough time to breathe
Artificial light washing over him
From his master, the machine
He feels his world crumbling
From sixty storeys up
And silently he reflects
On his half empty cup

So many lifetimes ago
His world did start to sway
The hopes and dreams he'd held up high
Just atrophied and fell away
This weight has been upon him
Since he chose this course
The pressure pushing him to the edge,
Now he's looking down sixty floors

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I'm standing alone, here
Though surrounded by faces
All smiling, all laughing
All singing my praises
I wear this cracked mask
That looks like a smile
And look into their eyes
That have grown hollow with time

So many lifetimes ago
My dreams were so close and clear
But now I just stand and watch,
Smiling as they dissolve right here
What is the future worth to me,
If I have nothing to gain?
Is so little happiness
Worth so much pain?

[Chorus]
