Verse:
Traces of my past
Thought they’d never last
Lurking away internally
Ravens knocking at my door
Vultures trying keeping score
The hostage inside  needs to be set free
at night I meditate
to keep the thoughts at bay
hidden away under lock and key
I tried to open my mind
But with everything I tried
I still saw the demons inside of me

Chorus:
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
I need to get out of here
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
Wish I just could disappear
Is it  all falling apart?
Or am i taking a brand new start
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
These are all the things I fear

Verse 2:
time passes by
faces in disguise
driven insane by uncertainty
can’t lean on my own shoulder
the world is getting colder
searching for my own identity
at night I meditate
to keep the thoughts at bay
hidden away under lock and key
I tried to open my mind
But with everything I tried
I still saw the demons inside of me

Chorus:
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
I need to get out of here
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
Wish I just could disappear
Is it  all falling apart?
Or am i taking a brand new start
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
These are all the things I fear

bridge:
My memories are gone with the wind
How can I show you my heart if I don’t let anyone in?
No one knows what tomorrow might bring
These scars will bleed before the healing begins
My memories are gone with the wind
How can I show you my heart if I don’t let anyone in?
No one knows what tomorrow might bring
These scars will bleed before the healing begins

Chorus:
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
I need to get out of here
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
Wish I just could disappear
Is it  all falling apart?
Or am i taking a brand new start
What the hell is going on?
Is it all going wrong?
These are all the things I fear

The Things I Fear

Verse:
You’re just another puppet longing for freedom
Wouldn’t you rather be something else
You get controlled by people who belong in a museum
Too old to lead us time for the era of the rebels

Pre-chorus:
Played the game, Gained no fame
Checkmate, It’s too late
No moves left, Feeling pressed
Played your ace, poker face
called your bluff, It’s not enough
Feeling blue, What to do
by the rules, is for fools
Been misled, Now you’re dead

Chorus:
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame

Verse 2:
You’re just another lost kid, who’s been abandoned
Living life as a broken pawn
Just remember to not forfeit, they won’t understand it
Making the best of the cards you’ve drawn

Pre-chorus:
Played the game, Gained no fame
Checkmate, It’s too late
No moves left, Feeling pressed
Played your ace, poker face
called your bluff, It’s not enough
Feeling blue, What to do
by the rules, is for fools
Been misled, Now you’re dead

Chorus
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame

Bridge
 I can’t take this anymore

Chorus
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame
Everyone’s living like they’re the joker
Have they not found out they’re not playing poker
One wrong move and you’re out of the game
They’ll end up on the wall of shame
