Dm
Catch me as I fall say you're here and it's all over now
Speaking to the atmosphere no one's here and I fall into myself
This truth drives me into madness
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away
Dm Bb C Dm
Don't turn away don't give in to the pain
Bb Gm Em
Don't try to hide though they're screaming your name
Dm Bb C Dm
Don't close your eyes god knows what lies behind them
Bb Gm Em Dm
Don't turn out the light never sleep never die
Dm
I'm frightened by what I see but somehow
I know that there's much more to come
Immobilized by my fear and soon to be blinded by tears
I can stop the pain if I will it all away
fallen angels at my feet
Whispered voices at my ear
Death before my eyes
Lying next to me i fear
She beckons me shall i give in
Upon my end shall i begin
Forsaking all i've fallen for
I rise to meet the end
