IN FLAMES LYRICS

1. Sounds Of A Playground Fading

You can find all you need
The message is in the silence
Whisper words to calm your mind (whisper words to calm your mind)
Reach inside, numb the pain
Come around with answers

We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind?
Sounds of a playground fading, yeah

Staring into bright lights
I am what I've done
It is useless to hide
An empty chamber
Guess I was part of a plan

We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind?
Sounds of a playground fading

[Solo]

We're running out of time
Can't seem to recognize
What put us here in the first place
Counting down the days, beginning of the end

(We are…) We are ghosts of the concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind?

We are ghosts in a concrete world
Genetic codes of a dying breed
Will I be left behind?

2. Deliver Us

Remind me I'm golden
The fortress above the sun
Why don't you spend nowhere with me?
Follow the river and the path of the ones
Write out names on the shore

Forever - I can't find
Struggling in a world undefined
Or decide how you want it to be
I'm not in to live

Fly into the distant
Disappear for a while
I can't make sense of this
But we're here today feeling alive

It starts to fall apart
Let me take control
Reminisce

The days and nothing more
Something I will find again
Deliver us
Can't hear the words you say

Does it really matter?
I give the world to you if you just…

Fly into the distant
Disappear for a while
I can't make sense of this
But we're here today alive

[Solo]

Fly into the distant
Disappear for a while
I can't make sense of this
But we're here today alive

3. All For Me

Until the world ceases to move
A burning feeling, let me go, this is real
I wish one more thing
I clinch my hands and bang my head

Take whatever comes to you,
All the while, I don't need another friend.

I burn, when I do the things, I do for you.
Forever the night, and it's all for me now,
I'm sure that one day (I'm sure that one day)
I can get you all that you lost.

I never told, "Bad I stay, so sick in me."
I'm dying alone.
We stand to fight for nothing without a thought of reason
We will never be OK

I burn, when I do the things, I do for you.
Forever the night, and it's all for me now,
I'm sure that one day
I can get you all you lost.

A growing pain,
It is hard to say what brought the darkest burden.
For some of us there's no answer.

Chains are breaking,
I won't let this build up inside of me (ouh...)
There's a storm coming.
I will serve no more, 'til my very last breath

I burn, when I do the things, I do for you.
Forever the night, and it's all for me now,
I'm sure that one day
I can get you all that you lost.

4. The Puzzle

And I tried to think
Tried to paint the picture
Lived it all
Wouldn't have to feel this way

(Looking for something to believe in)
Looking for something to believe in
I think, I've done my time (my time...)

One by one the pieces fall
Tell me what it is to believe

You can tell days by their faces
There are always signs
Answers to the puzzle
Grab a piece of the light

Keep pretending, I can handle everything
You'll never understand me (light)
And I don't care what you think (light)
Or maybe I do?

(One by one the pieces fall)
One by one the pieces fall
Tell me what it is to believe

You can tell days by their faces
There are always signs
Answers to the puzzle
Grab a piece of the light
Grab a piece of the light (light...)

[Solo]

You can tell days by their faces
There are always signs
Answers to the puzzle
Grab a piece of the light

You can tell days by their faces
There are always signs
Answers to the puzzle
Grab a piece of the light (light...)

5. Fear Is The Weakness

At least you could have tried
It is way past time and we're scattering ashes
You take everything in sight, please hear me now
You, you are leaving me with scars

Uh, fear is the weakness in all of us
It's sad to see you go
It's not meant to be easy but you drag us down
Burden of the evidence grows

The same road for far too long
It's not meant to be, we are losing identity
Faith has been denied, let's not pretend
This is the first time, we just don't belong

[Solo]

What world do you perceive?
All turn cold, and no one cares for anyone
Waiting for the final blow
Do you have strength at all?
One more day then we fade away

Fear is the weakness in all of us
It's sad to see you go
It's not meant to be easy but you drag us down
Burden of the evidence grows

The same road for far too long
It's not meant to be, we are losing identity
Faith has been denied, let's not pretend
This is the first time, we just don't belong here!

The same road for far too long
It's not meant to be, we are losing identity
Faith has been denied, let's not pretend
This is the first time, we just don't belong

6. Where The Dead Ships Dwell

Big picture slowly fades,
Walls are closing in,
And there I was cursing the ground
Unable to understand

I won't let the world break me
So, I need to change direction
Nothing special and far from perfect
Light the way for me

(I won't say "I'm sorry"
I got, what I deserve)

Feel I was running an endless mile,
Last candle burns and I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

Walking where the dead ships dwell
These are shores I left behind
Streets were getting smaller
And I had to leave

Feel I was running an endless mile,
Last candle burns and I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind

[Solo]

All I hear is noise
Hearts of false hope
Guess, I took it for granted

I know, I went too far...
I won't say, "I'm sorry"
I got, what I deserve
I got, what I deserve

Feel I was running an endless mile,
Last candle burns and I'm dying inside
All of this will turn to ash
A change for a piece of mind
A change for a piece of mind

7. The Attic

There's someone in the attic
Building a strange machine
Never really seen him
But I think he works all day

Blinded by the world outside,
I stay inside
Hardly know my name
But it's getting better by time

I saw something in the mirror
Someone's watching me
If I hide in the attic
He will never get to me

I found some rope on the floor
I have to build a trap
So, I start on my machine
I am never to be seen

8. Darker Times

September's here again
Every insecurity reminds you
Who's at the helm?
Darker times
With fear in the eyes
Who's the man in charge?

Invented isolation
Alone and safe inside
Struggle with words,
That make sense in time

Yet waiting for someone to enter say,
"I have a better plan,
I have a better plan,
I have a better plan."

Never have to worry for all that we know
Truth be told as we lay down low
Walking the thin line
Let the happiness in for now
It's fine, we're living the lie

When light breaks
Another way to matter
All questions somehow answered
When life comes crushing
At the early break of day
We've only come so far

Never have to worry for all that we know
Truth be told as we lay down low
Walking the thin line
Let the happiness in for now
It's fine, we're living the lie

(Uh-auh...)

[Solo]

Never have to worry for all that we know
Truth be told as we lay down low
Walking the thin line
Let the happiness in for now

Uh, never have to worry for all that we know
Truth be told as we lay down low
Walking the thin line
Let the happiness in for now
It's fine, we're living the lie

9. Ropes

How much can we take before we care to settle?
Thought we were set for a perfect scene

Everyone is waiting for a failure
Something I can't please and justify
A void within my eyes
Everyone is waiting for something they cannot have

Why don't you drop your guard?
I'm on my knees
You got the mindset of a killer
And it will not take you far

If I had the answer,
Would that make you stay?
This is the time and place,
It is your moment of fate

(If this would be your... be your last breath)
If this would be your last breath
Would that change a thing?
Dive head first into the fire

If you just let me, I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay (for you to stay)
And I will untie all the ropes
It's hard for me, but believe me, I'm trying

[Solo]

What are you longing for?
What are you longing for?
What are you longing for?
If I had the answer,
Would that make you stay?
This is the time and place
You are waiting for something you cannot have

(If this would be your... be your last breath)
If this would be your last breath
Would that change a thing?
Dive head first into the fire

If you just let me, I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay (for you to stay)
And I will untie all the ropes
It's hard for me

Uh (If you just let me), if you just let me, I'll find a way
To ease your mind and for you to stay (for you to stay)
And I will untie all the ropes (all the ropes)
It's hard for me, believe me, I'm trying

10. Enter Tragedy

Twisting tongue
Fallen off the edge again
Need some space, need disgrace
I'm confused, I'm in a maze

(I need for you...)
I need for you to pick me up,
When I fall down

There's so much more
We can go far
But I can't control my selfish ways

Enter tragedy, slash my soul
Why is it part of the plan?
Do you question me?
I question you

Who's the man in front of me? (Who's the man in front of me?)
I'm blindfolded, I can't see
Need a reason, I'm left empty

There's so much more,
We can go far,
But I can't control my selfish ways

Enter tragedy, slash my soul
Why is it part of the plan?
Do you question me?
I question you

This inner apathy brings me to life
I know it's strange and it's draining me
I'm tired, I'm fed up, I'm a slave

[Solo]

Uah!
I'm tired, I'm fed up, I'm a slave

Enter tragedy, slash my soul
Why is it part of the plan?
Do you question me?
I question you
I question you

11. Jester's Door

I say goodbye to you all at once -

Don't dare to face you all alone.

I went from wreckage to world class with a box of t-shirts and some more records to sell

But times have changed - I have to defend my actions.

The foundation crumbles and I have to leave.

Thanks for everything - I couldn't ask for more...

I say I love you all... as I vanish through the Jester's Door.

12. A New Dawn

Uh-auh!

I dreamed that you had died
I'm forever alone
I'm weaken and I'm frightened

This place's about to change
Things you said to me
Believe and the things you might find
Will turn into a march

I stand alone and breathe again
I won't stop until this is through

And I can't wait to see the sunrise again (It's moments like this)
I am what you'll never be
To better what I am
You won't hear lies from me

Feel a sudden haze
Time to get moving
Getting somewhere with no directions
I swear to you it will never be the same
It's not straight, but the road lies open
Leaving all tears behind

I stand alone and breathe again
I won't stop until this is through

And I can't wait to see the sunrise again (It's moments like this)
I am what you'll never be
To better what I am
You won't hear lies from me

[Solo]

And I can't wait to see the sunrise again
It's moments like this
I am what you'll never be
To better what I am
You won't hear lies from me

Erase darkness from my mind
Last remaining night
From here to everywhere

I stand alone and breathe again
I won't stop until this is through

And I can't wait to see the sunrise again (It's moments like this)
I am what you'll never be
To better what I am
You won't hear lies from me

And I can't wait to see the sunrise again
I am what you'll never be
To better what I am
You won't hear lies from me

13. Liberation

I know what it takes to break you
You know I never sleep
Just because you made them think
Doesn't mean the world will fall into place

Took some time but now you know
Tomorrow is too late

Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for

I found the way and I'll return here soon
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
And I will be (be...), I will be with you tonight

If today was your last day
Would that change a thing?
You probably believe what you told them
Live each moment like your last (like your last)

Close your eyes, walk with me, I set you free
And everything you ask for

I found the way and I'll return here soon
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
I will be (be...), I will be with you tonight

Hoh-ouh

[Solo]

I found the way and I'll return here soon
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
I will be (oh), uah, I will be with you

(I found the way) I found the way and I'll return here soon
I have to see those who do not know
Rest in peace, I'm coming for you
I will be (oh), I will be with you tonight
