Dead Promises
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Why
Have you wasted the time drown in hideous nights?
Oh, why
Have you woken the thoughts of a paranoid mind?
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth
Dead promises
I can't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you
Why
Can't you see that your powers will weaken and fall?
Oh, why
Why you seem to forget what you make us recall?
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth
Dead promises
I can't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you
Dead promises
