1. A shadow of a man, I'm nothing less
I am holding on, still holding on
And every now and then life begins again
I am holding on, still holding on.

I'm not like you, your faceless lies
Your weak dead heart, your black dead eyes
I'll make it through but not this time
Your hope is gone and so is mine.

[Chorus:]
Live, fight, crawl back inside
Sick, blind, love left behind
And I won't live your weak wicked lie
You pull me in, I'm one step behind.

2. Show me where it hurts and I'll make it worse
Are you holding on? Keep holding on
Dilated eyes shine for one last time
Are you holding on? Keep holding on.

You're not like me, your faceless lies
Your weak dead heart, your black dead eyes
I'll break you in and let this die
Your hope is gone and so is mine.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
I'm becoming a monster, just like you
After it all you'll try to break me too
Falling forever, chasing dreams
I brought you to life so I can hear you scream.

[Chorus]

* I'm one step behind, I'm one step behind.
