1.
You took the wrong turn,
 The worst path to choose.
 Stuck on the crossing.
 A narrow border between life and death. CHORUS
 This is your life falling to the ground, 
Into a million shattered pieces.
 Dry bones are all there's left, 
for empty promises never last.

 One man stood up to rescue you, 
Struggled to open the door.
 The small chance he had: at least he tried, 
His blood is on your hands. CHORUS I can see a dead end coming in your way
 Are you sure you're here to stay?

 What were you thinking?
 The panic cut off your limbs.
 It cost him his life,
 His blood wasted for you. CHORUS
2.
I am your worst nightmare,
 The one who loves despair.
 Come on and let these lies
 keep you from closing your eyes.

 Darling now sleep, Don't cry, don't weep. CHORUS
 So do not fear, for I am with you.
 I'll be the light in your darkest night.

 Evil is creeping in,
 A wolf in sheep's clothing.
 Come on and let these lies
 keep you from closing your eyes.

 CHORUS

 I know what you want, you get nothing from me.
3.
I wanted to be loved,
 For how great I am. 
I am still fighting for my pride, 
For what I have done.

 Why would you clear my tracks?
 When you’re the basis for action.

 CHORUS 
I am afraid it will crash and burn,
 I know I am in deep.
 I know I'm slowly failing,
 But still I'll climb up myself. 

I refuse to fullfill your desires,
 Because my plans will take you higher.

 I have always tried to live life by myself. 
I don't want you to solve, I don't want you to fix this shit.
 Let my troubles be mine, my depths are my challenges. CHORUS

 Are you falling or is it flying? 
Are you burning or igniting?
 What is the meaning of your trust,
 When you ignore my biggest promise.
4.
When will this house become a home?
 When will you stop wandering alone?
 You've got a place to lay your head,
 But do you ever really rest?
 Though you've got a place to lay your head.

 CHORUS 
I'm coming home in your arms.
 I find freedom in your scars. 

 I am trapped in this place, Searching for a solid base.
 Will you hear my call, And help me break down this wall.

 CHORUS

 Now keep your eyes shut,
 Like you keep your doors locked. 

I'm coming home in your arms. CHORUS
