As I Lie Here Bleeding

Evergrey · Night To Remember: Live 2004 [2005]

I place my foot on the first step

That leads me down into my fate

So father please forgive me

As I cannot see it end

I am now up on the table

It trembles under my weight

I wipe away the cold sweat

Close my eyes &...



Falling out of what I know is true

Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding

Falling away from what I thought was you

Falling come shelter me as I lie here bleeding



So speak & I listen

I'll take the time to hear you out

So scream & I sure listen

I just need a little time



Gathering the pieces of a stronger me

Helpless weak & battered

My wounds are bleeding



Falling out of what I know is true...



Gathering the pieces...



Falling out of what I know is true...
