As smoke becomes the slave I can't bare the silence Tell me God, what price will I pay? What price will I pay? Always leave my thoughts to betray You were hiding in my agony I held on to every word that you spoke Give me sleep or give me disease I can't seem to move past the space Between you and me Nothing left, lost and abandoned Let this go, I'm begging you just to let me leave Leave me here, washed up and silent Breathe me out, I'm lost in the world of the dead No, its not the way its supposed to be I can't fall asleep, it won't set me free But I can't breathe because everything that I love Gets raped and then it's taken from me So bury my soul in the ashes And I'll lay them beside your grave Then I can sink into a place Where I can hear the shadows sing Of what was and what couldn't be Jaded, soulless, hopeless It's not the way it's supposed to be As smoke becomes the slave I can't stand the silence Tell me God, what price did I pay? What price did I pay? You'll never know what it meant to me But time heals nothing Spit me out Where I don't belong I'm driving nails through my eyes For all the things I've done For all the things I've done
