These feelings of emptiness inside    Chisel away at my self esteem    They take away,    Take away until all is gone again    And I'm torn between two sides    The side I love    The side I hate    I try to fight, I try to fight    It seems that darkness always wins       Rise hope    For the ransom    Rise hope       At the top of the hourglass of life   I didn't quite fall like everyone else    But still they bash me in,    Bash me in until all is gone again   And forces outside and forces within    Break me down when I am weak    I cannot stand, I cannot stand    With the weight put on my feet       I'm crushed by when you say it and lie it to my face
