Lyrics

I've been losing myself in anger
So much broken by the rage
Nothing could take my mind off
How to make them pay
Killing myself for nothing
Then the pain will go away
Losing myself to madness
And the game’s been played
If I could turn the hands of time
I would but here I am
Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone
I’m living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why I am still trying to hold on
I’ve got to tear it down to let it go
I’m too tired to keep on trying
But I’m spellbound ‘til the end
Knowing that there’s no closure
For my wars inside
I’ve buried the good and evil
Only memories left behind
Iron the wounds to stand in
I will live to tell
If I could turn the hands of time
I would but here I am
(Here I am!)
Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone
I’m living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why I am still trying to hold on
I’ve got to tear it down to let it go
Tell me why I’m wasting away,
Tell me why to break my own chains,
‘Cause I’m losing after all,
How can I escape this bricked fate,
Tell me why I face one more day,
‘Cause I’m wasting away
[Guitar solo]
It’s all gone silent
Searching for violent,
Nothing to fight for alone
Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone
Ohoooh I’m living with the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still here when it’s all gone
(When it’s all gone, when it’s all gone)
I’m living with the ghost of yesterday
(Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone)
Tell me why I am still trying to hold on
I’ve got to tear it down to let it go

I' ve been losing myself in anger
So much broken by the rage
Nothing could take my mind off
How to make them pay
Killing myself for nothing
Then the pain will go away
Losing myself to madness
And the game' s been played
If I could turn the hands of time
I would but here I am
Tell me why am I still here when it' s all gone
I' m living like the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why I am still trying to hold on
I' ve got to tear it down to let it go
I' m too tired to keep on trying
But I' m spellbound ' til the end
Knowing that there' s no closure
For my wars inside
I' ve buried the good and evil
Only memories left behind
Iron the wounds to stand in
I will live to tell
If I could turn the hands of time

How can I escape this bricked fate,
Tell me why I face one more day,
' Cause I' m wasting away

It' s all gone silent
Searching for violent,
Nothing to fight for alone
Tell me why am I still here when it' s all gone
Ohoooh I' m living with the ghost of yesterday
Tell me why am I still here when it' s all gone
When it' s all gone, when it' s all gone
I' m living with the ghost of yesterday
Yesterday' s gone, yesterday' s gone
Tell me why I am still trying to hold on
