Left Behind Lyrics

So afraid to open your eyes

You know too well that which awaits you

Something undefined there in the halflight

The demon without

The demon inside to plague and torment you

Feeling so sure, feeling so uncertain that something is wrong

Everyone's gone and you have been left behind

Everyone left the demon inside

Do you still hear their laughter

So hard to describe

You never forget the faces that haunt you

Awake or asleep, I know you can't tell

Unable to sleep

Unable to fight

Unwilling to wake to open your eyes

to face your oppressor

Still you go on convinced it will end

Can you remember 

a day when it was not, not like this?

Unsure of yourself, unsure of your thoughts

Unable to know if what you think is right or wrong

Still you go on convinced it will end

Like someone pushes a blade through your mind

There on the edge where no-one will find you

Still hearing them laugh

Is there no light at the end for you

Why is everything wrong?

Here I am

Here I am with these words

Trying to say something I can't

Something I can't tell you

Nothing is wrong

The demons they have left you

You were not left behind

You were not left behind

So open your eyes

So open your eyes

Unable to sleep

Unable to fight

Unwilling to wake

Please open your eyes

For here I stand 

unable to tell you what I am trying to say

Nothing is wrong

Please open your eyes

Nothing is wrong

You were not left behind
