Chimaira - Chimaira Album Lyrics

Nothing Remains

I shout these words to those who never listened
I pen this letter with the utmost conviction
It's been dark in here, cold and relentless
It's been too long: I can no longer fight this

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

All these years passed. No one heard my true feelings
You continued to act like you knew me
Did you ever stop to think that I'd be able
To look in your eyes and say that I'm stable

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've silenced the pain

Don't tell me, that I am taking the easy way out [2x]

No underlying message to figure out
What you got from me is what I put out [2x]

No one knew a thing about me
Just longing to be accepted
Wait 'til you see what I've become

My lifelessness [2x]

Too late to change my mind
Nothing remains
I've Silenced the pain

Save Ourselves

What a shame breaking down
What is getting the best of you
Take a breath, it's not complex
I'm going to put your mind at ease
Innocent people are not meant to suffer
We're making negative energy power
This will be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

You're afraid that I'm right
I know it eats you up inside
Well listen to me and you will see
You have to let those fears fly free
The only danger in this world is to be
Weak-mind with insecurities
This won't be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

Why do you fear every one of us
Why do you hate every one of us, you crush us
Why do we feel we are wasting our time
Go away, end this now
You need to get down off this cloud
Start focusing and listening
And feel it's the time to change things
When I'm alone, I don't feel hope less at all
The day must come where we can stand tall
And this will be our truth

Can you feel us, we're stronger
We prey on the weak and conquer
No longer care for those
Who try to condemn and oppose
We'll save ourselves

Inside The Horror

A blank Expression
Pale eyes wide cocked back
The sheer stagnation
Shame to all who thought this an act
The best years of this life
Felt wasted protecting a secret
Insecurities fed on like a rat

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Burning sensation
To live just one day
In pure Elation
Blame the ones who took this way
Can't provide safety from
Monsters trapped within the mind

Depression
True fears of dependency
Affliction
The scars on such a fragile little body
Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Shake the hand of god
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker
The sun starts to fade away
The blank expression on the blade
Skin calloused yet easy to pierce
On he floor, blood mixed with... tears

Look
Take a look inside the horror
Take a look inside
Visualize the horrors inside

Shake the hand of god
As the blade moves closer
The reflection is brighter than the sun
The perception becomes weaker

Salvation

Endless nights filled with misery
Sick of familiar patterns
Bruise after cut
Can't wash away my scars

This is a night of... salvation (salvation)
One the night of salvation (salvation)

This life always pained me
Tired of the same routine
All lies I've told
Can't hide the little things

This is a night of... salvation(salvation)
One the night of salvation(salvation)
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away (cower away)

[x2]
Adrenaline stronger than ever
Feel it all come together

On the night of... salvation (salvation)
On the night of... salvation (salvation)
Life has been left behind me
I will not cower away (cower away)

(salvation)
(salvation)
(salvation)
(salvation)

Comatose

I am theconstant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I am inside
I am the constant chill

That moves up and down your spine
I am the versatile one
That moves in and out your mind
I am the dark abyss
That haunts before your prayers
And I am the Nemesis
That haunts in your nightmares

You can feel when I inside you
And you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I am the God you love
That moves in and out your veins
I am the addiction
That buries you in shame

You can feel when I inside you
And you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through
The smell of fear is so enticing
It's so inviting
There is nothing more that I love
Than to tear your apart

I am inside and you know that
I controle you
I enslave you
I destroy you and I leave you comatose

I've wrapped these chains so tight
You can't break through

I am theconstant chill
I am the versatile one
I am the God you loved
I am the addiction
I leave you comatose

Left For Dead

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"'Til death do us part" means nothing to you
Greed has caused you to betray your family
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell
You act like we're we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead

How could you choose money instead

Greed has caused you to become a monster
Greed has caused you to become so cold
You said you loved him, then you put him away
"'Til death do us part" means nothing to you
Greed has caused you to become so jaded
We've got some news for you, every dollar you save
Will cushion your pillows in hell
You act like we're we're blind, deaf and dumb
Betrayal has now left us numb
We're sorry we can't escape from
This choice now we all must succumb
He's been thrown away, left for dead

This is only father we're dead
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead

We will never forget that you're the reason
This sadness has overwhelmed us
This grief is too much to bear
How can we look you in the eyes
How could you ruin his life
After all the years of joy he brought us
There's no "we" anymore
There's no "us" anymore

You will have to live your last days infamy
How could you do this
How could you choose to have him
Thrown away, left for dead
This is only father we've had
Thrown away, left for dead
How could you choose money instead

Everything You Love

Can't sleep with all this frustation, intoxication
I no longer have regret
So what if I cause hysteria, it's not my dilemma
I'm only here to inflict pain

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate

A thorn in my side for eight years
The man who sheds no tears
I am here to expose you
All of the poison that you take
All people you violate
Your faith can't save you now

I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day, I will retaliate

I am your family with the power
To end everything
Everything you love

You should be paranoid
I guess I no longer share this vision
I guess I have a new agenda
While you sink down into your hole
I am proud watching you lose control

[x2]
I will never forgive the ones who pushed me away
Like a tumor, rage grows inside me
Reminding me every day

I am your family with the power
To end everything

Everything you want
Everything you feel
Everything you need
Everything you love

You love! [x3]

Bloodlust

Your true definition of me
Your idea that I'm real
All of this is an illusion
Even through you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

No more boundaries to cross
There is nothing uncommon
Indifferent to the pain I've caused
This confession means nothing

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

This demon cannot be hushed
These cowards will all be crushed
No longer will I hide from them
My ways are set in stone
Nobody Has ever known me
A life truly spent alone
Your true definition of me
Your idea that I'm real
All of this is an illusion
Even through you can feel

My touch and my eyes
They lie and they victimize
My touch and my eyes
Pierce through make you realize
I never wanted this world to be better
I always wanted this world to suffer
My flesh, my blood, all my animosity
Give me strength and define me
A blood lust, it's all I trust

Pray For All

Everything was perfect before I found my dream
You were the world to me
When I used to hate myself for trying
Now relying on you for direction seems so trite
Your attitude was quick to change when you thought
One minute might go by without being sought
Who do you think you are, manipulator
How did it get this far

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you

I'll stop at nothing, don't doubt me
You've reined enough
The lies you've been telling me you've been caught
Your enemy is reality
Your fatal flaw, meeting me

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you
Pray for all the lives you've ruined

Everyone you have betrayed will watch you burn
Everyone you have deceived will watch you burn
Everyone will watch you burn

I will make you pay for all the lives you've ruined
Pray you're able to breath while I strangle you

Lazarus

Eleven five, ninety-four, six thirty, morning
Woke up panicked, sweating, with a mouth full of vomit
No idea what could be wrong
Blew it off as this illness was common
Went back to sleep, then the phone rings
Fell to the ground
As the news was haunting... haunting

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why

Eleven eight, ninety-four, six thirty evening
The first time we're seeing Lazarus unconscious
Dressed in the clothes he loved
Laid out with all of his favorites
The tears of so many friends
Looked around and this view was haunting... haunting

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why

Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to watch Lazarus rise
Never had a chance to thank him
Never had an explanation
Never had a chance to say goodbye

Lazarus endend his life, ungodly sacrifice, no reason why
Never had a chance to say goodbye
