All That I’m Living For

REFRAIN
• All that I’m living for,
All that I’m dying for,
• All that I can’t ignore alone at night.

I can feel the night beginning.
• Separate me from the living.
Understanding me,
• After all I’ve seen.
Piecing every thought together,
• Find the words to make me better.
If I only knew how to pull myself apart.

REFRAIN
• All that I’m living for,
All that I’m dying for,
• All that I can’t ignore alone at night.
All that I’m wanted for,
• Although I wanted more.
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

• I believe that dreams are sacred.
Take my darkest fears and play them
• Like a lullaby,
Like a reason why,
• Like a play of my obsessions,
Make me understand the lesson,
• So I’ll find myself,
So I won’t be lost again.

REFRAIN
• All that I’m living for,
All that I’m dying for,
• All that I can’t ignore alone at night.
All that I’m wanted for,
• Although I wanted more.
Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

• Guess I thought I’d have to change the world to make you see me,
To be the one.
• I could have run forever,
But how far would I have come
• Without mourning your love?

REFRAIN
All that I’m living for,
• All that I’m dying for,
All that I can’t ignore alone at night.
• All that I’m wanted for,
Although I wanted more.
• Lock the last open door, my ghosts are gaining on me.

Should it hurt to love you?
• Should I feel like I do?
Should I lock the last open door,
• My ghosts are gaining on me.
