[Verse 2] You're always hiding behind Your so-called goddess So, what? You don't think That we can see your face? Resurrected back before The final falling I'll never rest until I can make my own way [Pre-Chorus] I'm not afraid of fading... [Chorus] I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I'm not dying for it I stand alone Everything that I believe is fading I stand alone Inside I stand alone [Bridge] And now it's my time (Now it's my time) It's my time to dream (It's my time to dream) Dream of the skies (Dream of the skies) Make me believe that this place Isn't plagued by the poison in me And help me decide if my fire will burn out Before you can breathe Breathe into me [Chorus] I stand alone inside I stand alone I stand alone Feeling your sting down inside me I'm not dying for it I stand alone Everything that I believe is fading I stand alone inside I stand alone inside I stand alone inside I stand alone inside

It's stronger than you can be Oh, stronger than you can be Oh, stronger than you can Be [Outro] And so you tell me I can't take my chances But I've told you one too many times And you were cryin' like a bitch And you wonder why no one can stand you There's no denyin' you were cryin' like a bitch You were cryin' like a bitch You were cryin' like a bitch You were cryin' like a bitch Oh, bitch

Lyrics: As I sit here And slowly close my eyes I take another deep breath And feel the wind pass through my body I'm the one in your soul Reflecting inner light Protect the ones who hold you Cradling your inner child [Chorus] I need serenity In a place where I can hide I need serenity Nothing changes, days go by [Post-Chorus] Where do we go when we just don't know? And how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? [Verse 2] Tragic visions Slowly stole my life Tore away everything Cheating me out of my time I'm the one who loves you No matter wrong or right And every day, I hold you I hold you with my inner child [Chorus] I need serenity In a place where I can hide I need serenity Nothing changes, days go by [Post-Chorus] Where do we go when we just don't know? And how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? [Outro] Where do we go when we just don't know? And how do we relight the flame when it's cold? Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? And when will we learn to control? (I need serenity) Where do we go when we just don't know? (I need serenity) And how do we relight the flame when it's cold? (I need serenity) Why do we dream when our thoughts mean nothing? (I need serenity) And when will we learn to control?
