Left Behind

VNV Nation

So afraid

Open your eyes

Know too well

That fatuates you

Something undefined

There in the halflight

The demon without

The demon inside

To play then torment you

Feelings so sure

Feelings so uncertain

Something is wrong

Everyone's gone

You have been left behind

Everyone left the demon inside



Do you still hear the laughter

So hard to describe

And never forget

Faces that haunt you

Wake or sleep

You know you can't tell

Unable to sleep

Unable to fight

Unwilling to wake

To open your eyes

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

Of what you think is right or wrong

Still you go on

Convinced it will end

But someone pushes

A blade through your mind

There on the edge

No one will find you

So hearing them laugh

No light it's not 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

Here I stand

Unable to tell you

I'm trying to say

Nothing is wrong

Please open your eyes

Nothing is wrong

You were not left behind
