Was I Even There (Harder Version)

[Intro] (Operatic vocalizing) [Verse 1] Faucets running, lights all on You don't notice that I'm gone Gone the footsteps and gone the sighs Gone the smiles, gone the lies Don't you care that you're alone When you awaken, safe at home Don't you see, if no one cares They won't know when you're not there [Chorus] Was I even there? Did I take up space? Will you remember who I was When another takes my place? [Verse 2] Family photos gather dust Favorite trinkets start to rust Face's fade into the past These memories were supposed to last. Pictures of a happier time Before the hate, before the crime Pictures prove that I was there So tell me why nobody cares? [Chorus] Was I even there? Did I take up space? Will you remember who I was When another takes my place? When another takes my place? [Bridge] This town was home It doesn't miss my face Why don't you see what you lost? Why don't you see it anymore? Don't you see it anymore? [Breakdown] Draw you out, pull you in Tear apart limb from limb Don't go in there, stay away Death runs follow, so they say Ancient curses haunt these rocks Hear them whisper hot winds toss Blood red stones in pitch black holes Are those screams of tortured souls? [Chorus] I move without thought To cliffs sharp and steep My will has no defense Against these surging dark and deep (Operatic vocalizing) [Outro] People enter, don't come out Never scream, never shout Disappear into the light No one there that will pull a fight Something keeps me coming back In spite of fear, sudden attack Feel the drop and then the splash Shadows dance in light that sparks My feet move without thought To cliffs so sharp and steep My will has no defense Against these surging dark and deep Against these surging dark and deep And I need to know What secrets this hell mouth keeps If I descend, will I ever see? Will I see the light of day? Will I see the light again?
