Nobody knows Where did they go? All that remains of their experiments in Siberia Abandoned research facility closed by the KGB One lone wanderer may have gotten close Stand before the portal into the world of ghosts All I know is I need to know The truth beyond & so I explore I am gonna open up that door

Oh welcome to your new home I hope you find my humble abode A cozy place to die all alone 'Cause your stuck here for life & for death as well by your own design Not everyday a human strolls right inside The doorway to their own demise So get comfy (Put up your feet) You are gonna be here for awhile (Awhile) You are gonna be here for sometime (Sometime) Let me be the first to say Welcome to the world of ghosts Blood-red rivers and pitch-black skies I am your undead gracious host Graveyard neighborhoods reach out for miles Wait, why are you running? Where are you gonna go? Was it something I said? Oh no No matter where you're headed You'll be groping in the dark You won't fit in with your beating heart I would've made you a ghost like me Totally free of charge I would've only eaten your heart I promise you wouldn't feel a thing I'm really good at what I do It would've been a mercy for you

If you open up my mind If you take a peak inside You'll see there lives a monster in me I'll be just fine I will learn to live with it (a) Here I thought that I was doing the right thing But all along I was marching towards my hell A monster called regret lives behind my face & now I can't go back, I'm stuck here in this place (b) All I've done up until now I'd change it all someway somehow What I thought mattered the most I was wrong I want you close Why did I not think of that before? Why'd I have to open up that door? Unforetold consequences For every stupid choice I've made Unforetold consequences I should've seen from miles away I wish I could tell you Where I am and how I'm feeling now I wish my voice would reach out (a) I just wanted to find the truth beyond The truth was so much worse than I had thought Now everything I knew & loved is gone There's no hope left for me here to hold on My radio stays silent until the dawn I'm lost I have no contact with anyone I live among the demons, the ghosts, the dead I'm living with a monster called regret If you're hearing this message it's much too late I've lost my mind already I've gone insane I opened up the door & crossed through the gate I've come to learn there's no hope of escape I've thrown my whole life right down the drain Why do things have to change? Can't they stay the same? I live among the demons, the ghosts, the dead I'm living with a monster called regret (b) (sus) Among the ghosts Among the dead Among the demons Among regret Among the ghosts Among the damned Among my demons I lost my friends (c) You are holy but dead to me You are always right here with me You are a lonely memory You are never here with me (d) Every time I think about it I am gonna pass out Every time it crosses my mind I will fall down How can life change so quickly so fast? I am feeling so disconnected from my past What is my life now that I don't have you? What do I do now that I don't have to? How do I justify my own existence? Why do I send this message when no one's gonna listen?

Why don't you listen to a lullaby I've written for you? Why don't you come closer? Rest your eyes on the mounds of my tongue sir Why don't you rest easy in a slumber never ending? Why don't you fall asleep here? Get away from your waking nightmare

My micro mind is all on it's own here Wait till you're alone & you'll realize you are so small This mind of mine thought it would find you here It seems as though I've followed a trail to nowhere When I think of life & of all the truth I don't know if I believe in you All I know is that I am here & I'll do my best to stay alive Just as I was ready to give up all hope Of finding survivors in the world of ghosts Silhouettes appeared in a shape like my own I heard their voice softly as if through a phone Somewhere along the way we all got lost (In the dark, in the dark, in the dark) Through terror & frail dismay we'd forgotten our cause (It was heart, we lost ours in the dark) How could I repay you for the gift of a new home? Though my old life is surely over I found a family to call my own The whole world is brighter now How could I forget you in the midst of your return? When everyone else forgets you I'll be watching as you burn The whole world is quiet now
