## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

Sing it for me

I can't erase the stupid things I say

You're better than me

I struggle just to find a better way

**CHORUS**

So Here We Are, fighting and, trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

**VERSE 2**

You wouldn't like me, keep moving on until forever ends

Don't try and fight me, the beauty queen has lost her crown again

CHORUS

So Here We Are, fighting and, trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

Goodbye

Why are you so eager to betray

Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up

Why are you the one to walk away

Pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up, pick the pieces up

So Here We Are, fighting and, trying to hide the scars

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

The lonely road, the one that I should try to walk alone

I'll be home tonight, take a breath and softely say goodbye

**Dear Agony** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin, and is the title song and the ninth song off of their 2009 fourth studio album Dear Agony.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

I have nothing left to give

I have found a perfect end

You are made to make it hurt

disappear into the dirt

Carry me to heaven's arms

Light the way, let me go

Take the time to take my breath

I will end where i begin

**PRE CHORUS**

And I will find the enemy within

Cause I can feel it crawl beneath my skin

**CHORUS**

Dear Agony

Just let go of me

Suffer slowly

Is this the way it's gotta be

Dear Agony

**VERSE 2**

Suddenly the light goes out

Let forever drag me down

I will fight for one last breath

I will fight until the end

**PRE CHORUS**

And I will find the enemy within

Cause I can feel it crawl within my skin

**CHORUS**

Dear Agony

Just let go of me

Suffer slowly

Is this the way it's gotta be

Don't burry me

Faceless enemy

I'm so sorry

Is this the way it's gotta be

Dear Agony

**VERSE 3**

Leave me alone

God let me go

I'm blue and cold

Black sky will burn

Love pull me down

Hate lift me up

Just turn around

There's nothing left

Somewhere far beyond this world

I feel nothing anymore

**CHORUS**

Dear Agony

Just let go of me

Suffer slowly

Is this the way it's gotta be

Dear Agony

## Lyrics

VERSE 1

Take a photograph

I will be the last

Not a dollar or a crowd could ever keep me here

I don't have a past

I just have a chance

Not a family or honest plea remains to stay

CHORUS

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

VERSE 2

Is it you I want

Or just the notion of

A heart to wrap around so I can find my way around

Safe to say from here

You're getting closer now

We are never sad, cause we are not allowed to be

CHORUS

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

To lie here under you is all that I could ever do

To lie here under you is all

To lie here under you is all that I could ever do

To lie here under you is all

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

Rain rain, go away, come again another day, all the world is waiting for the sun

All the world is waiting for the sun

All the world is waiting for the sun

All these imaginary friends

Fighting betrayal, driving the nail

Hoping to find a savior

Help me survive here alone

Don't surrender, surrender, a-ah

**CHORUS**

When you have certain experiences

Of a complex mental process But you get the idea.

Cause, Effect. Nature endows us at birth with 3 general patterns of emotional response

Rage: Is the response to the primary stimulus of

Thwarting Something interfering with our behavior, our action

Fear: Is the response to loud noises, or loss of support

And the emotional response to

Love Is usually the result of a show of affection, or favors the primary stimulus of

Thwarting Something interfering with our behavior

Fear: Is the response to loud noises, or loss of support

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

You Fight Me, flat on my lonely face I fell

Finding in the end all is well

In the light of the life that I have found

It's coming down

I know it isn't real

But it's easy to beat me, suck it up

Life is sink or swim, love is blinding

No surviving

I don't know what I want to be yet

And I can show that I need to see this

No time for lies or empty fights, I'm on your side

**PRE CHORUS**

Can we live a life of peace and happiness, I don't think so

And looking I am scared to loose the things I love, I'm in control

**CHORUS**

This is how, this is how it's gonna end

This is how, this is how it's gonna end, end

**PRE CHORUS**

Everyone is waiting here for everyone, leave me alone

This is how, this is how it's gonna end

This is how, this is how it's gonna end

This is how, this is how it's gonna end, no

This is how, this is how it's gonna end, end

   Phobia.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

So clever, whatever, I'm done with these endeavors

Alone I walk the winding way, here I stay

It's over, no longer, I feel it growing stronger

I live to die another die, until I fade away

**CHORUS**

Why give up?  Why give in?  It's not enough, it never is

I will go on Until the End

We've become desolate, it's not enough, it never is

I will go on Until the End

**VERSE 2**

Surround me, it's easy, to fall apart completely

I feel you creeping up again, here I stay

It's over, no longer, I feel it growing colder

I knew this day would come to end, so let this life begin

**CHORUS**

Why give up?  Why give in?  It's not enough, it never is

So I will go on until the end

We've become desolate, it's not enough, it never is

So I will on until the end

I've lost my way, I've lost my way

So I will go on until the end

Living is hard enough without you fucking UP!

Why give up?  Why give in? It's not enough, it never is

So I will go on until the end

We've become desolate, it's not enough, it never is

So I will go on until the end

I've lost my way, I've lost my way

So I will go on until the end

Oooooo Ooooooo

The final fight I win, the final fight I win, the final fight I win

So I will go on Until the End

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

I want a normal life

Just like a newborn child

I am a lover-hater

I am an instigator

You are an oversight

Don't try to compromise

I'll learn to love to hate it

I am not integrated

**PRE CHORUS**

Just call my name

You'll be okay

Your scream is burning through my veins

**CHORUS**

Sooner or Later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw your life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw your life away

**VERSE 2**

You're like an infintile

I knew it all the while

You shouldn't try to play me

Just like you see on TV

I am an oversight

Just like a parasite

Why am I so pathetic?

I know you won't forget it!

**PRE CHORUS**

Just call my name

You'll be okay

Your scream is burning through my veins

**CHORUS**

Sooner or Later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw my life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw my life away

Sooner or Later

You're gonna hate it

Go ahead and throw my life away

Driving me under

Leaving me out there

Go ahead and throw my life away

Throw my life away

Throw my life away

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

Borderline

Dead inside

I don't mind

Falling to pieces

Count me in

Violent

Let's begin

Feeding the sickness

How do I

Simplify

Dislocate

The enemy's on the way

**CHORUS**

Show me what it's like

To dream the black and white

So I can leave this world tonight

**VERSE 1**

Full of fear

Ever clear

I'll be here

Fighting forever

Curious

Venomous

You'll find me

Climbing to heaven

Nevermind

Turn back time

You'll be fine

I will get left behind

**CHORUS**

Show me what it's like

To dream the black and white

So I can leave this world tonight

Holding on to tight

Breathe the breath of life

So I can leave this world tonight

**VERSE 3**

It only hurts just once

It's only broken bones

Hide the hate inside

Show me what it's like

To dream the black and white

So I can leave this world tonight

Holding on to tight

Breathe the breath of life

So I can leave this world tonight

**Hopeless** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin, and is the fifth song off of their 2009 fourth studio album Dear Agony.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

Here I lie forever

Sorrow still remains

Will the water pull me down

And wash it all away?

Come and take me over

Welcome to the game

Will the current drag me down

And carry me away?

Suddenly the light begins to fade

**CHORUS**

HOPELESS!

I'm falling down

FILTHY!

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

WORTHLESS!

It's over now

GUILTY!

There's no way out

I cannot hold on

I will not let go

**VERSE 2**

Silent I go under

I am not afraid

I can feel the daylight die

And slowly drift away

Safe to say it's over

Sink into the grave

There's nothing left inside

But I am wide awake

I can here the devil call my name

**CHORUS**

HOPELESS!

I'm falling down

FILTHY!

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

WORTHLESS!

It's over now

GUILTY!

There's no way out

I cannot hold on

I will not let go

HOPELESS!

I'm falling down

FILTHY!

I can't wake up

I can not hold on

I will not let go

WORTHLESS!

It's over now

GUILTY!

There's no way out

I cannot hold on

I will not let go

**Had Enough** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin, and is the eleventh song off of their 2007 third studio album Phobia.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

Milk it for all it's worth, make sure you get there first

The apple of your eye, the rotton core in sight

We are the prisoners, things couldn't get much worse

I've had it up to here, you know your end is near

**CHORUS**

You had to have it all, well have you had enough

You greedy little bastered, you will get what you deserve

When all is said and done, I will be the one

To leave you in the misery and hate what you've become

**VERSE 2**

Intoxicated eyes, no longer live that life

You should have learned by now, I'll burn this whole world down

I need some piece of mind, no fear of what's behind

You think you've won this fight, you've only lost your mind

**CHORUS**

You had to have it all, well have you had enough

You greedy little bastered, you will get what you deserve

When all is said and done, I will be the one

To leave you in the misery and hate what you've become

oooooooooooooooooooo

Hold me down, I will live agian

Hold me down, I will break you

Hold me down, better in the end

Hold me down

You had to have it all, well have you had enough

You greedy little bastered, you will get what you deserve

When all is said and done, I will be the one

To leave you in the misery and hate what you've become

**INTRODUCTION**

FALL!

**VERSE 1**

Now the dark begins to rise

Save your breath it's far from over

Leave the lost and dead behind

Now's your chance to run for cover

I don't wanna save the world

I just wanna leave it colder

Light the fuse and burn it up

Take the path that leads to nowhere

**PRE CHORUS**

All is lost again

But I'm not giving in

I Will Not Bow

I Will Not Break

I will shut the world away

I will not fall

I will not fade

I will take your breath away

FALL!

Watch the end through dying eyes

Now the dark is taking over

Show me where forever dies

Take the fall and run to heaven

All is lost again

But I'm not giving in

I Will Not Bow

I will not break

I will shut the world away

I have lost the will to change

And I'm not proud, cold blooded fake

I will shut the world away

**INTERLUDE**

FALL!

**CHORUS**

I Will Not Bow

I will not break

I will shut the world away

Phase (Song)

**Phase** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin and the ninth song off of their debut album Saturate.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

The light is dead in your eye, so I'll keep living my life

I always wanted to try, to find my way back inside

My imitation of life, my litigation of life

It's something easy to find, inside the shade of your eye

**CHORUS**

Out of the ground I rise to grace, nobody knows it's just a Phase

Help me I'm out of breath again, nobody knows someplace to make it go away

Phase, Phase, Phase, Phase, Phase

**VERSE 2**

I find it hard to decide, the way to make up your mind

Your lips are better than mine, so you can kiss this goodbye

My imitation of life, my litigation of life

It's something easy to find, inside the shade of your eye

**CHORUS**

Out of the ground I rise to grace, nobody knows it's just a Phase

Help me I'm out of breath again, nobody knows someplace to make it go away

Phase, Phase, Phase, Phase, Phase

It's just a Phase, and I can't wait

Phase, Phase, Phase, I know, I know, I know

It's just a fucking Phase, I'm drained time to fake and delay

Watch the penny drop, let it go up and in drop

Then watch it roll, let's all mourn till, I survive inside you

**The Diary Jane** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin, and is the first song off of their 2007 third Studio Album,

   Phobia.  The song was the fastest song ever added to Holywood Records, and was featured in the video game NASCAR 07.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

If I had to, would I put myself right beside you?

So let me ask you, would you like that?  Would you like that?

And I don't mind if you say this love is the last time

So now I'll ask, do ya like that?  Do ya like that?

NO!

**CHORUS 1**

Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break

I will try to find my place in The Diary of Jane

So tell me how it should be

**VERSE 2**

Try to find out What makes you tick, as I lie down

Sore and sick, do ya like that? Do ya like that?

There's a fine line Between love and hate And I don't mind

Just let me say, That I like that, I like that

**CHORUS 1**

Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break

I will try to find my place in The Diary of Jane

As I burn another page, as I look the other way

I will try to find my place in The Diary of Jane

So tell me how it should be

**CHORUS 2**

Desparate I will crawl, waiting for so long

No love, there's no love, die for anyone, what have I become?

**CHORUS 1**

Something's getting in the way, something's just about to break

I will try to find my place in The Diary of Jane

As I burn another page, as I look the other way

I will try to find my place in The Diary of Jane

## Music Video

The music video for The Diary of Jane depicts a woman named Jane Bryan.  She wakes up in a bathtub getting out

   and getting dressed.  However, her vanity mirror is gone and only the frame remaining.  Jane runs around her house with the same result with every mirror she encountered.  Scenes of the band performing in a room littered with mirrors.  She soon trips across the same room where all the mirrors are and she can't see her reflection in any of them.  The video ends with Benjamin Burnley placing a rose in a book on top of her tombstone, confirming the intended story of the song and the video:  she fell asleep and drowned in the bathtub.  The video was directed by Ryan Smith, and starred Sarah Mather as Jane Bryan.

## Alternative Versions

Since the song was originally released back in 2007, there were a total of 3 versions of the song created: the original version, the album version, and an acoustic version.  The original version and the album version possess almost no actual differences, with the one major exception that the ending of the original version fades out on a much lower note, with a few other minor differences.

## Later Releases

### Shallow Bay

The Diary of Jane later appeared on their 2011 compilation album Shallow Bay:  The Best of Breaking Benjamin on the first two discs.

**VERSE 1**

A shadow of a man

I am nothing less

Stlll holding on

And every now and then

Life begins again

I am holding on

Still holding on

Your werek dead heart

Your black dead eyes

I'll make it through

But not this time

Your hope is gone

And so is mine

Crawl back inside

SICK! BLIND!

Love left behind

And I won't live your week wicked lie

You pull me in

I'm one step behind

**VERSE 2**

Show me where it hurts

And I will make it worse

Are you holding on?

Keep holding on

Dialated eyes

Shine for one last time

Are you holding on?

Keep holding on

**PRE CHORUS**

You're not like me

Your faceless lies

Your week dead heart

Your black dead eyes

I'll break you in

And let this die

Your hope is gone

And so is mine

Crawl back inside

SICK! BLIND!

Love left behind

And I won't live your weak wicked lie

You pull me in

I'm one step behind

**VERSE 3**

I'm becoming a monster

Just like you

After it all you'll try to break me to

Falling forever

Chasing dreams

I brought you to life so I could hear you scream

SICK! BLIND!

Love left behind

And I won't live your weak wicked lie

You pull me in

I'm one step behind

Without You (Song)

**Without You** is a song by the band Breaking Benjamin, and is the eleventh and final song off of their 2009 fourth studio album Dear Agony.

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

Search for the answers I knew all along

I lost myself, we all fall down

Never the wiser of what I've become

Alone I stand, a broken man

All I have is one last chance

I won't turn my back on you

Take my hand, drag me down

If you fall then I will to

And I can't save what's left of you

**CHORUS**

Say something new

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark Without You

There's nothing left to loose

The fight never ends

I can't face the dark Without You

**VERSE 2**

Swallow me under and pull me apart

I understand there's nothing left

Pain so familiar and close to the heart

No more, no less, I won't forget

Come back down, save yourself

I can't find my way to you

And I can't bear to face the truth

**CHORUS**

Say something new

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark Without You

There's nothing left to loose

The fight never ends

I can't face the dark Without You

**VERSE 3**

I wanted to forget

I'm trying to forget

Don't leave me here again

I'm with you, forever, the end

**CHORUS**

Say something new

I have nothing left

I can't face the dark Without You

There's nothing left to loose

The fight never ends

I can't face the dark Without You

**POST CHORUS**

Holding the hand that holds me down

I'm with you, forever, the end

Holding the hand that holds me down

I'm with you, forever, the end

## Lyrics

**VERSE 1**

What's all this talk of a notion

I'd rather drink from the ocean

What did you mean when you said no?

I only want what is best for you

Well I won't ever let you drown

No I won't ever let you down

**CHORUS**

Cause I am my enemy

The water's up to my knee

I never wanted nothin' from you

Yes I do yes I do

My engine's running on dry

My head's so fucked up inside

Shut up, I know, I said so

**VERSE 2**

There is no way to recover

You told me there is no other

The surface is getting hotter

I'll shove your head under water

Well I won't ever let you drown

No I won't ever let you down

**CHORUS**

Cause I am my enemy

The water's up to my knee

I never wanted nothin' from you

Yes I do yes I do

My engine's running on dry

My head's so fucked up inside

Shut up, I know, I said so

Cause I am my enemy

The water's up to my knee

I never wanted nothin' from you

Yes I do yes I do

My engine's running on dry

My head's so fucked up inside

Shut up, I know, I said so

Shut up, I know, I said so

Shut up, Cause I know, I said so

Crowded streets are cleared away one by one

Hollow heroes separate as they run

You're So Cold keep your hand in mine

Wise men wonder while strong men die

Show me how it ends it's alright

Show me how defenseless you really are

Satisfied and empty inside

But that's alright

Let's give this another try

**VERSE 2**

If you find your family don't you cry

In this land of make believe dead and dry

You're So Cold but you feel alive

Lay your hands on me one last time

**CHORUS**

Show me how it ends it's alright

Show me how defenseless you really are

Satisfied and empty inside

But that's alright

Let's give this another try

Show me how it ends it's alright

Show me how defenseless you really are

Satisfied and empty inside

But that's alright

Let's give this another try

It's alright

Slip away, your vanity is gone

I'm falling out of place

We all fall down, the pain goes on

We bear through the war

And turn the lost away

We all fall down, the pain goes on

I'll be the fire that dries the flood

**CHORUS**

As I fight for one last breath

I'll keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer Defeated

**VERSE 2**

Stripped away, we rise above it all

Forgotten and betrayed

We all fall down, the pain goes on

No better than before, still broken and afraid

We all fall down, the pain goes on

And I'll be the cloud that hides the sun

**CHORUS**

As I fight for one last breath

I'll keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer Defeated

**INTERLUDE**

I'm falling to pieces (pained and used)

I no what I needed, it's not you, it's not you

**CHORUS**

As I fight for one last breath

I'll keep holding on

No love to believe in

As I drag the devil down

I will stand alone

No longer Defeated

No longer Defeated

No longer Defeated

Come on

And I float upon a shallow bay lift me up until the ground gives way

I'm a California castaway I don't think you want to fuck with me

Don't over kill this painless thrill It's bitter still your pretty pill

You wait until you've had your fill I know you will I know you will

**VERSE 1**

Cold am I, I'm beside myself

Because there's no one else

Have I gronw so blind?

Only God could save you

If you knew your way to the light

So fly away

And leave it behind

Just stay away

There's nowhere to hide

**CHORUS**

I see you

Cause you won't get out of my way

I hear you

Cause you won't quit screaming my name

I feel you

Cause you won't stop touching my skin

I need you

They're coming to take you away

**VERSE 2**

Frail and dry, I could loose it all

But I cannot recall, it's all wrong

Don't cry, clear away this hate

We can start to make it alright

So fly away, and leave it behind

Return someday, with red in your eyes

**CHORUS**

I see you

Cause you won't get out of my way

I hear you

Cause you won't quit screaming my name

I feel you

Cause you won't stop touching my skin

I need you

They're coming to take you away
