[Verse 1]
Why have you wasted the time? Drown in hideous nights
Oh, why have you woken the thoughts of a paranoid mind?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Know him at all

[Chorus]
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth
Dead promises
I can't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you

[Verse 2]
Why can't you see that your powers will weaken and fall?
Oh why, why you seem to forget what you make us recall?

[Pre-Chorus]
I've seen the walls collapsing, breaking down
Countless times
The one that keeps on pulling you under
Do you know him at all?
Know him at all
[Chorus]
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Dead promises
Games you play will kill your dreams
I'm still here where you belong
Stop running from the truth
Dead promises
I can't change what you believe
Promises mean everything
Life won't look back for you
Dead promises
