I've listened to the following 2 songs and these are the lyrics:

"Addiction"

Counting silence
Live your life in ecstacy
I'm your power
I make you more than you can be

I will follow
Like a shadow by your side
I am your shelter
I am a place where you can hide

You can't see me
I'm the one you won't admit
I'm your stronghold
Without me you don't exist

I lift you higher
Just to drop you to your knees
Control you proudly
You're a puppet on my strings

Can you see now
Lying underneath your skin
I am your weakness
I am the battle you can't win

You despise me
But I'll never set you free
I am addiction
And you are nothing without me

"Lost in the Dark"

I'm lost in the dark
Can't find my way
I can't see the path anymore
I don't think that I can do this alone

I'm tired and I'm weak
I'm backed in a corner
I hit my knees and I start praying
For the strength to get up, look in

And I held my hands out to you
But you turned me away
I'm screaming out loud with tears in my eyes
And you're letting me die

(Repeat again)

(Electric guitar solo)

And I held my hands out to you
But you turned me away (you turned me away)
I'm screaming out loud with tears in my eyes
And you're letting me die

You're letting me die
You're letting me die

I've tried using Google.
Might be a relatively unknown group.
Maybe someone knows who they are.

EDIT: Edited for length/clarity.

EDIT2: No it's not hard metal, and yes, the vocals are clear and sung by a guy

october tide - lost in the dark

i can't confirm it, but im pretty sure through my detective work

Nope, not nearly as depressing or metal as October Tide (listened to sample of October Tide's Lost in the Dark and it's not the right one).

That's what I want to know... if I knew I could do some detective work. Instead I have 2 mp3s I didn't know I had.
