Final Day

Put the blindfold on your eyes as you try to hide from all of your fears Shortcomings and bad luck have you falling to your knees as all you’ve ever hoped and dreamed all you’ve ever loved and needed has slowly fallen into the depths of what can never be Just curl up inside yourself hidden from your loved ones’ view The doors are locked inside as you slowly harden against all the prying eyes You just can’t force yourself to face your crying eyes in the mirror anymore The blurry image staring back at you can’t drown away the feelings that you have And no matter what pain you cause it never hurts enough It never keeps yourself at bay And so you're stuck in the prison walls you built yourself trapped within your own mind And while you’ve more than served your time there’s no escaping this And as you fall unto the floor as you can no longer take the pain anymore and bash your fists into the ground with tears of despair flowing down you feel your final hope die away and so you let yourself and soul slip away making this your final day
