Sleep

I’ve come too far to be here again With one more coloured lie to dress up my shame Drifting out of time away from you all I’m holding onto pain as I let myself take the fall I’m burying myself and removing my friends Assassinating love and creating an end Speaking to a wall that’s painted with dreams I gather up my hate and turn the wall into screams When nothing left is real There’s nothing left to see I’ve nothing left to love I’ve given in to misery With fear at my door I stand all alone I either turn away or turn myself into stone Unable to react I seem to stop and stare But fear has taken what was left and I collapse within its care With nothing left to be Nobody else to use I close my eyes and whisper hate I’ve given in to self abuse I never had to breathe I never had to die I gave into the darkest places before I could deny My eyes will burn in sleepless visions and there’s nothing left to fight
