The Slow Death

by Laura If i could make it back The way I was before If I could take it back I wouldn't ask for more I used to have a dream I burned it to the ground This pattern that I've seen The failures that i've found I'm scared to leave it all behind The life that I may never know I'm scared I've truly lost my mind My smile now is just for show I really want to give it up Maybe this life is not for me I used to have some self-esteem But nowadays I cannot see Flying blind at breakneck speeds I miss that little, simple life Before I knew the honest truth Found in the edge of every knife I'm tired now but I won't sleep Salvation still, has yet to call I'll leave my mind inside this place With promises left on the walls Promises...wasted promises on me...
