Afterlife

Bleeding so painfully...I escape the light I try to forget the hardships...brewing in life But, it's too hard to live this life...this life Breathing so heavily...I fade away into the night I try to forget my past...it slits me like a knife But, it's too hard to live this life...this life Fight away the monster in my heart Throw away my sorrow...Take away my wretchedness Burn away the hideous rage...tearing me apart Take away the anger...renew my joyfulness Oh God...please forgive me... I long for Your cheerfulness... to set me free! Bleeding so dreadfully...I pray for delight I try to pray for mercy...for this pain is too much to bear But it's too hard to live this life...this life... Fighting back tears...I discover His light I try to pray for comfort...and I know He is there I pray for His wisdom...to scare away the strife And escape from the darkness I look forward to the afterlife When there's no sorrow or pain... When there's no manipulation...no evilness... no violence...no craftiness... Replayed...replayed... Someday...someday That time will come!
