Beyond Myself

I cannot see beyond myself This pain is all I see Loneliness surrounds my hollow soul It will not set me free Hope has turned his back on me My dreams are long since gone My empty heart will beat no more My thoughts, my heartache's pawn Compassion will not look my way Encompassed by screams of sorrow Betrayed by my will to live I may not see tomorrow Regret becomes my only friend And an enemy my mind can't quiet Reminding me of mistakes I've made Though my heart will always deny it I cannot see beyond myself My eyes are filled grief I count the days before I die This is my only relief
