Carrying On

There’s a hemorrhage of thoughts and memories killing me each day Why won’t you just leave me alone so that maybe I could live today? Not a day passes by when you’re not on my mind How can I carry on when you’re stealing all my time? I lie awake trying to sleep but you keep coming up to me Every time I close my eyes I know you’re the only thing I’ll see Why can’t the memories leave just like you left me? It’s driving me insane each and every day They’re causing me such pain causing such dismay I wish that they would leave That my mind would be mine again Images of you keep dancing in my head They taunt me They haunt me They make me think of death It’s burning in my blood angering me as time goes on I’m angry at the world most of all myself for letting it get to me A virus in my head killing all that’s good A disease in my brain leaving me ashamed I am alone
