Dreaming of Death

Death is like a dream Hope that keeps me wishin I know I'm not going to heaven I've done too much sining Stars hanging in the sky Like cherries I can pick Teaching me a lesson Somethings are impossible to reach What's the point of livin When the world keeps takin Maybe it's what I deserve I'm just getting reciprocated Serving time for my crime A cage in my own mind I won't attempt to break free Searching for the sanity I left behind These creepies and crawlies I've relocated to my head Are reluctant to the living My words could wake the dead Corrupted by another's humility I've misplaced my pride and dignity Heart and soul were already in doubt Voices in my head are begging to shout! Lightening and thunder Gushing over the hills Spilling fake sanity In a castle of my fears But as many things I do To fortify these forget me nots My brain will deteriorate And my foundation will rot Folds are falling apart at the seems I can't run from this nightmare Even out of my dreams Thinking exactly of what you mean to me, nothing is or ever will be as it seems Pulling shards of glass Out of my bleeding feet Every step that I take The pain is too good for me Tops of frothing waves Reaching an equitable crest The only thing I hope and pray for Is my untimely death Seems to be, what is fair Lungs fill with everything, except for air Waves are tactfully dragging me under Fragments of my mind crack and crumble Drown the voices, speaking through clenched teeth As much as I dream, death may be too good for a coward like me
