Hatching the Dead
Hatching the Dead
Blocking out unopened space this prison in my head
Crawling all up inside of me laying eggs to hatch the dead
The silent stillness reminding me that I must be all alone
An inferno burns inside where only the Devil feels at home
No safety signs flash warnings, stop this bleeding in my mind
Relaxing is just a broken dream my nightmares can never find
Don't say things will get better, false hope only breeds hate
Learn to accept suffering instead of fist fighting your own fate
With these lessons the student fails, their are no passing grades
Don't watch, think about, or remember me, my impression always fades
Just in case you were wondering I'm not scared but I am afraid
Dead gone the exhausted me, living with death in different shades
