Holding On No More

Now the stage been set 
Dry tears have been wept
Lost souls have slept 
Dark shadows are casted

You been trying to achieve 
But your heart cannot believe 
Is it a dream within a dream?
I've heard your screams...

You're trapped in your room
Tears fleeing your eyes
Holding your father as he dies 
The world ignores you 

Tainted blood never tasted greater
Than a longing day of droughts 
Whispers slipped out their mouths
Our souls have digested them

In the meantime 
I'm alone in this cemetery 
Living as a distant memory 
Never seen from or heard from
Ever again
