Morbid Life

I've been drowning in all these tears
Been so emotional lately
I've tried fighting my biggest fears
But nothing can save me
I've been slippin'
Closer to the edge, I've been driftin'
And I've been driftin'
Away from myself again
And I can't hold on anymore

Morbid Life
Screams at night
Should I awake from this dream
But this is my fate
I won't awake
I can't escape the reality
Of this morbid life

I've been wrestling with myself again
And my lack of self esteem
I've been trying so hard to forget
I don't mean anything
And I've been fallin'
Into this nightmare, I've been crawlin'
And I've been crawlin'
Away from my sanity
There's nothing left inside of me

Morbid Life
Screams at night
Should I awake from this dream
Please let me wake
I shant forsake
I can't escape the reality
Of this morbid life
