Not For Human Eyes

Another dream to show the way
Tell me what I’ll learn today
Bring me anger and some pain
Force me to play another game

Shimmering faith and stormy clouds
Deafening screams that are too loud
Diseasing minds within the crowds
I’ll make a day of what I’ve found

My plague is forcing me
My dreams are leading me
Pretend it can not be
This thing is not for me to see

Empty roads and empty minds
My empty heart will close the blinds
Boring oaths it’s all the same
I see a face, I see no name

My plague is forcing me
My dreams are leading me
Pretend it can not be
This thing is not for me to see

Just one more day of suffering
Another hour that hate will bring
One more second within my skin
I’ll drive me crazy from within

My plague is forcing me
My dreams are leading me
Pretend it can not be
This thing is not for me to see
It’s me against eternity
I’m writing for my sympathy
I’m dead and so is she
This thing is not for me to see
