Requiem For My Dreams
Long have I slept
Its time to wake
Words not kept
And I've been very late
Tedious was my slumber
And empty my heart
Over lost hopes I ponder
Am I too late for a new start?
As my nerves come back to life
I feel in my heart this knife
Its sinking all the time
What has been my crime?
How have I been?
Left so far behind
I did nothing all this time
That was worthwhile
Maybe that has brought me
To the precipice of my revile
No longer my eyes
Have that sheen
I'm not half the man
I could have been
How long do I struggle?
With the same fight?
Have to wake up now
And change my plight
