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
