Shadows of Ashes
Shadows of ashes
Touch my eyelashes
I stare up at an empty sun
Someone please give me a gun
All around an empty void
My hopes and dreams have been destroyed
Put the gun against my head
Make sure it's filled with lead
I lie awake this moonless night
And finally give up the fight
Pull the trigger, I go to bed
Now this painful life is dead
Then I wake up from my sleep
Still alive, I sit and weep
Though I do not make a sound
My faith has once again been found
I drag my corpse through the street
Never alive, I move my feet
This hateful world won't let me die
So faithfully, I chase a lie
Delusions fuel my will to thrive
Beyond the deep end I will dive.
