Laura Dee Poet Lyric

The Slow Death

by Laura

If i could make it back
The way I was before
If I could take it back
I wouldn't ask for more

I used to have a dream
I burned it to the ground
This pattern that I've seen
The failures that i've found

I'm scared to leave it all behind
The life that I may never know
I'm scared I've truly lost my mind
My smile now is just for show

I really want to give it up
Maybe this life is not for me
I used to have some self-esteem
But nowadays I cannot see

Flying blind at breakneck speeds
I miss that little, simple life
Before I knew the honest truth
Found in the edge of every knife

I'm tired now but I won't sleep
Salvation still, has yet to call
I'll leave my mind inside this place
With promises left on the walls

Promises...wasted promises on me...
