Too Broken To Sleep
Just take my hand and walk with me
You know I’m too broken to fall asleep
With all of these memories haunting my dreams
My mind is constantly plagued by the screams
They echo through my ears until they ring
I search for silence, and that’s all it brings
It’s only the memories while they’re replaying
My soul is broken, it constantly stings
The heroin used to help with these things
I’m fried and I’m dying, so walk with me
You know I’m too broken to ever be free
The devil and demons just won’t let me be
I know this is all too hard for you to see
When I explain, they call me crazy
Then all I do during the day is just sleep
The night is when my mind wanders freely
This pen is the only one who understands me
And it doesn’t judge me for just being me
I guess the depression and my anxiety
Could be my demise, if so, let it be
But until then, just please walk with me
If you don’t want to, we don’t have to speak
Just take my hand and walk with me
You know I’m too broken to fall asleep
Everyone knows life is temporary
Either I’ll beat this, or I’ll die fighting
Just take my hand, and my apologies.
