What's From Beneath
Unable to succeed in my dreams
A yearning of what I need to let go
Is impatiently dying to be freed
And spread it's wings
I feel as if there is someone else inside of me
Scratching it's way out while I bleed
Internally,profusely,spreading rapidly
Like a death wish disease
But I always make sure my dark past
And my mistakes are buried deep
Aching,and ever slowly breaking
And piece by piece taking
All of the nothing left I say
Is a lot of everything I don't really have
In denial--I believe I'm afraid
Of waking up tomorrow
Drowning in my deep blue sea of sorrows
Will somebody please get me awake?
'Cause I don't go to sleep to dream any longer
