And Then You Die

by End Of Eternity   Jun 24, 2008


Drinking till it shakes my knees
Injecting just to feel deep in me
Dreams are not worth a penny
Here in this house of misery

Empty eyes staring back at me
With stories to raise the dead
Thoughts waiting to be set free
Deep inside this hollow head

Living in walls behind skies end
Exhaling clouds as you burn below
Surrounded by broken mirrors
Reflecting my life's echoes

Will my shadow hold these tears
With elegance as I cry
Your picture ever return my kiss
Just before hope's dream dies
