No familiar faces

Bad dreams haunting every street, behind closed eyes
Whiling away the hours in fear, sadness and jealousy
Broken and battered by the maniacal winds
Washed away by the crimson, tainted sea

I'm me, can't you see this is all I am now
A failure and a disappointment, I can't make you proud
I tried and I fell, spiraling into the depths of darkness
I've come home, yet you can't hear my knocking, however loud

Shivering underneath my failing mask, losing faith
Strength eludes me, all I am is a mutilation
Do you not hear my cries, my shouts and screams
Shattered dreams following my rushed anticipation

I buried my feelings in a midnight box long ago
Covered them in dirt, so I could no longer feel
Hammered into my memory is the failures and distress
Cuts streaming along my body, like fire, so fake yet real

Steam pours from the steam train travelling so fast
Smashing, like an iron fist, into my cotton coated fantasy
Living a lie and floating upon a long lost song
Tapping the rhythm on a broken bottle, another melody

Tears stained with joy and hatred, a cruel mix
Shadows overcome the deepest hiding places
Found in a deserted station, cannot escape anymore
Having forgotten happiness, no familiar faces
