As my pride begins to slip away
you gain power from my dismay
hatred for you in all of my being
doubting wondering dreaming screaming
im in a box with a lighted flame
holding my breath to take away the pain
I confided things in your ear
that no one else will ever hear
reminders of the past and a love to be undone
I longed for the day when we could be one
I am my own enemy my conscience is what I lack
I ease my eyes open praying for you to be back
maybe there is more that what is plain to see
maybe the problem has always been me
but not right now Ill wait for another day
as my immortality slowly slips away
an inspiration from a voice that I cannot hear
it is increasing now and taking away my fear
laughter of the dark and screams of the night
I was from a perfect world that threw me away last night
