Desperately clinging to this dream
Fading into the shadows as I cling
Carefully hiding every pain
Now, only this empty shell remains.
Holding on in vain, hoping once more
Retaining the only thing that helps me ignore
The feelings existing inside of my soul
The one thing that the world stole.
I look into my own eyes and see a mask
What conceals my pain and my own personal wrath
Self destructive I have heard again and again
Tis the only thing that keeps me sane.
I tried not to let it seep down inside
No matter the tears, it would not subside
I trusted that I would one day be free
But these memories will forever haunt me.
