lyrics

hopes and dreams are thrown away
buried under years of pain
torn asunder by mistakes
as countless as the nights awake

staring at the barren white
blackened by the dark of night
mind tearing itself apart
screaming for thoughts to depart

desperate for a brief retreat
to the world that waits in sleep
I wish that I would never wake
to drift away to cold embrace

hoping to be trapped inside
the product of a purging mind
waking to despondency
the wretched day that waits for me

colossal chains, they hold me in
the heaviness of my burden
increases every rising sun
eventually I will succumb

and fail to meet that damning light
sinking slowly into night
abyss of darkness, swallow me
a welcome end to misery
