In just one breath Your dreams will fade A moment in time For fear to embrace The future... is my enemy Long days.... and endless nights Pain awakes my sleep And ends in a silent barrage of calm Look at me though jaded eyes Forever see the mask I wear Never feel pity for me It's the way my life lives Beaten by the only life I know Forced upon the spirit seed I only wish I had the strength To say goodbye At what time did you turn your back? I pay for this with every breath And all you do is preach through man Of how merciful you can be Then you shall not fail For every time you close your eyes I'll be there to greet you
