For too long, I lay silently contemplating

"Stay your tongue" is what I'm told

Time and time again...

I grow tired, and wait for sleep that never comes

Left to drown in muddied seas

It's been this way for ages now.



Endless nights bring heavy eyes, I know

A pounding head and a bleeding heart, I know

Too far away to run

Any dreams I may have had come screeching to a halt.



I need salvation. 

Cleanse the wound so that I may live again

Wait for tomorrow.

And hope it's brighter than it was today.



Foolish cries from a foolish man

I now realize my hopes are in vain

Once again you come to me in dreams

I cannot stop you.

Now inside...now inside, penetrating

I can clearly see that I am dead



As tears fill my eyes, I look to the sky

Raising my hand I call silence.



In visions I see what might have been

But yesterday's gone.

To hope for tomorrow and what it may bring

And leave it behind.
