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
