lay awake
in the relentless dark
praying to a god
i gave up on years ago
i'm plauged by
a thousand thoughts
that grabbed me
and won't let go
tormented by
doubts
that hide away in light
lost in my
fantasies
where everything is finally right
i've got a small
problem here
one i can't handle
on my own
well that's too damn bad
cause right now i'm alone
toss and turn
hope for sleep
an escape from reality
things i forgot
what i screwed up
won't let me be
i just want to screa
out all the injustices
that burden me
but my voice has suddenly failed
dear god can'tyou see
what your harsh world
has done to me?
