Consumes me. I'm utterly alone.
I look down this road of bitter frustration and wonder:
Is this where all my dreams have flown?
You've dug yourself this grave and now
You ask how you could've gotten this deep.
Such a similar story has been told of me,
Clouded with the promises I just couldn't keep.
The nights have been long
And the days have been dreary.
My mind is troubled with the pain you've caused,
My body is weak and weary.
But I must push that aside,
Laugh it off, pretend the world is mine.
The answer is so close I fear it.
Ignore it and I'll be fine.
My breath escapes me as all my troubles,
Whirling within the winds.
This dreamy facade I've built for myself
Has covered all my sins.
But really they're just lurking,
Waiting to attack once more.
This vision I love will save my life,
Yet take it, this dream that I adore.
