Sleepless Dreams

Within the waking madness
Inside the place where nothing makes sense
Searching for truth within my lies
I try
In the wind of whispers, I fly
Can't die
The world laughs
I writhe
Tied.
Bleeding from my eyes
All the things I think I see
All of them attacking me
All of it released and set free
Running through my memories
A million shards
Leaving a thousand scars
Blades and bullets
Taking the pain a bit too far
I watch myself
As I walk out the door
I see myself crawling 'cross the floor
I hear myself wishing I could stand once more
I touch the smile on my lips
And taste the sadness of my soul
I feel the Fates deny me
And I lack the self-control
Poison painting a masterpiece
Under stormy skies
That roll a bit too slow
But life won't let me catch up
And the dolour's in control
A stage without a show
The curtain on the dole
Not too far left to go
