Alone With Myself

A whisper falls into the night

close your eyes

waiting for me to sleep

find me in your dreams

 

So cold and silent

I'll be there

waiting for the warmth of slumber

* just a little closer*

 

Hallucinating reality

this is always the beginning

It's like another life

right now it's real

 

I can't feel my skin

here I am

but I can still feel

control me or I'll control you

 

I feel fear

* you are slipping*

I feel sadness

* you want to let go*

I feel resentment

know what you hold on to

 

* I am the voice inside your head*

* the voice you think with*

* I am the loudest cry no one will hear*

* you control me*

* but the fear I speak of controls you*

 

I want to take courage

and have it become me

so I take bravery

to resolve this insanity

in my dreams

 

The one place I should have control

* I can help you*

where the days and nights are endless

if you let me

if I wish for them to be

 

Speak for me

as I speak to you

*your true words

as I am a part of you

who is me

I'm going to explore my mind

to feel who I am

and there I will find

the place I stand
