My mind grows tired
My body weak
Just wanna close my eyes
And never open them again
eternal sleep
But I wont rest
That's a feat I can't acheive
Cause my soul is torn
Lost in translation
Started since my day one born
I've searched for answers
But uncovered more questions
Thought I could teach
But Im still learning lessons
This is my confession
I'm not Usher
But I must say
I've gotten older wiser
I can admit I'm afraid
I'm scared
Frightened that my soul will grow old
Alone
Because I've seen heard and felt love
But in my grasp it won't stay
Maybe I'm cursed
with the burden of lonliness
Trapped in my own hell of sorrow
Single tear drop falls as my soul
Fades away...
