Lately it's been so
I don't know
So many voices
Too many choices

Battles being fought
Sitting on a corner
Battles of thought
Nobody sees her

Internal vs external
Which is which
A raging inferno
With no off switch

It used to burn
But dull is the hurt
Now it is a custom
Growing accustom

What is pure
Cannot endure
It must grow black
What once was a mansion
Now a shack
Don't even mention
Turning back

Can't go back
Can't go on
So where does that leave us
In the black
Before dawn

Ashes and dust
Return we must
How soon how soon
By the next full moon

Sleep peaceful sleep
Is what we all need
We can't get there
In this miserable nowhere

Sleep sleep
Come to me
Let me breathe
Finally
