Please tell me my Lord
if I have something to live for,
oh help me dear God
my sanity pertains but my hope thaws

hello there silence
you old friend,
you make me seek reflection
when happiness is at end

but I'm afraid my vision's blurred
I can no longer fight
the strength I was proud of is gone
images of the future erased forever from my sight

I've ran my body through the mechanical grinder
that is this thing we call life
now here I sat upon my throne of despair
surrounded by shattered thoughts and empty strife

too many times did you puncture
the throbbing ***** that is my heart
if this is the nearest I'll get to heaven
then I guess I'd rather be dead from the start

I'm not living but surviving
disillusioned by what everything seems
so please please dear God, tonight when I sleep,
allow me to escape to the world that exists only in my dreams.
