I haven't been
In a long time
I have a dream
That now escapes me
Nothing
New
Nothing as all it ever was

Happy
I haven't been
In a long time
I had a dream
And everything I do
Is meant to take that dream
From memory

I've grown
By dying
I've grown to like the taste of poison
On my lips

I haven't been
Happy
In a long time
To the point
I start to doubt
That I ever really was

I've died
As a consequence of finding
That that's the only thing
Life really has to offer

I'm still alive

Only barely

But tomorrow does bring a new day
