Can I give in?
Can I say it's too much?
Can I hide from the world,
And find somewhere to run?

Can I forget
Why I'm too tired to be,
And just give in
To the sleep that calls me?

My world is crashing down so slowly
And I've forgotten who I am.
I just watch the pieces crumble eternally,
Wondering when it all will end.

Where is the strength
I once found I had?
Where is the beauty
I once saw in the land?

Why can't I forget
All that used to be,
And just give in
To the sleep that calls me?

My world is crashing down so slowly
And I can't find truth, or love, or beauty.
So I watch the pieces crumble forever
Wondering what has happened, to make it fall apart.

The life I once had, has all but left me.
The dreams I once cherished, have crumbled to ash.
So as I wait for the future, I just want to surrender;
Find a place I can rest
And somewhere to run.
