The night's silence Drowned by screaming Where I should see darkness I see smiles and tears I'm so tired But I'm allowed no rest Just constant torture From the ghosts of the past My body may be still Yet my mind is running Days, months, years go by But my clock ticked only once My heart knocks on my chest To make sure I don't go Consciousness My prison

The night's silence Drowned by screaming Where I should see darkness I see smiles and tears I'm so tired But I'm allowed no rest Just constant torture From the ghosts of the past My body may be still Yet my mind is running Days, months, years go by But my clock ticked only once My heart knocks on my chest To make sure I don't go Consciousness My prison
