richie dagger Jan 2011
i'm sitting here trying to piece together the puzzle of last night
There's the tapping of a hammer in my head

Tap    
Tap    
Tap...

Wooden splinters stuck in my knuckles
Encased in dried blood, last nights fossils
Bruised, bloodied, and damaged

Tap    
Tap    
Tap...

The hammer keeps pounding
The memories are still fleeting
Crumbling in the ashes

Tap    
Tap    
Tap...

A crash as a bottle breaks
Glass slicing through my palms
And everything else is black

Tap    
Tap    
Tap...

Regain consciousness with the sunrise
Look for my connection back to the world
With the hammer tapping in my head

Tap    
Tap    
Tap...

There's a dark figure on my wall
The silhouette of my fate
The shadow of a dead man
Only sights to which i can relate
Skeletons dance around my bed
Feeding the voices inside my head
Am i in hell, have i lost my mind?
Have i any sense of reality, any sense of time?
In the midnight sky the shadows consume me
These malignant thoughts take over slowly
Those hurtful words you spoke to me
Have torn me apart now i'm empty

I'm tired of this heartache
The burdens of the worlds
Bleeds through my veins
Everyday i hope for a change
But everything,
Everything stays the same

There's something i can see
But it's everything i can't seem
To face
From the flames of my hell
From the walls of my cell
To my eternal resting place

There's no joy
In my somber state of mind
I've lost all direction
I've run out of time

I'm falling down
I keep falling down
i search for help
There's no one around

It's come to me
I'll die alone
My life and my spirit
Drained from these bones

Fade out into the night
Guess i'm doing alright
My sanity's slipping away
Can't find a reason to stay
Traveling, going nowhere
I just don't really care
Did you ever care
I can't sleep at night
Up 'til the mornings light
Stay up the whole day
**** it all away
Escape for awhile
Done living in denial
Give it all away
Throw it all away

I look back on my life
I'm full of confusion
I stop and ask myself
Could this all be an illusion
Wandered through the world
Trying to find my home
I was always so lost
Always so alone
I wasn't happy
No matter where i went
Felt like my time
Here was spent
Since my birth
Since my conception
I've been struck down to my knees
Never pleaded for redemption

Now i sit here, I'm left
In the the dark
With a knife in my back
A hole in my heart
I'll continue to struggle
I'll continue to fight
I'll continue this battle
This war I call life

Falling through space
Falling faster and faster
Burst into flames
Burn forever
Angels have all fled the scene
Demons surrounding
Fire Walk With Me

Stick the needle into my eye
Inject me with your darkest fears
I see you when you start to cry
I die when you shed your tears

You told me what you wanted to be
All your pretty little dreams
Nothing hurts me more
Than hearing your ear piercing screams

I see a world of destruction
When I look into your face
You look down upon me
You stare with disgrace

Your words are ripping at my flesh
They're tearing me apart
I can't escape the searing pain
They're burning through my heart
