Trench

Watching shadows cover dimly lit walls Distant voices fill these vacant halls Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head Feels like I'm hanging by a single thread What if I'm lying awake Screaming and calling your name Burned out but can't fall asleep Please don't forget about me My doubts come rushing like a tidal wave Do I even have a soul to save Fear like the wind blowing through the trees I've held so tightly to these memories What if I'm lying awake Screaming and calling your name Burned out but can't fall asleep Please don't forget about me It pulls me by the hand Drags me to the ledge Grabs me by the neck Holds me over the edge My face is full of fleeting sympathies My pride is crushed under the weight My body plunges into pitch black My lungs cave in, I exhale my disbelief I let myself slip into a dream Perfectly free I let myself slip into a dream Perfectly free Close my eyes and pull the sheet over my head Feels like I'm hanging by a single thread I feel myself being swallowed whole I'm finally letting go of all control What if I'm lying awake Screaming and calling your name Burned out but can't fall asleep Please don't forget about me Spending my nights watching shadows Dark fingers of a nightmare Crawling out from the unknown I won't confide with despair
