In just one breath   Your dreams will fade   A moment in time   For fear to embrace      The future... is my enemy   Long days.... and endless nights      Pain awakes my sleep   And ends in a silent barrage of calm      Look at me though jaded eyes   Forever see the mask I wear   Never feel pity for me   It's the way my life lives      Beaten by the only life I know   Forced upon the spirit seed   I only wish I had the strength   To say goodbye      At what time did you turn your back?   I pay for this with every breath   And all you do is preach through man   Of how merciful you can be      Then you shall not fail   For every time you close your eyes   I'll be there to greet you
