Sometimes I wish that I could break
Because my soul is constantly screaming to escape
Every moment that I'm not awake
Nightmares assure me that sorrow is my fate
My life is consumed by shattered smiles
And the laughter inside dies away as well
So often, I fall away from the world
Into the bottomless pit of an endless hell
I pray the ache will cease to rupture my spirit
And I'll no longer hide in these hollow lies
Dusted, ragged drapes covering a continuous shiver
As I watch the previous me never held down by these echoing cries
I pray that God carry me far away
And end this hurt that haunts my soul
Bring me back to my perfect setting
When the world was beautiful and my heart was whole
Because my soul is constantly screaming to escape
Every moment that I'm not awake
Nightmares assure me that sorrow is my fate
My life is consumed by shattered smiles
And the laughter inside dies away as well
So often, I fall away from the world
Into the bottomless pit of an endless hell
I pray the ache will cease to rupture my spirit
And I'll no longer hide in these hollow lies
Dusted, ragged drapes covering a continuous shiver
As I watch the previous me never held down by these echoing cries
I pray that God carry me far away
And end this hurt that haunts my soul
Bring me back to my perfect setting
When the world was beautiful and my heart was whole
