Every step I take in this world seems to sinknas if I'm sleepwalking and the light I see is fadingnto concede my defeat would be bliss to menmy vision begins to fade; a tunnel around my sightnthe future seems so improbablenif only I could run faster than these demonsnif only I could fly faster than these liesnnI keep closing my eyes hoping to dream and never returnnto slit my wrists and spill my bloodnwould sing the sweet song of oblivionnthese leeches that come to me at nightnthese sirens softly singing almost have me swimmingnthese phantoms that whisper to me;ntheir breath so cold, their voices so loudnnthe ties that bindnwould steal the breath from menthe ties that bindnbegging me to sleep yet I choose to livenand reject this demisenfor hope remains where there is lifennmy life, this day has almost claimed menyet tonight... tonight I am alivennall it would take is a word, a single loving word from younand I would have the strength to overcomenthe walls that I have built up against myself
