Bloodshot eyes awaken from uneasy slumber
Limbs all white and stiff, slowly coming to life
Sheets are drenched in sweat from nightly terrors
Joylessly a new dawn is welcomed
The day is wasted on the rituals without meaning
As night descends the dreams return -
- To fill my bed again
Bloodshot eyes awaken from a restless slumber
Skin is white and cold, heart barely beats
Escaping slowly from drowsy realms of horror
Reluctant to awake yet terrified to sleep
Weep for me
Weep for what I have done
Cry like the cryers of ancient times
Weep for me
Weep for what I have done
There's no hope in hell it can ever -
- Be undone
Going through the motions
Keep the madness at bay
Blocking all emotions
For fear they'll wash my soul away
Behind me the past comes clawing through
The veils of guilt and supression I draped -
- Around you
My memory is obscured by clouds of time
I ask myself a painful question, would I still -
- Recognize... my son
Running from what's coming
At least in my dreams I can run
Hiding from the blackness
That engulfs my room, my bed, my lungs
Behind me the past comes clawing through
The years of grief and depression I suffered -
- For you
My memory, little pieces still remain
I make myself a painful promise -
- To visit your grave - my son...
