I was Dreaming

 I was Dreaming

You don’t know what it’s like

To be a prisoner in your own mind

But dreaming, I was dreaming 

I’ll die and it will all end. 

That’s okay

I want to be empty

Free of myself

And my memories

But that won’t happen

We are stuck in ourselves 

All I can do is hide

Those darker parts of me

I want to cry

I want to die

It’s too hard to try

And escape my life

You don’t know what it’s like

To be a prisoner in your own mind

But dreaming, I was dreaming 

I’ll die and it will all end. 

Let it be

I want to feel nothing

Instead of this

Constant dread I feel 

That has singed soul 

We are bound to our path

No matter the bright end 

Darkness is behind me

Oh how I try

And question why

In the by and by 

Why is there this strife 

You don’t know what it’s like

To be a prisoner in your own mind

But dreaming, I was dreaming 

I’ll die and it will all end. 

So goodbye. 

I wake up and I cry

Surely that was just

A nightmare but I

Remember the past

My retched past

Let me dream and die 

It’s less painful than this. 

You don’t know what it’s like

To be a prisoner in your own mind

But dreaming, I was dreaming 

I’ll die and it will all end. 

So will I
