life-a broken dream-abysmal path that's far too much to tolerate
it set me up and took me down
annulled a joy I could not consummate
is it my responsibility to choke back tears while others show their pain
even though each night within my dreams
visions come that drive my mind insane

enemies that I can see-in my bed-sleep next to me
say goodbye to the best of my life as I endure the horror alone

life-a promise gone-behind a mask-it hides and waits my final gasp
opened wounds from closing minds
seek to crush me dead within their grasp
and is it not an act of blasphemy to wear a smile when inside I just cry
knowing that each night deep in my dreams
I'll search for ways to just fall down and die

enemies I cannot see-sneak behind to torture me
say hello to the worst of my life as I endure the horror alone

life-ending now-I won't go back-I see what I must do
resurrect me someday
a better chance if life can start anew
for I don't see a possibility to end this low and come back from the fall
certainly this night I will not dream
tomorrow I will not wake up at all

enemies can smile and see-that they have defeated me
say goodbye at the end of my life as I endure the horror no more
