Sleepwalking shadows

Adamant decisions beyond my control

A firm grip that tightens

Around my mind, around my soul

Artificial veils are woven

A bitter taste, a putrid stench of fear

Once again, the grip it tightens

As I see myself fading away

Save me I am drowning

In this ocean, no emotions in me

I feel hollow and uncertain

I can’t see through the veil spun by needles

I am begging won’t you free me

because deep inside me

there is nothing where there once stood a mind

Imaginary friends still linger

Shadows from a pleasant past

I reach out my hand to touch them

just inches away from my grasp

Please just lead me home again

Please don’t let her fade away

Lay this weary mind to sleep

As the demon lingers in the deep

I can feel how my hands are shaking, caused by my abstinence



Spoken:

“I don’t recognize my own reflection, I don’t recognize my own actions, Hell – I don’t even recognize my own dreams anymore! This… medicated, drugged being it… it isn’t who I am!”



I can feel how my mind is breaking with every breath I take

Spoken:

“I won’t swallow anymore pills and I won’t let you come near me with those fucking needles again, you hear me?! I won’t! I want to remember! I want to fucking remember!”)

I can feel how my soul is fading, leaving behind an empty shell

I can feel how my heart is bleeding, knowing that it will soon be gone

I can sense my memories fading, leaving me in the bitter cold

I can feel how I am breaking as I let the pills go down

Please just lead me home again

Please don’t let her fade away

Lay this weary mind to sleep

As the demon lingers in the deep
