Hold me down Chains that bind me, as they scream murder What have I done? Mortified I can't see the blood Something seems wrong I know their faces, they burn They haunt me from within In a distant dream, I was set free I wanted to save them I can see the eyes of the children I can feel the pain rushing back As if I was there Nothing separates this dream from reality Beyond my own confused volition Slave to my own vision How could it be I haven't woken up? A year passes in a second But it still feels endless The ending with no beginning is what will destroy me Yet I sit in silence Floating in a void Weightless And timeless How could it be? I haven't given up Searching Always coming up empty Feeling consciousness betray me Reaching Always touching nothing Sleeping doesn't make it better Losing everything I've known Losing everything I've been Losing everything I've done Come to life inside my head I lie awake
