Steel piercing the skin

Sky on fire, electrified

War inside begins

Wrought with guilt, abandoning

Comrades lying still

Soulless eyes stare back at me

Broken, sick I feel

What of the dreams?

A haunting curse

Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse

Dead inside

Though I've tried, I know I am

A broken man

Suffering, suffering inside and shaking

I'm sweating at night

Just trying to find an answer

To feel comfortable with, what um

Like what did I witness?

Swaying, praying

Trying to escape

Laughing, crying

More than one can take

Haunting, taunting

Will not let me be

Hypnotizing

And not letting go of me

Stranglehold, dreams unfold

Helpless, can't break free

Memories, blood red sky

Rain down on me

Battle cry, war inside

Senseless tragedy

Shock and awe, numb and raw

Suffocating me

will this never end?

(Flashback) I'm unravelling

Misery can't break free

Wasted lives cast aside

What of the dreams?

A haunting curse

Toxic and bleak, I'm getting worse

Dead inside

Though I've tried, I know I am

A broken man

What of the dreams?

What can I learn? (What can I learn?)

Nor can erase, forever burn (forever burn)

What of the dreams?

Inflamed and torn (inflamed and torn)

And now I wish I had never been born (never been born)

All is lost, I've done all I can, I swear
