Here I am, never alone
Don't stop to think, don't close your eyes
There he is, locked in the zone
Suffering, he should never know
A shroud of black, the darkened veil
My facade turns to dust, facing the night
Hurtful reality, a recent tale
Senses raw, and exposed, pain will rise,
Awakened by the shadows
Here I am, wrapped in the night
There he is, oblivious
Self constructed false reality
Don't wake me from my dream
Self serving schizophrenic personality
Please don't wake him from his dream
A shroud of black, the darkened veil, strips my cowardice
My facade turns to dust in the face of the night
Hurtful truths, I've been gone, kidnapped consciousness
Senses raw, and exposed, pain will rise,
Awakened by the shadows
Here we are, sweat on our brow, tears on the floor
Submitting to the past, merging him and 'I'
Self destructive ignorance
Please don't wake us from our lie
Something inside withholds from me
Something outside exposes me
Wake me up and show me
Safe, until the next time
