Sleep

My life feels empty
There's nothing here
And I'm left behind
With all this fear

Fear for the future
Fear for right now
When I'm alone
I keep asking, "How?"

I dig myself deeper
And hurt myself more
As I remember the days
That all came before

I lie and I lie
My life is now such
I wear a fake mask
To cover this much

This all makes me tired
It makes my soul weak
And so I go to sleep
To leave a life so bleak

My dreams hide me
From what might come to light
Because I'm too scared
To wish life goodnight

I don't want to wake up
I don't want to see day
I just want to forget
And sleep as I lay
