my soul is dead

by jim aries - Not entered

my soul is dead
my heart has bled

the picture on the wall
has no meaning to me at all

a reason I try to fimd
i look deep into my unconscious mind

is it our beliefs that make us cry
do we really die

there are no words in this book
i open my eyes, but I cannot look

a reason, any reason at all
who is in the picture on the wall

i hear a song, but it's not playing
the words in the book, what are they saying

i do not sleep, but i have these dreams
these thoughts again and again it seems

i am too confused to say
why i feel this way

the storm passed by without rain
i guess it's all the same

without reason i begin to scream
will i wake up from this dream

i walk, but i go nowhere
i reach, but it's not there

i visit a place i think is here
but it's imaginary too i fear

why is the sun red
is it angry or is it dead

nothing i do pleases
i'm sacrificed by jesus

it's not raining, the trees are still
the air is calm, but it's not real

empty-minded, thoughts of nothing
there's got to be something

a whisper in the wind
is my only friend

if i could find my peace of mind
i would do just fine

i wish i could explain to the common man
but no one can understand

my will to be
has just left me

my thoughts know everything
remember nothing

it is hard i find
to look into the unconscious mind

then the thoughts go blank
am i now awake?
