Sleep Day in and day out Thats all I do To get away from the pain And to get away from the world When my eyes are closed is when I can escape Escape to the eternal darkness locked inside my head Yet I never dream They're only nightmares Awaking me in sweat and screaming to let out my fears You all told me I was strong To go through all this and pull through You promised that the worst part was over I can only rise For I've fallen beyond repair Yet my life is turning colder This young girl you used to see is now numb to laughter To smiles or even tears Numb to everything inside of her Even the things she could never share You've always looked to me for advice Yet there's no more here to give I've turned to sex and alcohol to turn me away From the pain etched in my forearms Please now, feed me some drugs For theres nowhere better to turn.Birth sign: Scorpio
