Wake No More

Wake no more!​

Can’t fight the virus,
Spreadin' in my brain.
Can’t cage the beast,
Drivin' me insane.
Hellish storms within me,
Rivers of blood are my eye’s veins...

The demons inside me,
Are having their fun.
I'm shoved to the corner,
With nowhere to run,
While fingers claw at my skull,
Could be theirs, could be mine, I’m done...

Savage night remains,
Delights in disease.
Retching in the shadows,
I drop to my knees,
And shiver in the acid rain.
It’s got a hold, help please...

I know you? (Go away.)
Talking to me? (Got nothing to say.)
Where am I? (What’s today?)
Who’s asking? (I’m okay.)
Everything’s fine. (What’s today?)
What’re you asking? (Who’s to say?)
Think I’m alive? (Another day.)
Gotta go. (Can’t stay.)

Wake no more!
Wake no more!
Wake no more!

Flowing information,
Feeds poison streams.
Media, law, detachment,
What the hell do I mean?
Time to take my place,
Social misfit better left unseen...
 
Kicked to the curb.
Not that it matters.
Mob-rule desire,
Humanity shattered.
Flushed down a sewer,
Veil of truth ripped in tatters...
 
Confusion from unknowing,
My time is well past late.
Freedom-deficient life,
Determined my fate.
Hope they place me gently.
Beneath a cold, granite slate...

Wake no more!
Wake no more!
Wake no more!

Wake no more!
