If I can't open up to myself,
then how can I be expected to relax with anyone else,
When the door shuts on my happiness and my sadness engulfs me,
The blindness of my sight carries me into misery, normality is no longer free,
...

Sleep tight my dear
Always let your dreams kept you astray,
For I will love you always
Then forever and a day
...

I wear my sadness around my neck like a noose,
Struggling against it, desperate to make it loose.
I wear my anxiety like a coat,
With the darkness stuck around my throat.
...

When life cascades down the staircase of dreams,
And and your caught in the web of capitalistic screams,
When what you thought was precious has moulded at the seams.
...

Fear the man who has nothing to lose or everything to gain
It's all just a concept where we play for the fame
Wrapped up all tangled in dreads of shame
As we adapt we'll all become one of the same
...

Death came to visit me in my dreams last night,
He told me to close my eyes and dream of eternal night.
He sang my hopes and all of my dreams,
And he stretched out his hand and took my self esteem.
