lyrics

The burdens of this life are heavy.
They crush the strongest of men.
The weight bears down, incapacitating all after a time.
There comes a point where you feel you can't bear
it for another moment.
You will lose everything.
x2
Again, and again.
Daydreaming of something to quench my appetite.
Go to sleep feeling hopeless and you will dream that
you never ever wake up.
STEPHEN MASHBURN:
I fall asleep for a time
Michael:
For a time
STEPHEN MASHBURN:
Happiness is plentiful in a place where you're
still with me.
my mind creates a flourishing landscape laden with
beautiful company.
Michael:
I am happy for a time.
I am happy, for a time.
Until I awake.
It's alright, we all go a little mad sometimes.
An awful act my mind constantly prompts me to do
An impulse, a twitch - a pulse that's always
throbbing through.
I'd be lucky to die, but I refuse.
And so I succumb to a coma.
Entirely bereft of dreams.
Robbed of the only pitiful form of escape I
have ever had.
My only company is the incessant beeping
of the machines.
I don't know who could have possibly found me
But there is someone, or something that can't be seen.
Life, like all things, is meaningless.
No longer alone - just hopeless.
This is what it means to be defeated.
All stores, once in surplus, now depleted.
Go to sleep
Wake up
Live life.
We are hopeless.
And such is the reason why
I will stay asleep.
