Settle into my ways with no escape
Feel the tension build
A cruel world and a crueler fate
I'm am empty I am filled
Shadows fade in the morning light
A darkness still remains
A beacon of hope is in my sight
This feeling it stays the same
Take it back, I'll give it all
How can I go on who will catch me when I fall
I've had enough, to get my fill
Too much surrounding me nothing will hold still
An empty bottle a burning cigarette
Is this all I am
The tension is there it's my regret
My body my mind be damned
Forget the troubles and leave the pain
Nothing now is here
A forgotten moment I have gained
Let the world now disappear
