The memories tear; they rip; they kill a part of me.
I want to sleep forever, to join you in the swamps.
Somebody set me free from this cage!
I scream, I scratch, I bleed and I die, only inside.
I want to cry.
Somebody hold me down in comfort and hope.
Don't let the nightmares of my past get me.
Suck me under; roll me; eat me alive; destroy me.
Kill what little light I have left inside.
I don't want my memories to hurt me anymore.
But life is pain, and my soul is dying in his name.
