Hysteria

The streets are calling my name, I try to turn away

This bottle is taunting me, determined to bring the shame.

My hand runs down my face, nails dragging and leaving marks

I can't find myself through the thickness of the dark.



I don't want to hear the words everybodies been saying

I've had so much of this lately, this diabolical heartache.

I try to handle it well, but once again, I do something stupid

The choices I make have no honor, I no longer have anything to prove.



My finger tips run over the scars, each person I love has left one

Somehow, I'm stuck within this fog. I still can't even see the sun ---

I want nothing more then to trust, maybe for once, try to love,

But, nothing's worth the fight... and I've pretty much given up.



The screaming, the abuse... I no longer know what the hell to do

If I run, I leave behind everything. I can't even fucking move.

If I stay here, try to deal... I'll lose any sanity I have left

I can't help but cry, sometimes. Any miracles would be a godsent.



Maybe I'll ask God nicer, ask for the tinest shred of light

Just so I know I have the will to carry on in this fucking life.

Violently wipping my eyes, I can't stand the way I live anymore

Like a hysteria thats struck the earth, I'm just as lost as before.
