Here once more.

Another sleepless night.

Another restless mind.

Another tired day.



Tired of the sunlight in the morning,

Tired of watching the moon every night.



Staring out into the blackness of the night,

Staring into the pit of space above.



Stars shining down,

The only glimpses of hope,

For a life wrecked by lies,

Wrecked by pain,

Wrecked by me.



Unsure of anything,

Constantly battling myself.

Back and forth,

Never decide on anything,

Can never like anyone.



Too demanding,

I always expect too much.

Let the littlest things ruing it all.



Yet this is me,

The man I am.

But not who I want to be.



Another night,

Waiting for the first break of day.



My bloodshot eyes,

And bloodied walls.

The punches before my fall.



Put on the veil of happiness,

The fake smile,

The happy lies.



Don't let them see in.

See the torment.

The shit I get myself into.



Why the fuck did I think I needed any of this.

Regret everything the moment it happens.



Here I am,

Another sleepless night,

For another stupid mistake.



Wish I could run away,

Start over again.

Forget everything,

Reinvent myself.



Instead the past is always following me,

And I give right in.



Permanently following me,

A cancer on my life.



My pain,

My lies,

Looming in the dark sky above.



Another perfect night,

The cold clear night.

For a perfect escape.



Run away,

Down the road,

Lines blur away.

Till I am one with the black pavement,

One with the dark sky,

One with the night.



Forever trying to escape,

Yet it always pulls me back.



My life is the rope around my neck.

I can't seem to cut it off.



Yet the knife is in my hand,

But can't break the bonds.



Instead it’s pointed at my heart.

Destroy my dark soul,

Break free from the torment,

Break free from the lies.



I can never bring myself to do it.



Can never do anything to change me,

I can never do anything at all.



Useless,

All I truly am,

Yet no one seems to see it.



Perhaps the lies hide it so well.



And here I sit.

One more night.



Another sleepless night,

Another night of pain,

Another night of mistakes,

Another night of lies.



Till the first light of morning comes,

And illuminates the body,

Blood below him,

The knife on the floor.
