my rusty skin
wearing thin
washed out
without light
losing all
the will to fight
fading black
softly shaking
in the night
I'll never let you know
that I let go
that I gave up
you wished me luck
and tucked
me into sleep
with my disease
your falling for me
as I fall to my knees
caught in my nightmares
while your dreaming dreams
what you see
isnt what it seems
caught up in the ropes
it was too long ago
that I lost my hope
you planted a kiss
to the fake smile
upon my tired lips
I'll never let you know
that I let go
I'll never let you see
all the dirt in me
let you quietly keep
dreaming in your sleep
as I slip farther away
into the light of day
I've given up long ago
but I'll never let you know
