Dark Dream

The dwindling love of childhood days, you hardly just can count the ways
That you failed to please and never seemed to get it right
No matter what you chose to do, how hard you tried to bring it through
Right from the start you learned to lock your heart

Attached to precious tiny things, free-floating on your broken wings
You're bound to fall yet not afraid of what is to come
You felt so much, tried to explain but everything remained the same
Eventually when all words ceased, the anger put your soul on freeze

You keep running from that dark dream as long you can remember
All these times in pain you tried to escape in vain
You drown screaming in this dark dream with none to hold on to
Already way too deep to wake up from this endless sleep

You realize the bitter truth, endure its biting razor tooth
The seed being planted deep inside infected you so long
Unlike the ones that came before you won't hand down the strain no more
Once for all you break the chain, bring downfall to this brutal reign
Wipe out all with a purging flame

You keep running from that dark dream as long you can remember
All these times in pain you tried to escape in vain
You drown screaming in this dark dream with none to hold on to
Already way too deep to wake up from this endless sleep
