The Beauty

I've been thinking too much

I've carried this burden for far too long

Is there any relief from this hell I've built

Is there any beauty to this storm

I can feel me crumble

I feel me fade away each time

but I hold tightly to this this anguish

for I feel safe inside its arms

This wounds, self inflicted

obtained by running to the past

Oh, lord I have seen the beauty

But the beauty never last

So I lay alone

Lay alone in these sheets

My mind vacant of the beauty

plagued by my heroin dreams

But I can overcome this

All I need is one more day

How I long to see the beauty

Rid my body of the pain

But I can feel the hunger

Weigh on the heels of my escape

This does not seem to falter

No I cannot seem to break

No I cannot seem to break.
