Numb

I’ve erased
Everything my eyes no longer see

Overwhelming
Smothering life out of my chest
This cancer that’s called hope
Is beginning to manifest

How many times
Have I turned to hope
Only to have it ripped from my grasp

I’ve been trapped in my mind for some time
And sometimes it’s hard to find the door
To escape
And I’ve erased
Everything my eyes no longer see

Hope is dead
It Creates nothing but pain
It always ends the same
It leaves her children burning

I can’t heal
Everything is dead
I can’t feel
I’m numb inside my head

The door I’ve opened
Does not allow
Me to return
To the place that I call home

Now show me the way out
Show me the way
Now show me the way out
So I can find my way back
To that place
Where life has meaning again

I’ve been trapped in my mind for some time
And sometimes it’s hard to find The door
To escape
And I’ve erased
Everything my eyes no longer see
