This life is a nightmare
That refuses to go away
Desperation overwhelms
Principle begins to decay

Alone I sit
Gazing into the sky
Wondering if there is something better
But I only wonder why

Why does He do this?
What did I ever do?
I gave him everything I had
And all that I knew

My hands start to shake
I feel the storms begin to come
I close my eyes, not ready
And fear for what I will become

Hope becomes a fairy tale
A box left on the shelf
Forgotten in a dead world
A world dead only to myself

The storms are coming closer
Fear begins to take its toll
I want to run away
But I’m surrounded by a big, black hole

All I can do is stand there
And take the storm coming my way
I wish I was anywhere but here
But my world is turning grey

Life for me is a nightmare
That refuses to go away
Nothing can be done
For this is the world I must stay
