Slipping Away

Here comes the night again
I can’t see, I can’t hear
I’m praying for the dawn
Because I’m drowning in my fear
I’m running from the memories
And hiding from the pain
But the moonbeams always pick me out
I’m trapped in their terrain
My shadow has been stolen
My reflection hides her face
I’m not sure where I am going
But I have to leave this place

I’m slipping away
No one can save me
I’m seeking the day
Where they can’t hurt me
I’m running away
No one can help me now
The night is here to stay

Tonight I’ll leave me safehouse
To find my sanctuary
A painless, numb existence
The bittersweet of apathy
The cutting words won’t pierce me
My wrist won’t have to bleed
The rotting corpse that was my soul
Will satisfy the maggots’ greed
The emptiness inside me
Is devouring silent rage
The screams of terror in my mind
Have turned to dust with age

I’m slipping away
No one wants me
I’m seeking the day
To find my safety
I’m running away
No one can touch me now
The night is here to stay

I’m slipping away…
