Restless
In caged drowning in my own grave, a tomb I'm alive, there's no escape.
Enslavement held captive bondage inside a body I hate. There's no running away, my shadow finds me somehow, someway.
Sometimes I can't remember my name because I don't recognize my face.
Reincarnated to live another day facing my mistakes, unable to live them down.
Damned in my face by the wrong decisions that I made, how can I make this pain go away.
This tortured soul has made its home and there's no way to get away.
In the dark is where I find peace, when I can finally sleep the pain away. Medicated, drugged Valium numbs the pain and a stiff drink drowns the demons away.
