How Much Longer.

Folder: 
Songs

In your shadow land

the night is way to dark,

need a helping hand

but pride makes it all to hard.

But you can't really see

to the world your completely blind,

at the light at the end

this is what you'll find.



Escape,

close your eyes and fade away,

i'ts a mistake,

you've fallen so far,

to much pain.

Never bothered to feel,

just pushed it all away,

till the feelings never came.



How much longer,

thats what I need to know,

I can not take it,

you say you care but I don't really know.

How much longer,

'till you finally see,

that finally,afterall

the antagonist wasn't me.



Heartache,

is all i'm feeling,

relize,that it's both your life

and mine that your stealing.

And I will not wait for all time,

for someone content

in living a lie.



Pretend that your happy,

thats all it will take,

for you just to see

how much longer i'll wait.

But when your alone,

you'll relize I was right,

But by then i'll be gone

you'll have lost your own fight.



Either way you'll have lost,

there's nothing to do,

there's to many things,

that you've put yourself through.

You've ruined yourself

what was left of your soul,

all for a false-image

of some real self control,

and now your alone.
