VANISH

Fear consumes me blindly I feel death

Why should I care I got nothing left

Didn't see it coming I hit the ground choking for air

My surroundings begin to disappear

I look to God for help but all I hear is a laugh

Its too late Hes taken away the last breath I have

Suddenly I awake in a cold sweat

Given a chance to be reborn and see whats next

I look around and think is there really a purpose

An earie feeling begins to re-surface

Could it be the ghost of my past that constantly remind me

I try to hide from them but they always seem to find me

I wear a smile but ya'll don't see me at my worst

I strive for what I'll never become like an unquenchable thirst

I can appear a bit passing

Like a pit bull before attacking

Tempted to take someones life or maybe my own

The devil can take my life but only God can take my soul

The sun rises and rain falls

The spirits of the dead roam the empty halls

Trying to find solitude in what they left behind

An undying peace they'll never find

I lie awake at night waiting for the demons to scratch at my door

Fuck it I'm screaming come get me I can't take it anymore

My laugh is heard in the wind

Reality sets in

You'll never see me again

Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep
