Fragments - Grey Skies Fallen

Memories of another time

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

Though distant, I can still hear their voices

Begging me to avenge their pain

Silence, a welcome sound at this moment

I’d rather be anywhere but here

The fragments of a life in upheaval

Remained untouched for all who care to see

A painful reminder of the way things used to be

I’m drowning.

It’s harder now than it ever was before

Where are you standing?

Yes I can see you, but I can’t see your face

Who are you fooling?

You have deceived me for the last time

Looking to another time

I stand alone on my own in the future

I’ve struggled to forget what befell me

The memories will always stay with me

Tired of the endless failure

«Suck it up and accept your fate.»

You tell me, though I choose not to listen

A stubborn fool, unwilling to be saved

Must endure another endless day

I wither away.

I can’t be saved

Looking past the troubles of today

I wither away to nothingness

I’d like to start again

With a better plan to follow

And trust in me, and only me

I can trust no other

A new day arrives, and I embrace the sunlight

Now to sweep aside the horrors of the past

A great time to be alive, the lessons learned stay with me

So now I test myself to see if I survive…
