Tomorrow's in Doubt

For too long, I lay silently contemplating
 "Stay your tongue" is what I'm told
 Time and time again...
 I grow tired, and wait for sleep that never comes
 Left to drown in muddied seas
 It's been this way for ages now.
 Endless nights bring heavy eyes, I know
 A pounding head and a bleeding heart, I know
 Too far away to run
 Any dreams I may have had come screeching to a halt.
 I need salvation.
 Cleanse the wound so that I may live again
 Wait for tomorrow.
 And hope it's brighter than it was today.
 Foolish cries from a foolish man
 I now realize my hopes are in vain
 Once again you come to me in dreams
 I cannot stop you.
 Now inside... now inside, penetrating
 I can clearly see that I am dead
 As tears fill my eyes, I look to the sky
 Raising my hand I call silence.
 In visions I see what might have been
 But yesterday's gone.
 To hope for tomorrow and what it may bring
 And leave it behind.
