reality for what it is... (distorted)

I cut through the curtain of night

walking towards silence

closing my eyes to the light

Expecting death's embrance.

Now, that I'm all alone

I feel the emptiness inside

all that I had is gone

and there's nothing left to hide...

Old wounds are opened in strife

I am tired and can't explain

I am weary of this life

I have nothing to gain.

This cold winter

Stirs up old feelings
And a sharp splinter

You stuck in my eye
keps me from seeing
reality for what it is...
