Chased by nightmares
While awake and in my sleep
Your words and embrace
Are the salvation that I seek
You've seen this hellscape
You've too had these dreams
If I would ask you
Would you get through with me?
Lost somewhere in the nowhere
Surrounded by wide snowfields
Shrouded in the veil of the night
Voices in the distance
With uncomprehensible words
Taking a hurtful breath
To call them for help
And my aching voice
Dies down in the endless white
The burning coal
Inside my chest
Still keeps me warm
But I wonder for how long
No home where i belong
Lost in the here and now
Haven't seen me for too long
Lost in the fog of the past
Such a sad sight for
Sad eyes and a bad mind
Where have I been?
It feels so wrong
To look through blind eyes
There ain't no hindsight
This pain consumed the pictures
But the sorrow still lingers
She said:
"Dont think of a pink elephant"
And I couldn't see
Some might see me as a key
Some might feel me deeply
Some might see me as the door
Some might meet my core
Some might perceive my essence
Some might hear my soul

Ripped into a thousand pieces
Left with a hopeless mess
Spend all my blood on the way
To find a place to rest
And I swear I'm trying my best
But it drags me down
Again till nothing's left
Nothing's left to be found
