How Soon

Climbing up the bodies of doom

I am so far beyond the pale

Regret feels like forever

How soon will I fail

 

I don't know what to do

I can't find my way

All roads lead to pain

How soon will I break

 

Those once dear all drift away

I tear down each bridge I made

How long do old bonds last

How soon will my friends fade

 

I can't fix mistakes

No matter how hard I try

I can't unsee what I've done

How soon can I cry

 

Aches in my heart moan to me

Like memories almost suppressed

They stare when I shut my eyes

How soon can I rest

 

Following ghosts from my past

Trudge to the beat of my heart

How soon will my song end

When will my dream start

 

How soon can I sleep
