Thick Walls and Heavy Sleepers

from Timepieces and Their Keepers by For Blind Eyes Only

about

Never stop fighting. Life gets better. You are not alone.

lyrics

Reharvest this energy from my body
And send it back to the sun
Allow me to leave this vessel empty
In the hopes that my soul can be born again

Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy?
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Don't tell me, because I know

I'm sorry I ever woke up
I'm afraid to go to sleep
Cause everything I've ever known
Lies broken, forced to defeat

I'm the skeleton in your closet
And the monster under your bed
Why would you act so fucking ashamed
If it's fear you're feeling instead?

I'm sorry I ever woke up
I'm afraid to go to sleep
Cause everything I've ever known
Lies broken, forced to defeat

Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy?
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Don't tell me, because I know

Life doesn't get easier
And depression never leaves
Every day we carry on

Longer nights and longer sleeves

The winner?
My demons by default
Cause I surrender

The winner?
My demons by default

This anxiety is eating me alive
I want to die
I want to die
Once it's bonded to your soul
Once you've both crossed paths
It always comes back
It always comes back

I'm the skeleton in your closet
And the monster under your bed
Why would you act so fucking ashamed
If it's fear you're feeling instead?

Who the hell wants me?
Wouldn't this way be so damn easy
Life doesn't get eaiser
And depression never leaves

Every day we carry on
(Every day we carry on)
Every day we carry on

This is not the end
This is not the end
This is not the end
I will rise again
