Breaking Silence - "Drift Off"

[carpenoctum]

this is my life, these are my words
all these feelings i've shared
i've been up all night long
i've drifted off somewhere alone
to escape into a feeling of numbness
somewhere that's safe, no questions here
a quiet place where i can hide from my fears

these are my dreams
that i'd never lived before
and this is the smile
that i've never shown before

i wish this pain was gone
but i sat there knowing
that i'd make it through

all these feelings i've had
i must be sleeping
i'm so afraid of waking
please don't shake me
don't weep for me
it's not worth the time
