Of all the metaphors

[goingisntgood]

I sleep so I can dream
But I hurt so I can't breathe
I cleanse my eyes of compromise
But still I cannot leave
I talk so I can't think
I cry cause I don't blink
But everytime I think I'm wrong
This ship begins to sink
You whisper to me so clear
Things you think I might hear
But you don't know your prayers
Will all fall on deaf ears
But for one last ray of hope
Come's from someone you don't know
But you'll wait your life out of spite
But this sun it will never show
Enter scene take four
As our words move out the door
You'll say they escape but I partake
In my decendence to the floor
So don't speak words to me
In hope that I might see
Well it's just my luck to end up getting stuck
In everything I can't believe
I sleep so I can dream
But I hurt so I can't breathe
I cleanse my eyes of compromise
But still I cannot leave
