Long Nights
(2003)

Life is what it seems, just lost in hopeless thoughts
Time claws at what's left of me, tearing me apart
Images of what might have been.. driving all night
I see through the driving rain, I see right through you
It lingers on, never leaving, never-ending

Darkness falls over me, dark are my dreams
Clouded are my thoughts, never to be released
So much pain inside, fighting to get out
So hard to fight the oncoming onslaught
Such trivial things keep us going
Yet those same things are my demise
I fail to see the faith in front of me
I've been here before, fought the evil inside
A war I thought I won, yet it battles on

Was I ever really suppose to be here? or was I just extended
Out of control, all I strive for is peace inside
My life drifts along whispered winds, and slowly decays away
Short have the days become, Long have the nights taken their place
I just wish to come home, rest my weary soul
Waging the wars over the years has taken their tolls
Burdened are the shoulders that carry so much hate for so long

What if I go, What if I miss those blue eyes I've sought for, for so long
So much time, So much missed opportunities, Too many lies
Shall I take that one last breath of the life I know
Shall I stay here and wait for the darkness to dissapate
Would life be better without me, would I even be missed in the crowd
Would I miss out on what I've waited so long for

... It all comes down to surving those long nights
