I Remember A Lifetime Ago

Crushed by the agony of a silent oppressionCold sweat envelopes me as I gasp for breathEach of these track marks tells its own horror storyMy hands are shaking, I haven't slept in daysThere's no denial (we'll burn out)I know what waits for me (far before we)The calming hand of death (ever learn to)Is almost in reach (it's almost in reach)There is no promiseThere is no futureThere is no promiseThere is no futureDry your eyesYou know we'll never tellAnd if your secret was that hard to keepWe would fallWe'd fall!I have no option, I'll throw it all awayI've sold my soul, I've lost my mindThere's no one I can turn to, in whom to confideMy ghost confronts me and I can't look awayDry your eyesYou know we'll never tellAnd if your secret was that hard to keepWe would fallWe'd fall!Look at what I've becomeA shell of a manLook at what I've becomeDry your eyesYou know we'll never tellAnd if your secret was that hard to keepWe would fallWe'd fall!My desperation signals my untimely endThe thought of staying painlessIs all I have left!
