Endless Nightmare

By soldier

When you do everything right and you fail
when your heaven turns to hell
every chance of hope dies in your hands
You got a bitter world that doesn't understand

when a life is left lifeless
the soul is less than this
Your left to feel nothing but hurt
Rip your heart out and bury it in the dirt

nothing calms me
nothing soothes me
Will I ever learn to love again
Will I ever learn to live again

If I wake from this nightmare
Will I have the courage to face the day
Right now I'm sitting here naked
Everything has been stripped away
from me

When love turns to hate and pain
Your heart will never be the same
I'm trying to remember what you said
Will you remember me when I'm dead

now I'll just stand back and watch
wonder when all of this will stop
fear that always leaves me blind
afraid of what I might find

nothing calms me
nothing soothes me
Will I ever learn to love again
Will I ever learn to live again

If I wake from this nightmare
Will I have the courage to face the day
Right now I'm sitting here naked
Everything has been stripped away
from me

I do not want to see this anymore
I close my eyes, I close the door

Trust is broken
and pain is here to stay
I have lost it all
and here I lay

If I wake from this nightmare
Will I have the courage to face the day
Right now I'm sitting here naked
Everything has been stripped away
from me
