I looked into the blackness of your eyes
I see that underneath are only lies
The coldness of your gaze
Coming at me through the haze
Will you ever be the one you were before

Its time for me to go
No need for me to stay
I think its time I left
I am bereft

I watch as you walk yourself to sleep
In a waking slumber infinitely deep
You’re in there now I think
But I only smell the drink

Will you ever be the one you were before

Emptiness and platitudes persist
Self-pity and waste co-exist
But it all fails and leaves a trail
Of broken dreams and hatred in the mist
Will you ever be the one you were before

Sleepwalking is not a clever sport
Keep alert is what we all are taught
To run full speed into the shit
Will surely catch you up a bit
Will you ever be the one you were before
