FALL OF EMPYREAN lyrics : "Slowly Dying Inside"

Why can't they
See the dark
Inside of me

Deep within me...

They expect me

To put on a smiling face
They want me happy
But I can't lie

As I wipe away the tears
That stream down my face


The beauty they see
In this atrocious world
Has forgotten me in this life

I enjoy the misery
That breeds inside me


Please tell me why...

Happiness is a cruel myth

It eludes me every time
Creating a void in my life
Even just the thought of love

Is fantasy in this day and age
Nowhere left for me to hide
From this self-inflicted rage


Sleep, my only escape
From this pain

As I live inside a dream
Or so it seems
A perfect world

That never will exist again
This torment deep inside
Won't end


My life in ruins, I can't pretend
Darkness shrouds my every move

My mind is all that's left to lose
Sinking further every day
How could I live this way?

Defeated in this futile war
I cannot take this anymore


The light of the world
Grows dim in my eyes
As they bleed

Promises of a good life
Turn to lies before me


Save me from myself
This just isn't right
The want, the fear, the pain...


I cry myself to sleep every night
I feel I've lost the fight

The hurt never leaves
From my life
I slowly die inside


Is there a cure for this disease?
Or will I die in misery?

The pleasure in my life is gone
How did I last this long?


There was a time I had seen
The beauty of mankind
And unbridled love

Now I feel the anguish
Trapped within my soul
As I give in

The end is here for me
In this lifetime
Welcoming my demise
