my life is going by like the hands on a clock
my days are filled with strong emotion but no one to share it with
my body has become a shelter for pain
my mind is engulfed in a thunderstorm
my soul is crying out for salvation but it fore-sakes me
i have been left behind floating in the abyss
i talk to god but does he hear my cries
i feel like death is to good for me not sure if there is a home for my soul to lay
what hell have i unleashed that has taken control of my heart
why wont they release me and give me inner peace
have i been cast into the pit and not recognized my surroundings
or am i so lost that i can't find my way home
the world has become a place of turmoil and chaos
my thoughts are of the sounds of laughter and giggles
my memories have become like old Polaroid's fading away

Just let go of every control.
Do not fret cause you don't know
Which way tomorrow's

So off I went to see him, thinking
by Hu Aryou
I try and try to empty my mind
With hopes of actually sleeping
Fight and fight, I'm up all night
Just sitting around thinking
