fight for me in the dark
when the nightmares have made a playground of my mind
send me dreams that are sweet
a cool breeze in the heat
of summer
i am withering here
within the drought of my heart
i am starved here
of the comfort i once knew
bring back to my mind
the peace i felt
when i was held
by arms stronger than mine
take me from this place
this time
where i am nothing
and make me something
make me oxygen to the sufficating
light to the blind
strength to the weary bones
dont let me stay confined
in my prison cell
that i built out of wounded rhymes
and promises that were broken
out of hurtful words sopken
give life to my heart
it was bled dry
by hands that seek their own gratification
do not abandon me to the wolves
that steal my sleep
save me from my own bed of depravation
for i am growing sick here
