Promise of a Life

A sting
Precious little thing
Sweet to numb
Brave but dumb
I’m lost or in a dream
Walls grow tall, darkness falls
Bleeding drips and drops
Bleeding, it never stops
Searching for anyone
I’m hoping to free my mind
I’ll follow a demon through the night
In fading lights, I’ll drown
I look for a reason, for the fire
The promise of a life
It burns
It burns like hell
Pain
I know too well
