It's not what they promised it would be Childhood dreams, teenage wonders It's far from what we thought it would be Hypocritical ties and remorseful lies I can't deny, death is in sight I stare at the sun til my eyes catch fire and the sky goes black Save me from light, drown me in darkness Rise and rise again til we fall This isn't the life they framed at all They failed us Sadness has burdened our soul Hate has taken its toll How much longer can I hold? Please lay me down to sleep Place my soul six feet deep I stare at the sun til my eyes catch fire I stare at the sun til the sky goes black Save me from light, drown me in darkness I'm ready to sleep Save me from light, drown me in darkness Please lay me down, take my soul I'm ready to sleep I stare at the sun til my eyes catch fire I stare at the sun til the sky goes black
