Lay Me To Rest

Will you just lay me to rest?

Oblivious infection crawls beneath my skin
A casualty of time or a sentence for my sin
I'm counting down the days to the moment I can finally feel again
The moment I can feel again
The remedy resides in the depths of my mind
When will you lay me to rest?

Writing a story come undone
With calloused hands feeling numb
Like the moon still praying for the sun
For a day that never comes

This laughter repressing sharpened screams
Becomes the mask for my deceit
When did the storm came crushing in?
Why do I hate myself for who I'm meant to be?

My weary eyes tired of lying awake
Like it was written on my grave
So, will you lay me to rest?

My ineffable
So, will you lay me to rest?

It's been quite a long time now
Since I felt the warmth of a smile
The remedy resides in the depths of my mind

Writing a story come undone
With calloused hands feeling numb
Like the moon still praying for the sun
For a day that never comes
This laughter repressing sharpened screams
Becomes the mask for my deceit
When did the storm came crushing in?
Why do I hate myself for who I'm meant to be?
