Requiem

Motel roaches, flashing neon
How does one escape ephemeral darkness
Sharper than the knife edge
Scared to make a sound
Will I always be this godless in this cage
This cage

So untie me, leave my soul bare
Every time I feel this pain fading away
Is it just a phantom limb
That let's me vanish when I'm numb again

As I drift to Portishead
Feels like my heart is coming through
Leave me naked on this bed
Calling for you
When I finally take a nap
Pray I'm waking up
Pray I'll see the sun tomorrow

So please don't play my requiem
No don't play my requiem
Not guaranteed a second chance
Thank God I'm waking up
Please don't play my requiem

Life is flashing before my eyes
Recalling my mistakes
I'm all out of time
Wait, I see there's light ahead
Just out of my reach
I'm not ready for my soul to rest in peace
In peace, no

Feeling cheated, life is so unfair
Every time I feel this pain slowly fading away
Is it just a phantom limb
That lets me vanish when I'm numb again

Vaguely I hear the Portishead
Feels like I'm slowly coming to
No longer lifeless in this bed
I missed you too
When I finally take a nap
Pray I'm waking up
Pray I'll see the sun tomorrow

So please don't play my requiem
No don't play my requiem
Not guaranteed a second chance
Thank God I'm waking up
Please don't play my requiem

How far from heaven
Did I fall to get here
Regret one second
Get it then it's gone
Fall in, how far does it go
How far
How far
How far
