Trail of Tears

Laying here with blackened empty eyes, forgotten in despair

So many things to say, but not a soul that listens. Gentle caring seems to be a childish wish

Is there a memory, a destiny to believe in?

Shoul I take my life and end this misery

Close my eyes tears falling down like the rain from the sky

Please don't ask me why

I fear that end is near

Is there a reason not to cry?

Hoping to find some peace of mind

Across the dark into the light

Take me home where I belong

This journey on the trail of tears

Please come, come to an end

Wrists destined to bleed in this blackened world soon to fall apart.

Imprisoned flesh need to stay sane from childhood pain

Death is standing revengeful and divine

I step into my world my reality

I feel a cold breeze back on my neck

Oh God I know I'm fallen from grace

Please don't ask me why

I fear that end is near

Is there a reason not to cry?

Hoping to find some peace of mind

Across the dark into the light

Take me home where I belong

This journey on the trail of tears

Please come, come to an end

Please don't ask me why

I fear that end is near

Is there a reason not to cry?

Hoping to find some peace of mind

Across the dark into the light

Take me home where I belong

This journey on the trail of tears

Please come, come to an end
