Sunken

DJ Salzillo

Longing for the grand reprise
When I can open up my eyes
Forget the nightmares pouring in
Forgive myself for all my sins
I feel it deep with in my bones
A place I used to know as home
No longer comfort in the sound
It buries me beneath the ground
And so I walk alone, it seems
Still holding tightly to my dreams
Will this prize be worth the wait?
I leave it in the hands of fate
