Within Shadows - Dead and Gone Lyrics

Ever since I was so young
I faced the endless search of
A reason to live
A reason to fight
But this pain has no end in sight
I've reached the end of my rope
And I can't take anymore
I've lost every ounce of hope
I'm torn and broken from this war
I have come to terms
With not wanting to be alive
It's something that has always been
Extremely hard to self confide
I wake up every single night
By an evil that's trapped inside
I'm left without any drive and desire
My spirit within's a dying fire
I've done everything I could to avoid
Confrontation and all this frustration
Left here bleeding with an absence of
Motivation and dedication
I just keep lying to myself
Saying that I will be alright
I just keep lying to myself
Saying that I will do what's right

Everything I regret keeps surfacing
After my attempts to make amends
No matter if I'm asleep or awake
My mistakes haunt me till the end
Finding myself inching closer and closer
To taking my own life
All out of selfishness and the hopefulness
That it will end my strife
As I dissolve in a puddle of tears
And speak my last words to you
Just know I tried my best
And gave it all I had
But life has me left defeated
The voice inside of me
Cannot be silenced
It's always taking over
The only way for peace
Inside of my head
Is to give myself this closure
Help me, I have no will to live
Help me, I`m too weak to go on
Help me, I have no more to give
Help me, before I`m dead and gone
Ahhh
Dead and gone
