Thinking while I’m sleeping
A restless spirit worried
Laughing while I’m crying
A recovered imposter

Screaming while I'm silent
My everything is buried
Searching while I’m dormant
A tortured man without her

I am hopeful, but I’m hopeless
A walking contradiction
I am cheerful, but I’m cheerless
A Basket Case convention

I am praying, but I’m prayerless
My faith, I can’t uphold
I am fearful, but I’m fearless
For her, I'd sell my soul

Lifeless, yet I’m breathing
Ever since I lost her
Certain, yet I’m doubtful
She has never gone away

Leaving, yet I’m staying
I'll be with her forever
Dying, yet I'm living
I'll end my death today

"If this grand panaorama before me is what you call God... then God is not dead."

My spirit will rise

There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
