Heavy Metal. Song: Another Restless Night.

Another restless night begins to break me down
Tossing turning never finding solid ground
Blood beats beneath these burning bones
Breath comes short and sharp alone

Darkness calls but I can't seem to fall away
Mind keeps racing through the mess of yesterday
Walls are whispering their warnings
Weight grows heavy with each morning
Black beneath my breaking eyes
Bitter truth I can't disguise

When will peace return to me
When will calm come crashing free
Heavy head and hollow heart
Torn between and torn apart

Hours crawl like broken glass across my skin
Fighting with the fears that feast and feast within
Counting sheep becomes a battle
Mind like chains and iron shackle

Pills and potions promise what they cannot give
Desperate for a way to learn to really live
Burning bright but burning out
Screaming silence filled with doubt
Black beneath my breaking eyes
Bitter truth I can't disguise

When will peace return to me
When will calm come crashing free
Heavy head and hollow heart
Torn between and torn apart

Still I stand and still I fight
Through the endless empty night
Still I breathe and still I bleed
Still I hope for what I need

Dawn breaks cold across my weary weathered face
Still no sign of that sweet slumbering embrace
Time ticks on without remorse
Life flows forward with its force

Medicine bottles mock me from the bathroom shelf
Fighting for my sanity and fighting for myself
Clawing at the ceiling high
Asking heaven how and why

When will peace return to me
When will calm come crashing free
When will peace return to me
When will calm come crashing free

Doctors speak in riddles that I cannot solve
Problems piling up that pills cannot resolve
Searching for salvation's song
Wondering where I went so wrong

Family watches with their worried weary stares
Carrying the burden of their unanswered prayers
Love me through my longest nights
Hold me till the morning light
Black beneath my breaking eyes
Bitter truth I can't disguise

When will peace return to me
When will calm come crashing free
Heavy head and hollow heart
Torn between and torn apart

Maybe morning holds the mercy I seek
Maybe strength will come to carry the weak
Till then I'll keep fighting through
Till the sun shines something new
