Awoken by shivers
Face buried in hands
Black figures occupy my vision
I retrace my steps
Return to the joy that never was
Drown the urge to end this lie of a life
With the cold sting of the forgiving drink
Drink from the fountain of youth
Be made immortal
Inch ever closer to the brink
I have been blinded
The chains that restrain me have become part of me
Wash away the pain
Drain the memories away
The fountain is infinite
It's waters taste divine
Don't shine your light on me
I wish to remain asleep
It is bliss to me
Let the ears of the world be deaf to me
May all my peers be bereft of me
Reject the world that has rejected me
For to be conceived is to be unfree
I pray the fountain never run dry
Whatever the cost I shall stay by its side
And pray that the sickness never subsides
Pray for the phantoms that haunt me every night to remain in the corner of my eye
As the cold sting fades with time
More immersed in the fountain dead but still alive
This life will never be what I thought it would be
What was promised for me
All the empty words of empty people in an empty world
They mean nothing and they always have and they always will
All that matters is the cheap thrills
All that matters is the joy that kills
I have sold my soul,
To the life giving death,
To forget the sorrow that hides behind every breath
I have sacrificed myself to the fountain
I lie to myself that I'm not addicted
Confined within myself my truth remains restricted
I live
I lie
With these tired eyes
I see though I am blind
Without the will to rewind
I pray the fountain never run dry
I pray that the sickness never subsides
As the cold sting fades with time
Dead but still alive
Immersed in the fountain
I reclaim my youth through a slow death
I sacrifice my body for my ego
Lies become my shibboleth
The chains that restrain me have become part of me,
Wash away the pain,
Drain the memories away
The fountain of youth has drained me of life
The fountain of youth has swallowed me whole,
The fountain of youth has stained my mind
The fountain of youth has drowned my soul
