Too much now...

Darkness with the promise of light
And that's how it has been
There's sunshine behind these clouds
There might just be a river beyond these dunes
How about a spell of rain and thunderstorm
But yeah, I know it's too much now.

My demon is counting strikes
While the angel looks away
No matter this mangled mess
I'd rather you look away
When I burn to ash
Because I know it's too much now.

No, I don't dream anymore
You'd know when your heart sinks
Down into a bottomless pit
Its lack or excess
Control plays with your mind
Believe me, it's too much now.

I don't want another
No proof of before
What was, was enough
To know your core
I just want to sleep
It's too much now.

It's cold and my hands are empty
You warm another set of gloves
My eyes search for the fire
As I lay on the pyre
Go ahead world, move on
For me, it's too much now.

The noose tight around my neck
And the look on your face
Jagged little lines on the skin
Turn into knots in your stomach
Oh well, this book is over
It's too much now.
