• Nightmares taint my eye sight,
    lies are my shield from this life.
    Promises are my only ties to you,
    things I never thought you knew.
    My wishes are a dead man's joy,
    all I want is to breathe in again.
    Holding my breath for that day,
    waiting till our love is here again.
    The world wants to break me down,
    I stand up to stop the final count.
    Everyone says that I'm the same,
    the truth is they'll never change.
    I'm the one against the current,
    pulled under in its relentless force.
    I've been beaten down to nothing,
    but I won't let time repeat this.
    On the recorder of my life I hear,
    all the promises you have swore.
    And I'll hold you to them forever,
    so our memories are still together.
