It started when we were enclosed by white walls
A moment of peace
A new life slumbers
Filled with joy and grace
We were admiring her beauty with love in every trace
Which is when I got the call
He was already dead
When they found him in the back seat of their car
Mistaken for slumber, a tragic charade
They fled the scene, even with a chance to save
Leaving him in an early grave
I ran with them
Because when he asked for help, I was vexed with his cries
I left him for dead, a choice I dread
In my realm of dreams
I hear your present screams
Pleading for freedom
With no echoes of the kingdom
Recurring scene, filling my head like a smoke screen
In the car's back seat, you forever sleep
Seconds stretch like hours you'll forever sleep
Time slipping away
You've caught the white rabbit at slumber's keep
I can't carry the weight
I suffocate, asphyxiate
Constricted in despair, I can feel the end
One more bullet, I can taste the led
Hanging by a thread, barely breathing with a gun to the head
And I ask myself
Would it even be if I wasn't so bothered
And I ask myself
Will it be me drowning in my own drunkenness
Misery's manifested silhouette
Visions of death and regret
A fallen son overdosed
His caskets closed
In my realm of dreams
I hear your present screams
Pleading for freedom
With no echoes of the kingdom
Recurring scene, filling my head like a smoke screen
In the car's back seat, you forever sleep
Seconds stretch like hours you'll forever sleep
Time slipping away
You've caught the white rabbit at slumber's keep
Addiction is a disease
I can see that now
I hate myself for thinking this is what it took for you to be free
I don't hate you
I understand that Addiction is a disease
You are shackled to a forbidden fruit
When you ran you were chasing that same rabbit
That took him from me
I forgive you
In my realm of dreams
I hear your present screams
Pleading for freedom
With no echoes of the kingdom
Recurring scene, filling my head like a smoke screen
In the car's back seat, you forever sleep
Seconds stretch like hours you'll forever sleep
Time slipping away
You've caught the white rabbit at slumber's keep
You caught the rabbit, with a loose grasp of it
And you'll never hear the echoes of the kingdom
You're 6 feet under the ground
Cause I let you down and I'm begging for release
Now every time I take a long sip of the poison the scene repeats
How else can I fall asleep now that you forever sleep
