Forgotten

If I'm tired, does that mean I can sleep?
Will I wake up from the same bad dream?
One that criticizes
Makes me indecisive
On everything
If I'm gone, will they remember?
How they watched me burn down to embers?
Or will they make up a lie
And tell everyone I was a great guy?
Do I ever cross your mind?
'Cause you sure as hell cross through mine
And if you care to know
I've been sleeping alone for a while

But if the masses kept their voice down
Would there be flowers on the headstone
Paid with misery and loving memory?
Would it be possible to see
The signs nobody believed?
Before it's too late
And you're faced with
Constant sorrow you get lost in
How has everybody just forgotten?
I guess prayers only last a week

If I'm anxious does that pertain
To false reality set in my brain
How hard is it to see a truth exists
In what they say?
And if I let my vices win
Or walk a line so incredibly thin
Would you bat an eye from the outside
And comprehend that
This ain't easy on your own
And nobody ever feels like home?
Is it too much to ask
And not put me in the past all alone?

But if the masses kept their voice down
Would there be flowers on the headstone
Paid with misery and loving memory?
Would it be possible to see
The signs nobody believed?
Before it's too late
And you're faced with
Constant sorrow you get lost in
How has everybody just forgotten?
I guess prayers only last a week

When it's all said and done
I'll be forgotten, the masses won
They'll hold their heads up far too high
When it all comes crashing down
The fight is over, no one's around
I hope there's something down the line

But if the masses kept their voice down
Would there be flowers on the headstone
Paid with misery and loving memory?
Would it be possible to see
The signs nobody believed?
Before it's too late
And you're faced with
Constant sorrow you get lost in
How has everybody just forgotten?
I guess prayers only last a week
