I heard them all screaming in my sleep, Screaming that they want a savior...
Longing eyes turn in my direction "deliver us please" Yet I can only look back in fear
Lost within myself, but oh Who could I save, with dirty cheeks and a tattered heart
I stare back with animosity, wondering when their penetrating gazes will break
They dont... & I really do feel how opressive responsibility is
I don't want to grow up, I don't want to be alone, My nightmares reminate these beliefs.
Neverland never looked so tempting because just last night he was knockin'
I'll take the fiary dust, Ill never age...
Baby, lets loose our way... If they follow, they'll understand, I'm no saviour...

this is how I've felt lately
when they all turn to me,
I know im the last person to help anyone
I can't even help myself....

Power in words. You may not see it at the moment but you are a survivor...maybe not a savior, but all the same, you will help yourself. You just have to want to. Very deep and haunting write, strong and full of emotion.
Nicely done.
