Immortal (by Rickey Joe and 2numbers)

(Verse 1)
I can't feel my hands
My legs won't walk anymore
I can barely see the sun
I can't hear the ocean when standing on the shore
But my heart keeps beating
I can't speak a word
In my failing mind
Is a volume of to be forgotten lore

(Chorus)
Now I lay me down to weep
One more night with a day to follow
How I wish to lay myself to sleep
With no more tomorrow
But I'm still here forever
Never getting shown the portal
Living in this prison of life
And I don't want to be immortal!

(Verse 2)
I can never know love
For mortal love grows old and withers
I remain ever in the shadows
Timeless, never aging or dying but eternally bitter
My heart keeps hammering away
I cannot vocally express my pain
In my maggot infested mind
I remember those who were long ago slain

(Chorus)
Now I lay me down to weep
One more night with a day to follow
How I wish to lay myself to sleep
With no more tomorrow
But I'm still here forever
Never getting shown the portal
Living in this prison of life
And I don't want to be immortal!

(Bridge)
I've had it all
It's all gone away
I've seen it all
Like it happened today
I've felt it all
The happiness and sorrow
I gave it all
With hopes of no tomorrow

(Chorus)
Now I lay me down to weep
One more night with a day to follow
How I wish to lay myself to sleep
With no more tomorrow
But I'm still here forever
Never getting shown the portal
Living in this prison of life
And I don't want to be immortal!

(Outtro)
Maybe if time would end
Then finally so could I
But then a new life would begin
So what good would it do me to die?

Powerful stuff!I love the the Chorus(now I lay me down to weep.Brilliant!)This could be a Classic with a few adjustments here and there.I don't have anything to offer,but this is good as it gets!Well done.

Thank you, Doug. You have seen the tip of the iceberg.
