When I cast aside
Their concerns as lies
I know they can still hear me
Wishing for what I don’t have tonight
Overwhelming noise when the lights shine
I’ve seen everything but I haven’t been alive enough time
I can’t see them
But I can still picture that moment
I can feel their breath in rapid waves
Their tears running down my eyes
An ocean—the fault is my demise
I can’t take that me away, no compromise
I won’t let them fall down with me
No matter how long I’ve spent yearning
For a different end, for a single death
No matter how much I say I don’t need others
I know deep in the scapes of my mind
This is a place I just can’t leave behind
