I'd like to be alone,
but I don't want to be lonely.

I'd like to be in hope,
but I don't want to be hopeless.

I'd like to be in love,
but I don't want to be broken.

I'd like to be sad,
but I don't want to be weak.

Destruction follows
my shadow
Failure waits
forming shapes
of your silhouette
deep behind the distance
lying in quicksand
spiting you out
Suffocating in your snare
steal the light
fight this night
fading in

When life got harder
you were physically there still,
but your heart ran off.
