Beyond Me

It’s beautiful, what you and I have.
You fell into me, I consumed myself.
You don’t realize what you’ve done for me.
And it’s beyond me that you’ve stayed.

We talk endlessly, and laugh without end.
Without end.
Forever and always we always say.
It’s still beyond me that you stay.

You saved me, you know.
The darkness tends to leave when you’re around.
The thoughts I hide away, they slip away into the crowd.
It’s beyond me that you stay.

It’s falling apart, I feel it.
This temporary distraction from what I have inside.
It’s tearing at the seams, and my time has come to decide.
It’s beyond me, why you’re still here.

I feel your breath.
I breathe you in.
I know it’s almost over, so I take you all in.
It’s beyond me that you hold on.

Now you’re gone, but you’ll get over me.
I’m holding onto what has already left.
Now I hide in the shadows of my mind.
Still beyond me why you stayed.

How do the seasons change without you.
I’m drowning in the solitude.
We’re over, I’m over.
It’s beyond me why I’ve stayed.

But I won’t, and I know that.
The voices are enchanting.
The demons, they are ranting.
It’s beyond me why I’m here.

The calls of death are prominent.
My souls’ defeat is imminent.
I once said without end, I knew I was lying.
It’s beyond me, why you don’t care.
