Take away those soft grey eyes, take away the pain. Take away the gentle curls, take away the rain. Take all I'm breathing for, take it all and run. Take all my possessions, take the loaded gun. Take away this hopeless life, take away my dreams. Take away the sinking ship, take away the screams. Take away the beauty, take away the hope. Take away the emptiness, take away the rope. Give me back my sanity, I really haven't slept. Give me peace, or a sharpened blade, I've got nothing left.
