The day sneaks up behind me Telling me my time has come Time to leave behind all that I've worked for Knocking on every door Begging for a chance at life I'm leaving and I have one wish Don't forget me when I leave Don't forget me when I fall into the emptiness Don't forget me when I try to escape what consumes me My time has come to say goodbye My flight to the heavens has arrived Survived the battle of life for so long Everyday closer to the loss of this everlasting battle Don't know if my imprints in this life will last forever I'm leaving and I have one wish Don't let me drift away into the nothingness of the forgotten Don't let me fade into a memory Don't let me be lost amongst the commons I came and I made my mark Used my dreams to light way out of the dark Wanna be remembered as more then just a common man Want people to give a **** about me when I leave this cage Don't want to be recieved into the hands of the unmourned Don't want to spend eternity feeling forlorn I'm leaving and I have just one wish Don't let me turn into a torn page from a notebook All I have in this world means nothing when I'm gone I don't want all that you have of me to be just another memory Want my story told for all to hear So I can rid myself of this fear I'm leaving and I have just one wish Don't leave me in this cage lingering in the dark space in the back of your mind Don't wanna be lost for no one to find Getting tired of being left behind Stepped up on this plateau Up here for the world to see That this is me and I won't be forgotten Won't be forgotten I'm leaving this world and I have just one wish One wish Don't forget me Don't forget me
