Animals are loving and kind
They know what you're thinking
Inside your drifting mind
They understand the pain you feel
All the time

They comfort you
Like no one else can
They sit in your lap
And lick your hand
They look into your eyes
And see the hurt deep within
Then move into action
To give you peace again

You love them
And cherish them
Like a true friend should
You guide them
And tell them
All about the world
How cruel and unforgiving
It can be
And then you tell them
The beauty of the sea
And all of the creatures that live within
How happy and wonderful they are
And how they don't have a bar
Keeping them trapped in a box
Of loneliness...

But then when they leave this earth
You feel an emptiness inside
You feel all of your joy start to subside
Then you finally come to see the truth behind it all
The truth that sets your happiness aside
And brings back all of the pain inside
For you have lost your one and only friend
Who has gone above and beyond
To love you within

Now that your best friend has left
There is no reason to be alive
You cared for that animal
And gave it your life
Now, no longer happy
But trying to stay alive
Forever stripped of your pride
You subside
To darkness
For light has not won
But failed to complete
The soul within
Now you must compete
To gain courage again

But now it's too late
You feel your heart stop
You freeze in place
Bracing for the drop
You feel the world fade
Before you had a chance to say
How sorry you were that you made a mistake
But now you are safe
In the realm of death
No longer living
You are without breath

Wanting to live
But instead you die
Even though you did your best
To try to stay alive
You failed and are now
Stripped of your pride
Death overcame
The moment gone
You say your prayers
For the last time

A part of you happy
A part of you sad
You were so different
And felt so bad
But don't worry
For you are no longer living
But you're still sorry
That it had to end

Good-bye world
I hope to see you again...
