Your ghost haunts my dreams
It won’t let me sleep
Its face is always a blurry photograph

I repeat the lines you said to me
“Don’t leave me, don’t let me fade away.
Stay with me, don’t leave me be.”

I watch you fade as the darkness encloses
I see you cry as my sorrow passes through
You hear me scream as the smoke hides all
Life is nothing now, because we are gone
The feeling of falling is finally free,
But the feeling of breathing is so far

Help won’t come for us, even if we cry
Snow suffocates our minds into twisted children
Always remembering, but also forgetting
Never living out our dyings
Skidding to a halt at our final light

Don’t let me die on my own
Please let me live all alone
