The Way
Mock the way I live,
take the breathe from me.
It's not for you to give
How can this be?
I thought I knew what love was.
but that was just a dream.
I thought I knew what love was...
but things are never as they seem.
Rip my heart out and watch me bleed
I'm here upon the edge of life
you don't know what I need.
This is just too much strife.
I walk around, an empty carcass.
waiting for an end.
They always say life is just.
Just what dear friend?
I don't understand
I can't grasp the concept
someone take my hand
and pull me from these depths.
The depths of dark.
the depths of light.
From a little girl in the park
to an old man with no sight.
Suicidal thoughts racing through my veins
holding fast to nothing
come, lets play their games
Hear the cursed bells ring.
A wedding of sorts
but it's not the same.
The ship pulls into ports
what was his name?
A name of fear
A name or hate
for one so near
the "Heavenly" gate.
So one that once walked in light
is now so far gone
I walk through this forever night
I'm always so alone.
So as I lay down tonight
I say goodbye to you
you have now snuffed the light
you know this to be true.
Mock the way I live
take the life from me
it's not in you to give
you were the ones who let this be!
