I died that day when I stayed alive,
It got hard to find what little light I had inside,
But I'd die again, a million times and many more, I'd give up every pounds of flesh so that you'd arise and take your first and final breath.
I scream your name even though I never knew it, I see your face in every dream, and give up every one one for you.
I'm not alone but I feel it and for that I hate myself.
Every wall has a door but each one is locked, it's getting hard to breathe but I'm not even sure that I want to.
I smash one down, through fear or anger or desperation, I don't know,
But there's just a wall and behind that another, on and on, no roaring light to greet me, just the darkness of infinity.
I hold steady on a floor that won't stop moving, I had my momentum stolen by love I never heard,
This veil is stuck to me like my own crown of thorns, so deeply rooted that my brain bleeds with every step, every breath and word.
I still smell you as you flowed away and joined the river, lightly, little angels wings departed, but here, forever, I'm with you.
I'd stop thinking, living or drawing breath, I'd throw myself to the lions to pull the splinter from your paw. I will never stop loving you. I will never stop needing you.
