I can write the nicest words,
Melt hearts across the world,
And you'd never know the pain,
Deep within my own heart.
I'm an advocate for Love and Freedom,
Though I'm enslaved by hate.
I promote others to find themselves,
find their happiness, find love in life,
All the while my heart blackens,
Begging for the comfort of a knife.
It could be quick, certainly take not much effort,
to be done with the lies, the truth.
I couldn't do it,
though the land of death is all of our destinations,
I can't allow myself to be the one to send me there.
Maybe you could? For me?
Would you do it? You love me,
So save me. Save me from the drowning,
Save me from my thoughts,
That speak louder than anything else,
Screaming through my head day after day,
Could you do it? Could you be the one?
I'd take comfort in having you close again,
Maybe I'd love for my eyes' last sight
to be your eyes, locked on me,
As I fall into an endless night.
