To Drown

Those final words, I barely heard

A passing thought, as I closed the door

Raise me up, to my blackened skies

Alone I face this colossal storm



Don't leave,

Don't you ever leave, if I call

Don't leave

Don't you leave me here, all alone



On hands and knees, I crawled from you

Gasping for air, a dying breath

Lift me up from this blistered earth

Be my severance from a hollow world



Don't leave

Don't you ever leave, if I call

Don't leave

Don't you leave me here, all alone



To drown...



Arise, adrift and roaming

Embers glow dancing in flame

As my reason for living

Returns to haunt me again

If only for a moment

Set me free from the past

Hear the words I can not say

Don't let them be my last
