I left the life of bitterness behind,
now all I do is try and unwind.
I escape for split seconds, I lose the lies.
I use my weapons, I close my eyes.
Slipping into eternity without maturity,
I let go of the past.
The past has forgotten me, like a rotten tree
I am the fallen leaf, full of foliage.
I feel so alone I need you to know
Without you I will never grow.
I am left behind, a loner of a kind.
I am a soul diverged in this world,
split between a boy and girl.
She knows her name, and I know it well
I utter it in dreams or at the gates of hell.
Live or die I ride the light I hide the night
like the life I hide tonight.
I cover these scars, I covet these bars,
they withstand blows from an unearthly ghost.
The person I was before, he is no more.
