Been trying to outrun who I am
But failing at each step
It grips me, holds me tight
Laughing at each struggle
And I see myself tumbling back into the darkness
I hear your cries
Begging me to fight the need to hide
But I can see the light dimming in your eyes
You're tired too
I see it, feel it in your words
And I can only close my eyes and give into the fight
The pains unbearable
It's grip tightening on my soul
And I long for a moment of peace
Away from the darkness that won't let me go
But the shadows overtake me
And I'm too far gone this time around
You watch me from a distance
There's sadness in your eyes
That I can see and I don't feel a thing
Your lips move, but I don't hear you
I've fallen too far
And going back. . .
It's no longer an option, can't you see?
I've lost the strength to fight
Please, look at me!
I want to say sorry
To take your pain and blend it within me
I'm tired of fighting, running from who I can't be
I just want to close my eyes
Please just let it be peaceful this time
I've boxed up your words
Left them for you to read
For I can't find a thing to say to leave you with
You gave me all of you
And I . . .
