I drift in the dark
Pain ebbing away
I had let it go
Forgot my reality
My life
What did it matter
I was already dead
My emotions gone
I feel nothing
No lead weight
Where my heart is
It beats on
And I live
Opening my eyes
I stare at myself
No, not me
Yet, it is me
Why is She here?
She isn't me
She is free...
I'm the one who's trapped
Let my sister go
I have to be here
I have a reason
My breath is ragged
But I can speak
I begin the chant...
When I come to
She is gone
I have saved
The one thing from
My past
That remains
Innocent and pure
I cheated the dark
But damned myself
Even more
But that's alright
I can live without
Seeing the sun again
I can live without
My family
So long as
She's free
My last prayer
Before my heart
Closes off
Is this:
Let her find love
Let her live
Surrounded by
The family she's
Made
Let her die
In her sleep
After a long life
Please....
