Leave

Leave this death embrace behind
I will only kill you with time
Trying to hold onto something that is no longer there
And holding you all the tighter, dear

Leave me to my world of hurt
Let my life return to its founding dirt
Nothing you can do will change me
Why would you even try to change me
Why would you try to rearrange me
When I'm killing you all the same

Leave my empty heart behind
Bent and broken to fit your rhyme
My only love left me long ago
And I cried till my eyes hurt, pleading not to know

Leave me now to this house of death
Opened from the waist up to try to catch my breath
A final solution to end my life of pain
Why would I end my life of pain
I've just begun to live this life of pain
And now I've forgotten even you

Leave this death embrace behind
I will only kill you with time
Trying to rid my world of all I fear
And holding you tighter still, dear

Leave behind all thoughts of me
Entering into a slow-eternity
Wasted emotions to hold me till I drown
Down under the healing waters till I drown
Filling me with useless emotions till I go under and drown
And now I've found my life

Leave me to my own reasons
Where nothing can touch me and make me scream
No slithering beast will come to devour me there
Holding you ever tighter, ever tighter dear

I've killed your memory once before dear
While holding you and keeping you near
I've desecrated the past we had and must share
Till nothing was left of what we had and must share
But now I'm remembering what we had and must share
And I love you still dear
