They come and they go
but they never know
the truth about themselves
they wash their sins away
falling over each other
they pile up one by one
until they cover over me
I'm drowning in you
You've covered over me
and I cave into myself
Scratching around like fleas,
the skin starts to crawl
and melt away
the light goes out
it loses its flame
blown away by the spirit of the wind
Sailing below the earth
looking for the lost thing that completes me
falling from the sky
riding on the wind
rolling with the clouds
through the sky
lightning strike me down
off the earth I fall
to my grave I retreat
lost in the blinding darkness
I have replenished my soul
and can return
I venture into the night
lost in light
bleeding my cry
come with me as I die
No, leave me be
I must be alone
Same as everything you say
nothing makes sense
consumed by darkness
covered by light
falling asleep hearing you
talk about the rain
the voices in my head
tell me to stay
but I need to leave right away
I'm gone
the shot's been fired, the job is done
pull the knife from my back
wipe the blade of my blood
carry on, carry on
slipping away
fading away
gone forever
