To Drown

Those final words, I barely heard
A passing thought, as I closed the door
Raise me up, to my blackened skies
Alone I face this colossal storm

Don't leave,
Don't you ever leave, if I call
Don't leave
Don't you leave me here, all alone

On hands and knees, I crawled from you
Gasping for air, a dying breath
Lift me up from this blistered earth
Be my severance from a hollow world

Don't leave
Don't you ever leave, if I call
Don't leave
Don't you leave me here, all alone

To drown...

Arise, adrift and roaming
Embers glow dancing in flame
As my reason for living
Returns to haunt me again
If only for a moment
Set me free from the past
Hear the words I can not say
Don't let them be my last
