If You Could Walk On Water...

A story never told,
Your cards were folded
as soon as they were dealt,
I've lost trust in myself,
I just need
to find you so desperately,
Don't run
from me now, my sanity,
This frail state of mind
is cutting me down,
They're in too deep,
Get them out,
Or they'll drown,
Don't fall
to your knees now,
Watching as your
hourglass empties
all my belief,
Filling mine with
nothing to truly believe,
You do what's right
but sometimes
good intentions
don't mean
anything in life,
Don't let them drown,
(Why?)
I can't save you
in my dreams,
As the sand collapses
underneath your feet
(Don't let it
pull you
below the surface)
Don't slip away from me,
No, give me your hand,
My dearly departed,
(Guardian of my world)
You keep me safe and
I try to save you
in my sleep,
but dreams
are only relevant
when I'm asleep,
These ghosts dancing
inside my head
are searching
for a place to rest,
Close your eyes
it'll all be over soon,
You gave your life
for someone else's mistakes
and that's really
all it takes,
Pulled in by the currents
before you ever had a chance to learn it.
If you could
walk on water,
Or hold your breath?
Would this have
made a difference
in the end?
Now left
with a wooden box
of ashes
in the stand,
Come back to reality,
come back with me....
Six feet deep...
I agree
it's better to destroy
than to create
what is meaningless,
But what
makes you any less?
It's about time
to face my fears....
Well,
Once a year,
we threw roses
into the river
of my nightmares,
Please leave me
standing here
at edge of the world,
Take the life
from this curse
and make it yours,
(It's all a blur)
A world with no answers,
As this these thoughts
spread like cancer,
Sealed inside my mind,
There's so many questions
but very few answers
too find,
It's time
to put the pen down
and figure out
when my life really began,
(My feet left me & ran)
(My mind
is blank & too far gone)
Standing above
the water
in the clearing,
Take my breath, dear...
It's too painful
to keep coming here,
(Breathe)
This scene
of tragic deaths,
And I'm not the witness,
but it still takes away
my breath,
Now there's no saving you,
I'm wide awake
and I've thought about
and thought about it
until there was nothing left...
