You.
You’re the one chance I have left to be
The only thing I’ve ever known.
How can you leave me standing
With so much to give you?
If only I could reach
Into your silent mind.
I’d rescue you bring you back into my life.
Discerning illusion this world has created.
A shame that you just can’t see through.
It’s a shame what we’ve come to.
Only through darkness you will find light.
The preservation of this kind.
Blinding the presence of love within sight.
I can feel my heart die.
You’re the one chance I have left to be
The only thing I’ve ever known.
How can you leave me standing
With so much to give you?
This is the one chance we have left to live.
Can you see it through my eyes?
Have we given up?
All the lies and deceiving,
My heart can’t stop grieving.
There has to be something
To keep me alive.
Has to be something to keep.
Please keep me alive.
