I’ve been feeling the sadness welling up in my throat

(when the silence speaks) and

I’ve been fighting it off for as long as I can

But friend, I can only go so much longer,

I can only take so much more and

Friend, I need you to fight with me because I don’t think I

Can do it alone (can’t I do it alone?)

There’s only so many hours in the day,

but oh how

the Hours spread themselves thick across my soul

Dividing what could be conquerable into something

Cruel and constantly cold.

and the loneliness presses in, asphyxia for the soul

All the faces that surround me can’t break through the fog

I fight

Your face, friend, stutters my heartbeat

but for you I’d go blind.

Friend come back to me, come talk to me like before

Ease my fears and quell this agony, untie my thoughts from

their tangled wretched songs (I can’t hear them anymore!)

You say the same words to me

As before

You smile the sigh but I can’t

see the same

As before.

Friend, shut my eyes from the world (forever),

whisper in my ear

let me lie here

I am already entombed.

(i am scared)
