How can I tell you the depths to where this runs?
How every little single thing in me is destroyed?
How can I tell you that I should be scared?
How there's monsters in the back of my mind
And I can't hide?
How do I tell you that it's all fine
That I've accepted this fate to which has been assigned mine?
Black Creeping fingers at the dawn
Hold my breath at the fall but I don't stall
Weaving tight all those things that crowd this place
Anger and resentment
Fear and lies
The pain it's killing me
But it's ok
Stitching nails I cannot fight
Holding on seems such a feat
When death welcomes me
Maybe I'll be free
I'm not scared no I'm not scared
Oh darling
I'm afraid I've lost my mind
But You cradle me and tell me it's alright to go a little crazy sometimes
And you hold me and say that it's ok to be a little lonely when the night draws down
You hold my hand and whisper you'll catch me if I fall
You do all these and sit and pray
But you cannot hug my insanity away
No darling can't you see
You cannot hug my insanity away
Just let me go, oh just let me go
Time ain't standing still for me anymore
I'm falling and calling for the curtains to close
It's pushing and pulling and calling me on home
And I can't breath, it's washing over me
Drowning the sorrows
Drowning the darkness
How can I not take advantage of this
There is peace on the other side
Don't try to keep on holdin on
It's time for me to go
And everyone who's gone before me knows how this goes
Oh darling
I'm afraid I've lost my mind
But You cradle me and tell me it's alright to go a little crazy sometimes
And you hold me and say that it's ok to be a little lonely when the night draws down
You hold my hand and whisper you'll catch me if I fall
You do all these and sit and pray
But you cannot hug my insanity away
Just let me go, oh just let me go
It's getting dark now
It's getting quiet
Silence my mind
And take my heart
Take my soul
Take all that's left and bring me home
Oh, woah woah, bring me home
