All that Remains

Of Life and Death

To pass is a pain, but to live is much worse

Whether this mind, be a blessing or curse

It hurts to look up, into the sky

A light, blindingly bright, I think I might die

So is this how it ends? With no dreams, no friends

An endless void of white, are my eyes even open? It's harmfully light

Please don't bar me from being free

Not after all you've given me

And though I am in debt to you

And there could be a world with just us two

And we could splash and play all day

What would you do to get me to stay?

Where would we go to get away?

I feel trapped; I must stay

You've given me love, or whatever you call it

Though I'm sure the fire has already been lit

How else could I be burning so bright?

Others watch, to their delight

Admiring the paper curl and flake

Never to be doused, thrown in a lake

So please, I beg you, set me free

I've given you everything

All that I am, all that I be

If it's not enough, I plea, but please, Love

Set

Me

Free
