When I look out into the world,
All I see is darkness.
I try to open my eyes,
I try my damn hardest.
I see the sky falling,
Everything dying.
I see lovers breaking away,
I see him lying.
I don't need an image of him,
I picture him on my own.
His face is all over my walls,
Can't even sleep in my home.
Heartache seeps into my liquor,
No matter what I pour.
Trying to widen my variety,
Money isn't what makes me poor.
These hands were never met for yours,
But you took them anyways.
I need to escape your grasp,
It's something money can't take away.
I couldn't leave this world,
Knowing there were efforts I could have tried.
My love for you can't go,
It would stay even if I died.
We don't speak,
But that's something I'm used to.
I'm fine if you ever asked,
My last words will forever belong to you.
I'd give you all that I am,
But that's not what you'd like to carry around.
You already own all of me,
Until the day I'm lowered into the ground.
You're the only flame,
Inside this huge fire.
You've burned my soul to ash,
I'm no longer what you desire.
There's not a drug made,
That could cloud my memory of you.
I need help forgetting,
But that's only something you could help me do.
