                                                                        My Demon’s Note

Can you let me go?

You don’t care for me I know.

It’s just a game you play

To take away my soul

My mind is shattered beyond repair

My  earthly sins haven’t any prayers

Sleepless nights spent soaked in memories

Wouldn’t my life make a great story

What would it be?

I’ve always lived in Fantasy

Where will it go?

Can I make it past the endless show?

Can you let me go?

I shoulda known better than to ask

Emotions run right past you

As my soul is caught in your trap

My mind races in million directions

My regrets all disappear

The earth spins faster every year

The memories swarm up around me

The emotions are sharper than before

And everything just feels empty

I’ve got the first prize on that score

Mother, Why do you blame it on me?

Sister, why do you refuse to see?

Brother,  just go away.

Father, stop begging me to stay.

So can you tell me now?

Do you know your answer yet?

Can you let me go?

Do you think you have room left to grow?

I can’t stay here

For my soul is crying

Yearning against it’s chains

You make me the stifled bird

I sing and my voice is never heard

And still you don’t understand the words

Can you let me go?

Can you let me drift along?

Can you leave my past behind,

And keep the dreams away?

Memories come with destruction

Hope just turns to pain

Though you know I’m the one

You turn your back to me and walk away.
