Set Free

Cobwebs float around my head painting pictures in my mind

Music forever playing as I leave the world behind

Blood flowing from me in the fading light of day

The sun on the horizon, I watch it melt away

No feelings of pain, no thought of sadness

Everything makes sense in this act of madness

I can still feel the wind as it gently strokes my hair

Too weak to reach out for you, but I know that you are there

Tears in my eyes, not of sorrow, nor of joy

Holding on to a memory, a memory of a boy

You will never meet him and he will never know

I will never see him cry, never watch him grow

I will never hear that song again, never waltz that dance

Never see your smiling face, I'll never have the chance

I am not afraid to go, I'm not afraid to fly

I'll embrace the silence when I finally die.

I can feel it coming now, my pulse is growing thin

My life may be ending, but a new life will begin

And as my life drains from me in the last moments of day

I am smiling at the world. Everything will be okay

Because I finally know the answer, now I finally see

The walls I have built around me are crumbling

Now I can be free.
