"Can you ever be too far gone?" Sir Sly, Too Far Gone


I forgot the blade,

I can see it on my bed,

left behind like me.


I really need it,

I couldn't live without it,

I guess I'm dead.


I hear people say,

that sadness cannot kill you,

can't they see that I am already dead?


Can't they see I'm gone?

Swept up by the wind and rain,

fading like the storm.


I don't have a will,

I don't have a purpose,

the flame of life gone.


I can seem alive,

but my soul broke long ago.

the light has burned out.


I look at people,

and I see them so joyful,

why am I different?


maybe there is a light,

a place far in the distance,

but I can't see it.


I am utterly blind,

and I try but I can't see,

I am too far gone.
