There's a swallow in the air
Circling around, heading somewhere
I look up at the clear blue sky
I don't know how, I don't know why
I'm bawling
Tears falling
Cascading to the ground
Everyone, everything
Can make me cry
I know I'm weak
My world's gone bleak
I'm tired, I'm sick
You tell me to smile
But its seems to me
I've forgotten how
My hopes have shattered
Fighting spirit too battered
I want to give up
But you pull me back
I beg you to let go
You ask me to have hope
But how, I ask, how?
For I'm on a never-ending slope
Despair, darkness
They're my friends now
I bask in their company
They'll never leave me
Hope, light
They've gone for ages
I begged them to stay
But they crept away
I'm sad, I'm broken
My heart torn wide open
Closing my eyes
I pray each night
"Please, grant this wish of mine
Let me sleep till the end of time
Never wake up, never see light
Let my sorrows end tonight."
