Within the Shadows

Lost - Once Upon a Time

it's been so long

i want to leave

i have no purpose left

to will myself to live

nobody said it was easy

i'm lost

only to never be found

pick me apart

smash me hard

i've got nothing left to give anymore

take me away

make it all better

this pain is for a day

but death, you're far greater

the cuts on my arms

the scars on my wrists

are part of my charms

you can't resist

oh!

how long i have waited for you

death,

do me the favour

of coming soon,

once upon a time,

i used to be scared of you

but now,

i am as calm as

the bright full moon

i remember those long sleepless nights

when my thoughts

were my only companions

once upon a time,

i used to love the glowing lights

but now

they all just seem to be bright spots.

life threw upon me

weapon after weapon

i took it all

with a smile

while suffering

from my own demons

this constant feeling of loneliness

has robbed me

of my peaceful dreams,

my life has become a mess

death,

oh death,

come tear me into smithereens

take me away

make it all better

i'm ready for you, come

pick me up like a feather

once upon a time,

i used to be happy

i used to smile through my heart

and laugh through my eyes

now the only thing

that i'd do gladly

is to escape from this life

how much longer will you make me wait

oh death!

grace me with your presence

once upon a time,

i admit i hoped for you to be late

but now

i can't wait to get rid of the pain

once upon a time,

oh, once upon a time

there was some meaning to life

but that time is gone now

and all i want

is to go to sleep

and never wake up again.
