All that Remains

Of Mind and Soul

Take away the struggle, take away the pain

Leave that is all only in my brain

For all I can wish for is this hazy, glazy lease

Is that I may finally rest now, and find forever peace

Take away my mind, take away my soul

Leave what could be mistaken as a toll

For all I can hope for that I may find solace

Is that I may flee now, from the arms of malice

Alas, with my shattered heart and half-dwindled brain

I can admit, I will never be the same;

To flee is a fools move, but to stay is much worse

It could be said that it might be a curse

So I must say goodbye now, before I taint far too many

I fall into the darkness, so that none may hear of me

So that they all remember is the fire of my youth,

All that I said, spoken in truth

And not all of the wrinkles and creases and scars

That were torn apart and held by bars

Bars of iron rod and steel

Metal that will linger here

It t'was the story of the girl who turned dark

Once from a glassy, but now tainted heart

Caged by metal and protected by such

A mind of sharp and a soul just as much
