WHAT WAS ONCE FOREVER

It's futile to prevail
Over the pain I suffer through
Stumbling through each day
Barely hanging on to this ledge

If I succeed and crumble the pain
A new day brings new emotions
Fear, sorrow, dismay, shame

No escape
No existing angles
No uncovered holes
To crawl into this time

The end has finally come
I fear for my life
I'm weak
But not that weak
But that could change

An easy way out of my problems
An easy way out of the pain

If you love someone
You should set them free
I love myself
So I should be set free
Let me finally be at ease
And get some rest

Show me another way
I don't want to die
I'm up for suggestions
But you don't care
That's what I can't bare

All the sorrows grow
So many thorns in the ground
I try, but fail

My eyes aren't focused
My world is clouded
I can't go on like this
And I don’t think you would either

Tonight is the night
The end of what was once forever
It has come inevitably

My life is slowly fading
My eyes seem focused
As I look back on my faults
I smile through my tears

You showed no mercy
And I gave in too soon

You called on me
I ran to your service
You dismissed me
And I crawled back to you

What's left to do?
To please you again
I'd do anything
I love you now
I'm going to try now
Harder than before

I can't go home without you
I'm going insane
Here on my knees I reach out to you
For one final sympathetic word
Before I say goodbye

You turn in shame
I fall to blame
Why else?
Who else?

Pushed over, I fall
Holding on for dear life
I cling to the ledge
While you step on my fingers
I cry out in agony
Show some mercy

Finally my hands release
Closer and closer to the bottom

My life was once forever
I was going to make it
Alone or with you
But no I gave in too soon
And gave up on what was once forever

And as I lie here where I landed
I slowly fade from life
Into another world
All to itself
Elusive and incomprehensible
I smile my last living smile
For no one to see
