Take this life, I want no more
It has burned me to the core
Give me another in its place
And of this one please leave no trace
Take all the memories and the pain
And let them fade away like the rain
Take the darkness and leave the light
Carve me a path out of this fight
And for once just let me rest
Subject me to no more tests
There’s a monster she hides deep within
It holds the pain of all that has been
But it begs to be set free
For the world to finally see
With teeth and claws it rips and shreds
And it brings to light all she dreads
The beast within her is now awake
The peace it gave her it now will take
She opens the door, invites it in
This lonely girl with the palest skin
The hollowness within grows each day
And so she will beg for it to stay
To help fill this void that’s inside
This emptiness that she can’t hide
To stop this numbness that overtakes
And to once more feel a heart that aches
She’ll embrace the misery and the pain
She’ll invite it in and she’ll let it reign
Let this be over, let it end
All this torture I can’t withstand
I’m begging you to let me be
I’m pleading for you to set me free
Cut these strings that bind me here
That are made of pain and fear
Release these chains that hold me down
Or in this sorrow I might drown
Cold seeps in as she closes her eyes
And all around her the darkness tries
To erase the pain and agony
That she has been caused so callously
But all her wounds, even time can’t heal
All of her sorrow the world can feel
His words slice through her like a blade
Letting her feel the price she’s paid
The cold steel cuts deep into her soul
And agony within becomes whole
Her hope pours out and fades away
With weakened heart she starts to sway
A final stab spoken from his lips
And into darkness she slowly slips
Reality cuts deep, her innocence dies
All of the wonder is now gone from her eyes
A shell is left, so empty and hollow
And no path is lit for her to follow
Through the dark alone she will stumble
Hoping each step that she won’t crumble
From all of the weight that’s on her now
This pain and fear she can’t allow
On she goes, seeking release
Hoping for the pain to cease
In all the world, not one can claim
To truly know her deepest shame
Or know the path that has led her here
By its twisted pain and jagged fear
She seeks comfort but to no avail
With each attempt she will only fail
So all alone she will search for peace
On this journey that will never cease
Broken and beaten, she tries to regain
Balance within she struggles to maintain
She stumbles and falls along this path
Trying to outrun all of Fate’s wrath
But her wounds too many for time to heal
The pain so deep that it’s all she can feel
In agony she falls one last time
She has no strength left to make that climb
She’d rather be numb than feel the pain
And never feel the cold of the rain
From all of the storms that are yet to come
That do their best to make her succumb
So within her heart a vortex forms
And it will consume as it transforms
This heart once on fire to solid ice
But this new future will not suffice
To give up the pain she gives much more
All the happiness that was in store
