Welcome Now To Death

I'm not really here.
I feel myself melting away.
Tired of living in fear.
Not knowing what to say.

Living with untimely fate.
Some things a heart can't forget.
As emptiness incinerates.
Still filled with regret.

Burning a hole through your heart.
And always aching to let go.
Of everything that tore you apart.
From everything you know.

The clouds drifting overhead.
Into a purple sunset.
Hoping you aren't dead.
I still haven't seen you yet.

The guns continue firing.
Never listening to a word.
And I'm obviously tiring.
From the things I've already heard.

And yet no one seems to notice.
Because no one is ever there.
Never there to witness this.
So no one will ever care.

Back away from me.
I don't want to hear more lies.
And I don't want to see.
Life through your eyes.

I've got worries of my own.
I'm sure you do as well.
Please leave me alone.
Who are you to condemn someone to hell?

Losing grasp on reality.
Fading into innocent dreams.
How can I still be me.
When I'm falling apart at the seams.

While you're putting on a show.
I'm stuck inside this cage.
I'm drowning in the snow.
Although it's melting in my rage.

Welcome now to death.
No more pain, hate or fears.
Just take in that last quick breath.
As the mind slowly clears.
