Rhyme schemes are meaningless
Written down without a purpose
They don't lessen the pain inside
Or even bring it close to the surface

I've worn this mask for so long
That I can't remember a time before
The pain it hides keeps growing
And now it doesn't fit me anymore

Please just let me go
Just let me fade away
Your hands can't hold me here
Neither can what you say

I'm not afraid of death
It is a friend to me
So I must take this breath
And let it comfort me

Trembling, shaking lips
Catch large, salty tears
The beating of a heart
Breaks and disappears

Demons haunt my mind
Kiss them all away
Hold my shaking hands
And tell me it's okay

Letting go is not so hard
I'm not afraid to fall
Death seems so natural
Once you've lost it all

Rain drops melt my mask
And break it all apart
The pain I was trying to hide
Is my badly broken heart

Reaching out to nothing
Losing the grip I used to hold
No one's saving me
My hand is growing cold

This is a call to death
I'm reaching out my hand
I'm giving up, can't you see
Why don't you understand
