Let Me Go

Death surrounds me

Fear has gone

Replaced by anticipation

No, no, no

They are here once more

Let me go!

I long to be beyond here

Time has no meaning anymore

Faceless voices speaking

Into uncaring ears

I long to shed and trample down

This despair a daily companion

I reach for the stars waiting for me

Where pain ceases to exist

Where people look without pity

And time means nought

Pain has taken over

Senses seem to drift

I have won

They are finally letting me go

Death comes easily now
