What is the reason, I'm still alive, I'm begging you…
“What is the reason, I'm still alive, I'm begging you please, Tell me why, The fear of life, The fear of death, Fear in itself, Steals my breath, I want this to end, This pointless pain, Driven by anger, Making me insane, Ghosts and ghouls, My only friends, Not that you care, Till my life, I end, Held back by fear, To let it all flow, Red rivers of life, I will never know, One day I'll snap, Cold steel to skin, Beautiful red ocean, Revealing my sin, Dreamily I pray, To be free at last, The feeling of nothing, Leaving me outcast.”
