Overcome

Please never tell me when to give my eyes away Joined in hand and for every fading day Please never tell me to give my prayers away Joined in silence and in every dying way Please never tell me when to give my heart away Joined in the circus of the words I'd never say Please never let me ever grow unknowingly To join in hands with everything that just can’t be Please never tell me that you’d die without me Never tell me when you just want something free I’m not the angel of your misshapen reality I am the demon that made you kill yourself not to see Please don’t rephrase the darkness that befalls you Through conflict and fire we find what pulls us all through Like the dream of a fish that killed itself by drowning The dream of an earth that killed itself by frowning Never give up and let the darkness overcome The light at the end makes up for everything we’ve done Please let me walk and never be overrun But your hope has disappeared and turned our light into the sun
