I see a light sky in the distance; Soon the sun will rise. Today looks as innocent as child’s play. I cannot tell you how I got here. But you must know I will not leave. I’m clinging to the train tracks, thinking of the past For I’ve destroyed my future. I can see it coming and I will not close my eyes. I will not fear a self-inflicted death. Shatter my bones, off with my head. Do to my body what you did to my soul. And when the sun shines and the insects crawl And the birds circle the scene and the people talk Do me the biggest favor And please Just please, forget you ever knew me.
