4:59
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.
