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
