Set Me Off

et me off so that I can burn up

Cause I've been cold for a while

I'm as good as dead

So better be done with it already



Set me off once and for all

Atleast I'll escape this reality

Into the sound sleep of death

Where I'll finally take rest



Cause I've been walking but dead

I'm barely moving into progress

While I've been giving it my all

I'm breaking with nothing to show



What's kept me alive is the hope

That you'll see me struggling and take me

Just like how a scavenger hovers on its prey

Cause I'm barely walking with this weight I have on
