Soul Carrier

Give me air I'm suffocating, 

Show me how to stop pretending, 

Hold me high do not let me go, 

Cut the ropes that lift me high and bind me, 

Open up the closet where you forever hide me, 

See the bone collection trail that slowly follow behind you, 

Haunting you while you are sleeping, 

Underneath the bed I hear you breathing, 

Tell me were you the one who tried to save me, 

Say the words that leave me by your bedside, 

I know its me that keeps you up at night, 

I hold my hand to your face to sooth your soul i know you feel it as your stirring fades away,

I watch as your eyes go glossy,

Face so cold, though your face so warming, 

Now join me, Be as you last saw me, 

But this time to stay, in my sight for eternity
