Take Away

Take away
All that I am
Make me weak
And watch me fade
Until I am nothing
Silent and still

Waste away
All that I have
Make me helpless
And hold me down
Until I am useless
Empty and hollow

There's away
All that is possible
Make me something
And don't let me fall
Until I am safe and sound
Peice by peice

Give away
All that I feel
Make me numb
And wait till I break
Until I am completely torn

Wish away
All that I am
Make me smile
And release my pain
Until I am free of burdens
Found and together

There's away
All that I can search for
Make me whole again
And keep me strong
Until I feel my heart and soul
Full and strong
