Walk Away

My heart is heavy
My lies are stone
This time I’m ready
I die alone

My bones are broken
My soul is lost
Some words were spoken
That haunting ghost
I see her every time I close my eyes
Those words, in time, have paved my lies

My world is jaded
My mind will stare
She lies there fading
Her eyes are blurred

My hate is blinding
My heart will pay
My fate is binding
I cannot stay
My dreams show me the only way
I must fall so far away
To die now is to stay
The light will guide the way
