You said the words

You planted the seed

It’s taking root

This spreading disease

I thought I was safe

You proved me wrong

Now I’m standing here

With nothing to hold

Though my hands are empty

I’ve still got something to say

I won’t give up the fight

I won’t snuff out the light

I’m turning to the sky for release

From this deep rooted disease

I won’t give up the fight

I won’t snuff out the light

I’m turning to the sky crying for release

From this deep rooted disease

You left me here

With empty hands and a stone cold heart

Eyes once so bright

Turn pale and grey like ashes and dust

Memories of the past

Are fading like fallen leaves

All that’s left for me

Is a small sunbeam among the trees

I won’t give up the fight

I won’t snuff out the light

I’m turning to the sky crying for release

From this deep rooted disease

I won’t give up the fight

I must conquer the night

I’m falling to my knees praying for release

From this deep rooted disease

My words may sound empty

But I’ve still got something to say
