i sat on my bed
thinking of what i fear
wondering why i'm still here
wasn't i supposed to be dead?
why didn't you let me go ?
why did you say no?
i know my death would've hurt you
but me staying alive hurts too
you would be happy when i'm alive
but i wouldn't when again my pain will arrive
i don't want to give up
but the empty black hole inside me wants me to stop
i'm gonna fall down on my knees and i'll never be able to reach the top
i'm tired
i'm sick of everything
i'm weak
oh god how much i wish i was a statue
so maybe i wouldn't have to think about you
but i don't know what are you and who
where are you and how do i know you
if i try to climb the mountain
i'll fall down back where i first started
i'll feel the pain that once hurted
and now i'm back in the dark dream
the one with the endless tunnels
stone walls that slid by cold under my fingertips
sadness a heavy salt in my mouth
fear ringing loud bells in my ears
i felt my way in th dark
tracing small figures and words
curved in to the tunnel walls
these messages are what people say to me everyday
i can't see or hear anyone
but i can read what you say to me
through the next line curved in the rock
that's how i understand what people want
what they say to me
and what i'm supposed to see
but i'm tired of it all
i always hear an echo
cuz in this tunnel i'm alone
in air that smelled of damp stone and mildew
i wish at least i could see a shadow
i wonder again why didn't you let me go
i could've took the short path
and i could've slept in heaven
instead of going through this tunnel
but i'm too late now
and i can't get out of it
cuz i don't know how
why didn't you let me go?
why did you say no?
