The lights are dim, the night so grim

Left behind from what once was

Soul torn till tears seem to beautifully glow

Slipping…

Fly away, they call me,

Hither and thither, quiet haunting

Pills and blades have paved the road

Slipping…

Dripping life, dropping knife

Terrified screams, tardy hesitations

Oh mummy, oh daddy, forgive me

Slipping…

Beautiful pain, remorse behind

Craving the bright light all while

Smothering evil darkens eyes, so bleary

Slipping…

Too late, too late, love so lost

Returns to glimpse the final breath

Agony, cries, heart wrenching screams

Slipping…

He rises, cries burn the throat

Never has loss seemed so eternal

Bullet carves the path to dreams

Slipping…
