Requiem: Relinquish

Give me a reason
Give me a lie
Give me a dream
Then let me die

Relinquish me
Set me free
Emotions take flight
For no one to see

The future pauses
The past replays
New faces this time
Same heart decays

Growing sorrow
Loss of light
Embrace the darkness
Give up the fight

Floating in a sea
Dark and lonely
Rescued by a ship
Sinking slowly

A home nonexistent
A love withering away
Another stitch being tugged
Another Dark Day

Old habits flaring back to life
Paths carved with a serrated knife
Edges rusted, waiting, ready
Following slow, deep, and steady

Pain on pain
Hurt on hurt
Dust on dust
Dirt on dirt

Drowning slowly
A peaceful death
This crimson sea
Stealing my last breath

Take it all
Leave nothing behind
Free my soul
Steal my mind

To die is to live
To live is to die
To lie is to love
To love is to lie
