You want to set me free?
Lights flicker, candles strewn 
 A silence so heavy it's smothering
 As it coats the insides of my lungs 
 Cocoons my heart until there is nothing 
 A fine silver mist that envelopes my mind, my body, my soul 
 Weights, concrete shoes drag me down 
 Into the blackness of the pit of sorrow 
 So deep I cannot see the moon or the stars 
 Save me, creature of the night 
 Break the bondage of despair 
 Rescue me from the loneliness 
 That breaks my very heart in two 
 I cannot breathe, I cannot feel 
 As the wax runs down the candles, pooling around it's base 
 So does my blood around my feet 
 It's alright, I'm okay 
 I save the last breath for 
 You
