Chasing Happiness in Death

Happiness, only found in love and death
And the only one I'll ever love has died
So my pain will only stop with my Heart
Bodies may part but our souls will not separate
I have nothing left, not even my pride

I fear how a soul would look without a home
It doesn't scream or breath, but I hear its cries
I don't wish to know how it looks forced to wander
So I thank god she had closed her perfect eyelids
I regret all the secrets and the lies

I look to the right to see what is still there
No soul left, empty veins, and a torn face
Just the thought is far too much for me to hold
The world is cruel, I need to leave this life
I'll have to say my prayers first, just in case

My happiness is so close, yet so far
I can hear death calling beyond the veil
For to long my love and I have been away
It can't be that hard, she has paved the path
I'll never be happy again if I fail

Happiness, only found in love and death
And the only one I'll ever love has died
So my pain will only stop with my breath
Bodies may part but our souls will not divide
I have nothing left, not even my pride
I don't fear death, only that god has lied.
