I’m
leaving for the end
I
don’t know where I will find it
but
I’m hell-bent to fight
I
don’t care if I have
to
wrestle the angles to the ground
or
to look the devil in the eye
I
will give it all that I have
for
something to replace your dead heart
I
walked with the darkness
wondering
what awaited me
the
yearning devoured my soul
to
a sheer emptiness
That’s
when you held my hand
I
was as helpless as a child
You
reminded me to look around
In
that light,
you
embraced me
you
buffered my falls
you
decided where all the pain went
And
when I got well
We
came out and saw the stars
We
lived like it was the first time
smiling
when the sun found us home
I
wouldn’t have it any other way
In
that life,
I
held on hope, I breathed easy
I
dreamed
Watching
my newly found life
I
didn’t want us to tear away
But
my heart knows banishment
like
a sailor knows the sea
I
have been down the rabbit-hole
more
than I can count
So
I know you need someone too
You're
lost in an echo
of
what I used to be
I
don’t know what I’m searching for
May
be I’ve got it all wrong
but
I know one thing for sure
I
won’t come back empty handed
I
will find you a phantom
to
hang in your room while you sleep
to
protect you from the monster
under
your bed.
