Echoes of Pain
Call me crazy.
Call me insane
I can take your name-calling
But I can not take the pain
I look to you for comfort
I look to you for escape
And now you are gone and I am left
Out in the cold dark rain
You held my heart
You held my soul
You left me dead
When you let go
I look to you for love
I look to you for silence
And now you’re gone and I am left
In the echoes of my screams
I see my death
When I dream
I hear your voice
When I scream
I look to you for torture
I look to you for pain
I look to your for thunder
I look to your for rain
You haunt my head
and your in my veins
Get out damn you
Go away
I look to you for anger
I look to you for tears
You have filled me and drained me
You have sucked me dry
Kill me with your eyes
Leave me dying on the floor
Alone as I was before you.
Alone I shall be evermore
I look to for release
I look to you for death
Kill me quickly and leave me be
Kill me quickly and take your leave.
