Away
To die and wither away;
From this pain that I hide.
To lose and fall away;
From this life that I ride.
To hide and crawl away;
From this love that I lost.
To give up and toss away;
From this life at all cost.
To not even care and turn away;
From the cold lies you told.
To lay down and roll away;
From this life that I hold.
To bolt and run away;
From the misery in my head.
To fold and crumble away;
From these scars of living dead.
That is how far away;
I have come, because of you.
Now how far away;
Do I have to go for this to undo?
