Gone



Long night coming
 Biting my brain
 I'm going f*ck*ng insane
 Oh god this pain
 Killing me, I shall die without vain
 Here I lay
 For soon they come
 To take me away
 To a place of dreams
 Expectation in reach
 I can hardly breathe
 What is to become of me?
 Surly this can't be.
 Have I been saved?
 Will they take their time?
 Or will they be quick to relive?
 Oh I wish I could believe
  That there is a purpose for me
 The ultimate sacrifice
  I will take for you
 All I ask is for you to be true
 For it has come
 The last breath I get to keep
 Drowning in sorrow
 I can't just borrow
 For it is the day
 I have to pay
