Into the Void, Act IV: Coming Out of the Void, Chapter 1 - Recreational Escapism

If I decide
To stay here until the end, (remain, just wait)
Would my
Life
Pass
Before my eyes
Or would I sleep through it all?

If I design
A way out for us to leave, (leave, just leave)
Would you
Come
Away
With me,
Or find it on your own?

Come away with me.
You don't have to do this on your own,
And I don't stand a fighting chance
To make it all alone.

You're the one with a life worth saving.

Oh, how I've been scraping, scraping at your feet.
I must have been mistaken, for taking what I need
To survive the night, the blight within the Void.

I regret you barely now.

With my mind closed, I
Shut out all the problem thoughts that I've supposed.
With my eyes closed, I
Begin to dream of a different time, and place.
With my teeth clenched tight,
I hold back the words I know will hurt you the most.
With my arms spread wide,
I let you in and accept your warm embrace.
