Fade into the black

Oh please,
let me fade away.
I can't take this pain anymore.
It's stabbing above my breast,
deep in my chest.
It's poison in my blood,
seeping into my core.

I can't wake up alone.
I can't face the scars of what I've done.
I can't look into these empty eyes and wonder;
Who is home?

The cold is what I feel,
the pain without the numb.
Save me, Lord.
Let me sleep,
close my eyes,
I've made my goodbyes,
let me rest for once.
Don't wake me in the morn'.
I'll be long gone.

Tears travel down my face,
I miss lover's embrace.
I miss the summer's warmth.
Winter has raged too long in my heart.
I am slipping away.
Sliding on ice,
to the cliff and
away.
Adieu, adieu.

Miss me now,
miss me here,
I am gone.
I am the ash within the wind,
I have no home,
I am free.
The black has taken me whole.
I am no longer here to stay.
I have faded into the black.
