What’s so wrong?

What’s so black?

What did the voices say?

Why did you go?

Why aren’t you here?
Why could you just not stay?

 

A coward’s way out

The answers unknown

You left us to bleed your blood

We have to suffer

We have to stay

While you get to sleep in the mud

 

At that last moment

Who held your thoughts?
Who could push you so far?

The second before

Did your eyes show your life?

Before the whole world went dark

 

What’s so wrong?

What’s so black?

What did the voices say?

Why did you go?

Why aren’t you here?
Why could you just not stay?
