Savior

I used to carry the world long ago when I was young

 

on a long fading line across the pain

 

I had all the pain on my back

 

and I lost my way

 

I lost the line

 

they watched me as I grieved but didn't say a word

 

I had all the pain on my back and I lost my way

 

so I died

 

i died so long ago

 

and I was distended to die eternally

 

so I died again and again just to feel the pain

 

and then I became the pain

 

I became the numb walking dead still carrying the world lost and faceless

 

and now I see you

 

you look like all the pain I ever carried

 

there's something inside you

 

I see the world in you're eyes

 

I hold you're hand and I feel all these years passing us by

 

I hear you breathe and I hear the weeping beyond

 

yes I can see through you

 

there's an earthbound sorrow in you I know

 

oh sorrow!my old soulmate

 

and I believe you

 

I know you tried

 

I know you pushed so hard

 

I don't know you

 

yet I wanna share my silent nights with you

 

i want you to wipe my tears

 

I want you to be

 

I want you to go

 

I want you to save me

 

I want you to...

 

leave and let me die alone....

Interesting work, reminds me of the work of Travis Meeks, maybe even Layne Staley.
