i beg for the end

i lived my life as a child

deeply sewn innocent

i bartered for my safety since

i waged war with the night

getting close to the dying light

tempers fall and water's out of sight

is anybody out there?

can you still hear me?

can you touch the cracks under my skin?

can you leap across the chasm i've created?

can feel you when i sleep

i beg for the end

i beg for the end

i'm always running away

is it still running when there's nothing left behind me

i can't seem to stay here

when everything is a reminder of after things were easy

i have this picture of you painted in my head

i felt the start and i believed it to be true

there was the lie depending on the point of view

take me

endless sleep

i beg for the end

i'm begging for it

begging for it

as i descend

i'm begging for it

begging for it

desperately trying to mend

one

two

three

four

what am i dying for?

five

six

seven

eight

who can i impersonate?

let me in

i'll show myself out

pure inside

see what i'm all about

watch me flicker

shatter

and dim

when i view my reflection all i see is him

i need a sitting breath of air

an island free of sin

when i look back at that cold stare

wondering where you've been

i beg for the end

i'm begging for it

begging for it

as i descend

i'm begging for it

begging for it

i'm begging for the end

i'm begging for it

begging for it

desperately trying to mend

i'm begging for it

begging for it

i'm begging for the end
