Goodbye

[Verse 1] I’m like the tallest mountain, high up in the clouds. I have these thoughts in my head— they’re all so very loud. [Verse 2] Like a king to a peasant, or a god to a man, I have no control over who the fuck I am. [Verse 3] From a whisper to a scream, like a monster from a dream, the emptiness I feel inside is nothing but obscene. [Verse 4] In the dark, all alone, at night, all by myself, the things I do from head to toe should send me straight to hell. [Verse 5] In the hand and on the wrist, inch by inch, it grows. The blade abides the way it slides, a trail of bloody woes. [Verse 6] Softly lit, here I sit, cold in heart and mind. I’ll never know the ones whose love I left so far behind. [Verse 7] Not worth the cost of speech, or thought, or love from you— or them, or him, or her, or anyone I knew. [Verse 8] Nothing is forever, and something was a lot. It’s something that I ran from, and nothing’s what I want. [Verse 9] A last farewell, a sad goodbye, the things I never say. To the ones who find me here, don’t waste your breath to pray.
