Don't Let Me Slip Away

The whole world is rotting away
About that rotting I have nothing to say
A darkness I've grown so used to
A darkness I know without wanting to

Once I reached out of the dark
I thought light would be within my grasp
I fell apart, nothing to hold on to
Is there anything left to look forward to

Won't you stay
Take a look at me
My face tired and empty
All pretense futile and flimsy
In the silence where it matters no longer
Wherever I turn I'm in a corner

Won't you stay
Stay with me always
Even when the world is torn asunder
Deep in the abyss that holds me prisoner
Make me feel in the darkness within
The lifeline of light so near

Make me feel in the darkness within
The incandescent light so real

If you stay
Stay with me always
Look into my face, a broken mask of pain
Light up every dark side of my being
All seeing, all embracing
Let the light stay, don't let me slip away
