Before I Turn

Mother

Before I Turn


Forsaken, I'm broken
My desire to take away these demons in my mind
I'm calling for your name, but I can only catch a silhouette of your smile
​
I've told you many times before
I've always had the answers for the pain and suffering
The lies you told, the pain I'm in
I told you I would take you there, away from all your frights and fears
Forget your misery, but the seasons change so rapidly
​
I'm taking one last look
At your picture slowly fading in the fire
I'm staring, at your name but there's a silence that looms inside of me, at your grave

It's like I just forgot to breathe, it sucks the light right out of me
I've lost before, but not I'm sure, you aren't the girl I thought you were
Two years have passed, and all I see: Your shadow always haunting me
Forget my misery, 'cause my feelings change so rapidly
​
I've contemplated this before
You took my hand and said no more
You took my eyes so I can't see
You filled my lungs so now I breathe
The dust and death beside your grave
As if it wasn't enough to save your life so many times
​
I've contemplated this before
You took my hand and said no more
You took my eyes so I can't see
You filled my lungs so now I breathe
The dust and death beside your grave
As if it wasn't enough to save your life so many times
So you stabbed me in the back, and I had to watch you die
