Almost

I hear faded whispers
Of the voices long gone
Haunting me through the years
And I run and run and run

Over and over the edge
Far beyond the rims of my mind
So no one could ever find,
Could ever see my scars, my wounds

Over and over the edge
I run and I run and I run
Just to leave it all behind
If only it were so easy to move on

If only there were no years of pain and misery
No memories of living agony
Passing through my heart day by day
Night by night
If only I could breathe in cool air, not thrilling hot ash
And I run over the edge
Again and again and again

I run not to forget
I run from myself
For I’ve lost myself long ago
Among burnt ashes and innocent white snow

Over the edge I run again
Where the waves caress and soothe the pain
So it is almost gone, almost…

Over the edge I run away
To reach the rim of skies before the break of day
And it is almost done, almost…

You know, I was there for you
And forever will be
Until the world explodes into pieces
I will be there for you
