Death surrounds me
Fear has gone
Replaced by anticipation
No, no, no
They are here once more
Let me go!
I long to be beyond here
Time has no meaning anymore
Faceless voices speaking
Into uncaring ears
I long to shed and trample down
This despair a daily companion
I reach for the stars waiting for me
Where pain ceases to exist
Where people look without pity
And time means nought
Pain has taken over
Senses seem to drift
I have won
They are finally letting me go
Death comes easily now
