The blinding conviction

Will you stay with me
When everything else dies?
As ashes swirl in the wind
Decaying

How many more pages
Can you rip away
From the end of this book we share

You are still crawling
Blindly convinced

Just a memory
Is not enough for me
I won't let go
I won't let go
Of what is sacred to me

One slow dance
To the beat of abuse
As I look back
Ten thousand hours lost

You turn your back
But I am still right here
Go on and tell me
How I can save you from yourself

You are still crawling
