You are all I have - a stranger
You have a certain air
Why elect me as the conduit to grief?
Have I not suffered enough?
You’re just adding to the load
I’d believe the hope around me
If it wasn’t me you chose
Save me - such an empty term
Forsake me - no one ever learns
Redeem me - how is that deserved?
Erase me - from this haggard earth
It’s the reason I’m searching for
It’s the reason that I was born
It’s the reason I can’t ignore
I’ve been waiting forever more
Tell me when and I’ll go with you
Say you promise and I will too
Take me somewhere I can be free
Somewhere I don’t even know me
Let’s start anew
Let’s build on the darkness and silence
Save me - such an empty term
Forsake me - no one ever learns
Redeem me - how is that deserved?
Erase me - from this haggard earth
Let’s start anew
Let’s build on the darkness and silence
