This is a pain, that just cannot be measured
Now I'm burning the candle at both ends
It's been so long since I last saw daylight
Won't someone give me a sign and lead me out of the dark?
I have tried to put on a brave face, leave the past behind me
But it's not so easy when you've lost everything that used to believe in
Am I the solution or just part of the friction?
Won't someone take me away from here? 'Cause I need you now
And I'll never forget, never forget, never forget the words he said
Sit with me for a little while and don't be nervous
'Cause I am not afraid of death, no
The light I saw fade from your eyes
Now I see the stars in the sky
And I know we'll meet again someday
Just keep watching over me
This is a pain beyond comprehension
Endlessly lost in my own isolation
Yet you expect me to hold us together it all feels futile
The compass points to north but we are so off course
So head straight for the belly of the beast
'Cause I've told you before, I am not afraid of death
I am not afraid of death
I greet the reaper with open arms
"Come forth my son, for I mean you no harm"
I feel like I never told you, just what you mean to me
They say time will ease the passing, but time is all that I need
To tell you that I'm sorry, that I couldn't be there at the end
I know this is what you wanted, so I'll heed the words you said
Sit with me for a little while and don't be nervous
'Cause I am not afraid of death, no
Sit with me for a little while and don't be nervous
'Cause I am not afraid of death, no
The light I saw fade from your eyes
Now I see the stars in the sky
And I know we'll meet again someday
Just keep watching over me
Sit with me for a little while and don't be nervous
'Cause I am not afraid of death
