Here

The flow of life surrounds me

Trying to drag me along

Here I stand, against the current

That would force me to move on.

I can't leave you

Even though we are separated

By more than a few miles

By more than a few continents

I can't look at life anymore

Not when it took you away

Not when it let you fade away

From the world we shared then

Not when I can't see you

Unless I follow you

I want to follow you

I want to leave this place

I can't live when you're not here

The river tries its hardest to pull me with it

Into a world where I can never belong

Here I fall, wondering if you can see me

Wondering if you can forgive me

For not being strong enough

Strong enough to stand on my own feet

Without help from someone else

Without help from you

The river washes over me

It can't touch me here

At the bottom where I'm going

I'll see you again

Even if I have to wait for a thousand years

I'll see you again

Here I lie, watching the waters of life turn red

From the blood that spills from my veins

The blood in payment for the lives I took

Before I could make up my mind

Before I could come here

Before I knew the world had no place for me

If only this wasn't the way it had to be

If only we could've watched the river together

The way we did before

The way that made you smile

When we watched the scientists play

With things we didn't understand

If only you didn't leave me to face the world alone

I can't face the world you left me

I've done what I could for it

Now, I want to see you again

Here I die, the river closing over me

Here I vanish, where no one will ever find me

Here, we meet again.
