Let Me Be

Let my heart be cold as winter.
Let my will be strong as stone.
Safer I have found my life
When I walk alone.

Please, see my soul no longer.
May your mind not seek my truth.
Leave me be and let me walk
Content in solitude.

My spirit lives in shadow.
My exsistance stands in pain.
Let me deny this wretched world,
Forget you knew my name.

May the darkness come and take me
Though I die with her sin.
Let me sleep and drift away,
Save me not again.

Take me not into safe harbor,
Nor embrace me overlong.
Let me fade and you will find
You'll not miss me when I'm gone.

Whisper no more in my ear.
Do not offer me false hope.
The bread and wine on which you feast
No longer fills my soul.

Keep such sweet words to yourself
Else you contradict them soon.
And so your understanding ways
Will turn to lies by noon.

Forsake me as all others have,
There is nothing of me left.
Child I no longer am.
Blame life for the theft.

Perhaps I'll face another day,
But do not be beguiled.
Never will you move my mind.
Ne're will you tame the wild.
