Away
Breaking Benjamin
Cold am I
I'm beside myself
Because there's no one else
Have I grown
So blind
Only god could save you
If you knew your way to the light
So fly away
And leave it behind
Just stay awake
There's nowhere to hide
I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away
Frail and dry
I could lose it all
But I cannot recall
It all wrong
Don't cry
Clear away this hate
And we can start to make it alright
So fly away
And leave it behind
Return someday
With red in your eyes
I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away!
I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away!
Away!
Cold am I
He was so cold.
I'm beside myself
Because there's no one else
He could trust himself, because there was no one else
Have I grown
So blind?
Was he missing something here?
Only god could save you
If you knew your way to the light
He was blinder than appearances let on, for only he could get lost in light. Only he could see nothing but the darkness.
So fly away
And leave it behind
How could he force himself to forget?
Just stay awake
If he slept there would be only nightmares to accompany him.
There's nowhere to hide
The last words Snape had said to him haunted him, assaulted him at every opportunity.
I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away
Frail and dry
His skin was so pale.
I could lose it all
He could lose it all to his own masochism.
But I cannot recall
He couldn't remember his reasons against the thought.
It all wrong
He was wrong.
Don't cry
If he did he would not stop.
Clear away this hate
When all he felt was loathing? There would be nothing else. Nothing left to impersonate his existence.
And we can start to make it alright
It would never be alright.
So fly away
And leave it behind
If he left now, what would he become?
Return someday
With red in your eyes
Return only for revenge. It was a tempting thought.
The words continued to haunt him.
I see you
Not anymore.
Cause you won't get out of my way
He would leave
I hear you
Only an echo
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
Only a whisper, now.
I feel you
Just one lingering touch
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
Once was never going to be enough
I need you
Not any longer. Or so he'd like to thing
They're coming to take you away!
Never would he allow it.
I see you
Cause you won't get out of my way
I hear you
Cause you won't quit screaming my name
I feel you
Cause you won't stop touching my skin
I need you
There coming to take you away!
Away!
And he was gone away.
