This is where it ends, where my heart turns black This is my last breath, as my lungs begin to collapse There is so much I need you to know But my words have failed me, my body has betrayed me There is so much I wish I could say To keep the angels with me, and keep my demons at bay Be still, my bleeding heart the time has come, for you to rest To beat, one last goodbye and then lay silent, in my hollow chest I knew the answer, before the question left my lips I knew what you would say, and the price I would pay The words were on my tongue, and yet I could not speak My spirit was willing, my flesh was just too weak This is my last chance, as my blood turns cold Still I reach out my hand, begging you not to go Guilt bites deep, sinking in its rotten teeth Driven like a nail into the heart of me I can feel it under my skin, it's always there, it's always been Shame takes hold, senses numb and growing cold It's been so long now, the pain is all I know And now there's nothing but a void inside my chest An empty space inside me, filled with regret All that I taste is metal on my tongue, as I struggle to fill my shattered lungs And now I make my last request, as I take my final breath Breathe with me, we will be as one forever Bleed with me, we will always be together Breathe with me Bleed with me Be still, my bleeding heart the time has come, for you to rest To beat, one last goodbye and then lay silent, in my hollow chest This is my last breath
