GRAVE RESISTANCE


I can take the pain outside
My body is just a casing
But down beneath the skin lies something more important
I can't explain the way it feels
But nothing means more than what I'll lose

Not long ago I did not fear death
I honestly was not afraid
Things have changed, my life is worth preserving
And now I hate the thought of going

In the past I'd have welcomed an end
A finish to this misfortune we call life
A final flash of light before I say goodnight
And step down into sleep

The thought of no longer having this body
The thought of loneliness and emptiness
The pain my soul will feel
When it bleeds invisible tears
Screaming quietly inside for what I've left behind

Death is blindness in me eyes
The life we live in black
Worst of all I cannot see the one I need
And cannot count the tears because
Everything has turned invisible
Or all is black on a black background
I'll take the hurt my body feels
I will not cry for the scars I bear
But when I have to say goodbye
And no longer have my one and only
I will curl up in myself and weep
For nothing is worth the love I've fallen from

Nothingness will enclose me in it's chains
I won't feel the end to life
But I'll know the end of love
I'll hear your tears as they hit the ground
And I'll sense my own soul's tears
I'll feel my heart being torn in two
And hear it crack
When my love has to say farewell
But look out from the water's edge
And see me as I roll
Upon the sand I come back every now and then
To see you one more time

I'm finding now that I have love
I feel the hurt inside much more
Nothing cuts as deep as the day
I leave the earth and give up my joy
But I don't lose my love
It is eternal
My love lasts till the end of time
And far beyond the last breath I take
