I did this to myself
No one else
My eyes adjust to the dark
Black out the sun or learn to run from it
In my head and around my neck
Echo and ache
Flicker and fade
Death knows my name
I will dismantle myself
No one else
Everything goes black
Empty space in time
I wish I had your heart instead of mine
Burn it down
Or starve it out
Let me trade the time I've found
To sleep perchance to dream
Perchance to never feel a thing
Alive without reason
And awake beyond repair
I will abandon myself
No one else
And were it up to you
What would you have me do
Life is a thing to be left
A skin to be shed
Death knows my name
Echo and ache
Flicker and fade
In my head
Around my neck
