Autumn (A Long Goodbye...)

Don't say another word
Your silence is divine
Have I done enough now
To finally sleep tonight?

I hear you whispering
Why do you call to me?
You always cause me pain
Can never turn away

Your hands around my neck
The pressure in my chest
You never let me rest
You took my very best

Rather feel the sting of the needle in my vein
Autumn days hang till there's no pain
Praying to be saved but there's not another way
Tied around my neck, I'll go up in flames

You used to bring a smile to my face
The times we shared I could never replace
A love so dear, a place where I belonged
You guided my hand until you steered me wrong

Why can't it be the same?
Why'd you do this to me?

Just give in, take it in, you'll be glad you did

But it's the same mistake
One I can't help but make
It's okay, trust in me, I'll make it go away

I long to feel it's glow
A soft embrace like home
It's alright, end the fight, feel the warmth inside

Please just stop the shake
Tears roll down my cheek
Ease your misery and pain

Come to me
Feel the grip get tighter

Come to me now
Come to me
I'm the noose around your neck

Come to me

I hear you whispering
Your hands around my neck
Why do you call to me?
The pressure in my chest
You always cause me pain
You never let me rest
Can never turn away
You took my very best
