I see the end a coming, I feel the end is near It may be tomorrow, it may be another year I don't know how to breathe in when I'm filled up with fear They say change is for a reason, well then why am I in tears? Fall onto my knees again Lay down with my hopelessness Speak into the air and then Fall asleep where pain it ends I talked to mom and daddy but they don't have a clue When death will seize up me when will it come for you Is there something more to dying, is there a place I will go to? Or do we all just end up lying in dirt inside a tomb? Fall onto my knees again Lay down with my hopelessness Speak into the air and then Fall asleep where pain it ends I understand your sorrow, I've felt all of your pain You may not have tomorrow but through me is life to gain My child I want to tell ya this life is not in vain I wrote you in my story, I'll wash you in my rain You've hurt me once before, child, and many times here since But all I want from you is to be your closest friend Believe in me my child and when death comes to your door I'll take you home with me, child, to live forevermore Fall onto my knees again Lay down with this confidence Pray to thee, my God, my friend Fall asleep where peace begins
