There was something inside derived while staying in sight despite the always growing cold, something untold, few get to hear but this man had an ear heart and eyes to see stuck to the path, worked hard to keep his positivity as a rose will have its thorns a life with beauty so adorned still often stung and would become something that he could accept except the one I knew so well familiarized himself in hell his nights submerged in red lights spent trying to recall himself But he couldn't find himself and he can't shut it out Nothing restores his peace, his only comfort is the steady panting of a beast questioning, in his confusion he rejects his faith for fear of all illusions tells himself he can make it through the night so long as he keeps it from his mind away from love that he once believed, only then it begins to bare its teeth can't move his feet forward, towards joy, looking for words to drown out the noise but all he hears now is the barking that he can't shut out Cant shut it out it never leaves it never leaves me it never leaves Can't find the strength to fight it off day and night it resides faithfully at his side one voice could place his heart at ease, but he'll never know that relief seeing what's in the way from you he sings will this ever f**ing leave me
