By Themselves

to drain away the pain
is all i see in this
isn't this what it is?

No? I believe it's more
more to be thoughtful torn
What is this?

This pain that never
does drain away like
they said it would

was it all a lie?
To see me die?
Sure to see me cry?

But I am not the same
This is my name,
but I've been changed

Does this mean
I can't stay the same?
Can't stay sane?

Is that the price
for knowing more than
A god that doesn't exist

To fall from his grace
To the earth's face
Like there was ever more?

I don't think that's
what this is anymore.
No, it never was.

It's a lie
To see the fool die.
Surely, you'll not cry,

For someone who couldn't
Even stay alive
By themselves
