ANYTHING FOR AIR
Images of what you did sleep in my shattered mind...
As permanent and damaging as the most horrific crimes.
I trusted you with all the things I now no longer have...
And nothing you can offer me will ever give them back!
In shadowed strands this broken man is begging you to leave...
but you can't sense the urgency that's caused this all to be.
You exist in daylight...
disguised awaiting night...
In every breathing moment you attempt to take my life!
This warrior that you've labeled
me is weakened...
He's afraid!...
You've confused me for a monster!
When you're the one to blame.
I'd wish you on another.
God knows that isn't fair!
But when you're trapped beneath the water, you'd do anything for air!
