Freeze frame

I'm in a freeze frame
My heart it wont beat
the moment, I stopped breathing
And I buckled at the knees
I looked to find my body sprawled along the floor
A blackened portrait of serenity, a pale soulless corpse
So here I am, nor in heaven or hell
in the moment of mourning
Relieved yet torn somehow
Where will I go, I don't know
This moments holding on and I wish for it not to let go
But the fire in these widowed eyes closed
Can be seen through the lids
There�s still life left in this heart of mine, but no time left to live
And this knife that I see caught in my flesh
Engraved in the distant ghosts rambling head
A regret.. a bad decision??? no
For the time had come for this girl to move on
And this girl misunderstood,
As she was always a ghost although she didn't know
But now its time for her to let go
And leave in peace, intentions good
With a fright expression on her pouty young face
With a note that reads "Let me fade away

You can paint the perfect picture
You can sign away your debt
You can tape the broken arrow
But you'll only face regret
Cos tomorrow will only find you in a different corner
A darker place than then
And you'll come running back to find me
only to find that I'm not here
