you cannot cry forever my friend.
        are you ready to give...in?

I can cry til the end, never call me your friend
        it was you who decided I'd be where I've been
I'm the one you rely on, the only one who can see
        how
dare you say you would give up on me!
I tried and I could and I can and I will
        no more will it be I you try to kill
I never would harm you-
you haven't yet tried
        but I won't stand by and let you decide
decide on your fate?  I sense it's too late
        to change all the errors of your morbid state

don't try to convince me
        I see through your lies
consuming you whole
        and burning your eyes
you haven't yet heard me-
I don't have to hear
       to know of the lies in your eyes...which I fear
you fear my intentions?  even though they are good?
and you think your intentions are misunderstood.
        you think I've not noticed the gleam in your soul
those burned black intentions I always will know
you take this too far-
I take it just fine
       I take it as I should, up to the line
you'll never get rid of me
        I can promise you this
because now more than ever
       the past you will miss
you want me to run from you
        so you can ignore
the facts you know now;
        the facts from before

I'm not leaving you...ever again
        I'll always be your only friend
as much as you hate it
        you can't forget me
because I am inside you
        and always will be
