The Darkness -- Away
Away
When you come to your end
You've none left care to lend
The dark cloud just won't go
There are no tears to flow
Voices echo around you
And ask if you're ok
You just smile and nod
Knowing what they'll say
You fake them all out
What a goodliar you are
But you're already dead
And from their minds far.
Your pain is never forgotten
And you're constantly numb
You've grown bored with life
To stick around would be dumb
You're tired of school, tired of friends
Oh, dear Lord, take it all away
Make all the pain end
The hurt, the longing, the desire
Burns inside, like the roar of a fire
The pain, the frown, the rumbling fears
Come out in waves of salty tears
Oh please, God, please
My desperation is strong
Oh, please, the pain has been so long
Take me away to a paradise
With love and care
And no feelings of ice
Take me from this cold cruel place
Where I'll be important
Bring a smile to my face
I want to be loved
I want someone to care
I want someone to say
"Come, dear, come away."
