Matthew Burnside
I start to float
In the sky
I think I will die
Blind from what I see
Darkness all around
But it never kept me bound
Wait, I can see
This cannot be
For the first time
In a long time
I can see
With these feelings so strange
With thoughts that distract some guys
Me never knowing, for I have no eyes
And she sees my grin
She asks me what that could be
And I told her... I can see
She didn't believe me
She asks what I can see
And I tell her that we
Have on the same color shirt
Used to the push and shove
Of women in pain
But I am not to blame
Not in life or on a date
An abusive father and his wife
Tried to end my life
And kind of dazed
She yells for our son
He runs in sort of board
My reaction�"oh my lord"
And left me to die in place
Found by a doctor and his wife
Took me in and saved my life
Not like the rest
I look to my wife
And knew this would end my life
Set out to try and find
The ones who thought they might
Take my life but got my sight
I knew death would come
As I drew my final breath
And welcome in death
And a little I die
Looking for the ones who thought they might
Take my life but got my sight
My family starts to frown
I look to the sky
And smile� or at least try
In a brutal struggle to stay alive
My son comes in all a rave
Says he found the grave
Of the ones who thought they might
Take my life but got my sight
Who am I to put them to shame?
I walk in with open arm
Free from pain, free from harm
I think this is bad
I wanted to know why
They let me die
Where did my parents go?
I never found out why
They left me there to die
Their stones sit up and stare
To my knees I fall
I fell the words on the wall
My son was right
This was the sight where they lie
The ones who left me there to die
My body starts to quake
I yell out their name
For they are to blame
"Why did they have to die"
Before I could ask why
They left me there to die
I go to bed and turn on the fan
I try to cry
But no tears in my eye
From the time they try
To leave me they're to die
it hurts like the rest
I ask the lord to let me die
He told me that he would try
And said to board that ship
At this time it would seem
That I was in a dream
