Stygiophobia

I know you're not afraid

I saw this all close in around you

I've played this out in my mind so many times

It's too far gone, it's all over

And we both know that this is the way that it's meant to be

In your chest can you feel your own heartbeat racing?

And I know you've seen this many times before

If this is the end then I know that you're breathing

I know that you're alive

I watched you trembling

I heard you calling out for me

I watched you screaming in vain

And again this time I know that you're breathing

I know that you're alive but can you hold your head up now, 

When this is the way that it's meant to be?

You're closing your eyes just to feel your heart inside your chest

You're closing your eyes just to stay alive

So many times I've held it together

So many times I've tried for you
