From Inside

Before I Leave

I know this can't be the only way and I
Should feel against this, I hate it
But I need to see it burn
I guess it's the only way I'll learn
Because I need to see it gone
I'll count the ashes one by one

I will see the end
Through the embers remembering
Long before I leave

Watching embers as they're glowing on the ground
I feel elated, I'm faded
All at once the dream has gone
When everything is said and done
Closures all I really need
One final thing
Before I leave

I will see the end
Through the embers remembering
Long before I leave
I can't walk away until it's done
But I won't be the same
Until I walk away
Hollow out my mind
I can't suffer twice

I will see the end
Through the embers remembering
Long before I leave
