Let me sleep in peace
Here on Earth
I’m forever gone
leaving my home
Life has shown me flames
and sharp like blades
cutting every part of me
and left me bleeding
Life led me into the grave
Oh I wish I was brave
But death crave for me
I hope my pains
Will be eased
I hope memories that
haunted me at night
Will also be erased
I’m now ready
To start over
I know I will find a closure
Not everything was
a pleasure
