Alas my friend I have been blind
But count on this, friend, I won't let go again

It is a pain to see the plague produced by apathy
To see you locked and bound, you plead To see me grasp the key
Compassion is foreign while the tears of the broken lavish me
Souls in anguish die, and only hell they find

The truth to bring the peace they seek is haunting me

I'm haunted by the fact that I neglected every time you cried
I'm haunted by the fact I concealed the truth you need inside
I'm the one to blame

Will I grasp the reality that my comfort has blessed the killing?
My own eyes agree of my numbing to society around me
I can't take this; you're dying While I watch you trying
Every breath you heave proclaims the rejection I've conceived

I'd hate to be the one that's not there when you cry in sorrow
I'd hate to be the one to watch you die tomorrow
I doubt that you are strong enough to survive forever, inside forever
I'd hate to be the one to watch you die
