Paper Chains

Caught here on the edge of a burning knife,
Wishing to fall
But held back by paper chains
Calling my name
Her voice slowly forces me to turn around
Tears streaming down her face cause me to break
This violence does not become me
My darling I have forsaken you
Forced you to walk this earth alone
And there's nothing I can do
But stand here in flames
Hopelessly watching your tears devour you

All I can do is tell you I love you
And though you can't see me now
I'll always be here for you
I will never leave you to wallow in darkness alone
I will never leave
I can't leave...

I am held down here
Held down by flames
Forced to watch you die
Forced by these paper chains
