Another bleak day fades into lonely night,
he wonders how long he can keep up this fight.
A mind at ease, is all he'd need to smile again, and mean it too.

As he closes his eyes in attempt to beat these sleepless nights.
He wonders where the boy went, with the future so bright.
"I think hes gone forever, of hope, there is none.
But I will hold on by this thread until my final song is sung."
He thinks to himself, until the dawn of a new day.
God in heaven take me to you, a ticket please, one way.

Not away on a visit

It doesn't even matter that you're gone
The wind took your soul away
I was denied my right to
