I asked myself was I content

with the world that I once cherished

did it bring me to this darkened place

to contemplate my perfect future?

I will not stand nor utter words against this tide of hate

losing sight of what and who I was again



I'm so sorry if these seething words I say

impress on you that I've become anathema of my soul



I can't say that you're losing me

I always tried to keep myself tied to this world

but I know where this is leading

please

no tears

no sympathy



I can't say that you're losing me

but I must be that which I am

though I know where this could take me

no tears

no sympathy



gracefully, respectfully

facing conflict deep inside myself

but here confined losing control

of what I could not change



gracefully, respectfully

I ask you please don't worry, not for me

don't turn your back

don't turn away



I can't say that you're losing me

I always tried to keep myself tied to this world

but I know where this is leading

please

no tears

no sympathy



I can't say that you're losing me

but I must be that which I am

though I know where this could take me

no tears

no sympathy



no tears for me, no sympathy

no tears for me, no sympathy
