The Best of You
Here they come,
she's lying wide awake at night,
nowhere to run,
no place secret enoug to hide,
and everytime she closes her eyes
she can feel them creeping up inside her
She holds her breath,
she doesn't dare to make a sound,
she feels their wrath,
senses their presence all around,
and she can taste their resolve
to get to her and bring her down
Don't let go yet,
Don't let them get,
the best of you
She lacks the strength to face the fight,
scrambles to hide,
extinguished all the burning light inside,
so they can never find her,
wore her darkness like a cloak,
and she lay low greeted the cold
Just like a stone,
insensate and immovable,
she lay alone,
so adamant, she didn't show
that she was chilled to the bone,
and forgot everything she'd known
Don't let go yet,
Don't let them get,
the best of you
