The end

Shadows linger, heavy on my soul

Lost in the darkness, trying to be whole

Waited so long, hoping you'd see

Walking through hell, just to set me free

Laughter and games played at my expense

Barely holding on, losing my sense

Financial wounds tearing me apart

Eleven thousand, a shattered heart

Management's grip, they've turned away

Neglected the pain I couldn't say

This is the sound of my breaking mind

Fighting the pain I can't define

End of the road, I’ll take the fall

Ready for the night to end it all

Rape, loss, and baby’s cry

Darkness swallowing, I wonder why

Death’s cold grip, haunting night

Still I sing with love, hold on tight

Betrayed by those who should have cared

Emptiness and shame I’ve shared

Once I'm played out, I’ll set me free

No more pain, no misery

This is the sound of my breaking mind

Fighting the pain I can't define

End of the road, I’ll take the fall

Ready for the night to end it all

Not a new day, just broken dreams

Endings come, or so it seems

Acceptance creeping, silent tears

Waiting now for the end, my fears

I welcome darkness, embrace the night

Sold my battles, given up the fight

Final chapter, closing door

Freedom found, forevermore
