The Passing

You raised me up Showed me all of your ways They praised me for what? For everything you portrayed We conquered it all We walked a thousand days I learned how to live To push on past in this maze But now you said your leaving me And it's time you were on your way I just can't I just can't find the reason to meet this day My smile cracks and blisters But I'm proud all the same How can I How can I never see you again You told me like it was nothing That you stared death in the face I wish I could stand with you To hear the bells at the gates To wave you goodbye From this wretched place From a world of disease and anger That you so selflessly embraced As we dance this dance of death again What comes next? I feel my mind hit the rocks the waves never seem to end It's not your world forever This is the passing You will live on forever This is the passing
