Perish
Catherine Corelli
I've no power to rise
And see the ones I despise
I’m tired of them
Their regard for me's trite
They are hopelessly blind
To anything
I've no breath in my lungs
Since my heart felt the thorns
Of loneliness over here
I bled for too long
Now I’m almost gone
Helpless I lie
Cold shadows wrap the sky
Dark in my eye
I perish by and by
Clothed by their empathy
Immured by their apathy
I drift away
Is there anyone here
Someone able to hear
And fill the void
Someone I'm waiting for
Is the one I'll adore
He must be near, sure he'll come
Carry me away
Cuz I don't wanna stay
Helpless I lie
Cold shadows pass me by
I perish, I'll die
But they will not hear me cry
