Reaching out so many times
I keep cutting myself open
On the jagged edges that surround you
But still I bleed myself dry
Hoping by my sacrifice
That you may find your way free
From the gilded cage
You’ve let yourself be captured in
How foolish must I be
To fight for someone so strongly
Unwilling to stand up for themselves
Too deep in the echos
The shadows and the noise
To see their own way clear
I can light the way
But I can’t drag you along
And every moment spent standing here
Is another I might have spent
Walking in the light
Alongside someone more willing
And able to see the sun
Wrap me in the bandages
And let me find the strength
To walk away and let you go
Down into your darkness
Where I’m not meant to tread
