Quietly Die (All I Can Do)

By Syn

I always knew I'd die young
but not a death of this kind
I never thought I'd be trapped
within the torment of my mind

I was born the day I met you
a rebirth of mistick dreams
But now I'm dead, there's nothing left
I'm going down it seems

It's always easier to walk away
than to give it all you have
And simplicity is always best
backing away while you still can

I wish I could walk away from you
I wish I wasn't tongue-tied
I wish I could stop you now
Instead I quietly die
