This one has a rhyme to it because it just felt like it needed to be. Just another way for me to let myself breathe a little.","content":"There's a chill in the air,\n\nDarkness is there,\n\nBut my eyes see so vividly now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nI shut myself in,\n\nDevoured by sin,\n\nBut my lips are trembling now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIf I can't breathe,\n\nAnd you just seethe,\n\nAnd my body is quivering now,\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThen I'm set free,\n\nBut you can't see,\n\nHow my spirit is screaming now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nCan't fate let me live?\n\nFor all that I give,\n\nAs my being is torn apart now?\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe selfish me will cry,\n\nThe foolish one will die.\n\nMy tears are falling now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nThe answers are gone,\n\nLeft without song,\n\nBut my voice is singing somehow.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nAnd against my own will,\n\nI feel the thrill.\n\nOf your heart beating now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nIn light of the past,\n\nThese ghosts won't last.\n\nI am who I want to be now.\n\n\u0026nbsp;\n\nSo let me be close,\n\nYou're what I want the most,\n\nAnd it's time for us to live now.\n\n  \n  \n\n"}
