Let Me Stay

Sister, where'd you go?
 I've gone and fallen off my horse again
 Summer's ending, I'm remembering
 Everything we could've been
 But those forever feelings never stay
 I had a centre once; she went away
 Was the weight of my darkness too great?
 Call me the light
 I will drive those demons away
 Brother, where'd you go?
 I've wandered off and lost my way again
 My feeding frenzies
 Leave me feeling empty nine times out of ten
 Those phosphorescent petals always fade
 You said you loved me once, but something changed
 Was the strain of my sadness too great?
 Call me the rain
 I am here to clean the slate
 Brief moments of bravery
 Relapses into cowardice
 Glimpses of profundity
 Dances with the precipice
 Retreating back into your slippery shell
 
 Safe within the dismal diving bell
 Well, instead of going into hiding
 And pushing everyone who loves you away
 What if you opened up your doors
 And let me stay?
