Can't You See

Lyrics by Killswitch Engage, "My Last Serenade"

This revelation is the death of ignorance
Tangled in a state of suffocation

Woken…

I stared up from the cold hard table. Its surface cold as night, as is my skin.

My skin is cold, pale, very deep

Faces…

They crowd me, screams. My loved ones staring into my eyes.

Or past them…

I do not know how to comprehend, what do I think.

Their feeble minds, what do they see? There is nothing below my eyes, behind my back.

I do not feel such object.

I dare not look back, I do trust their minds I read.

I must be on something, but such thing is so cold.

So dead…

Slave to self righteousness
Damnation is on your lips
From sorrow to serenity, the truth is absolution,

Dreams…

Where am I? Is this room my death place?

What has happened?

I Speak but no words emerge from my cold mouth.

I dare not look back, for fear courses through my body.

What body?…

I am cold. I feel my hands, cold.

Am I numb? Do I feel no air?

I am lost, what has happened.

I must see what has happened.

I turn around…

Mother of God…

It's me…

From sorrow to serenity, its on your head
This is my last serenade
I feel you as you fall away

Death…

Why am I there?

On such table?

It was not the table cold, it was my such soul.

Freezing, it does.

My body losing all its heat.

But I do not feel no pain. No tear drops form in my eyes, cold eyes.

I look at me like I do a normal man. For me is no longer alive.

I do not understand I do not…

How did I turn this way?

Did I sin too much? Did I feel too less?

Did I die in life or death?

I do not know…

All I feel now…

Is the heat leaving me slowly.

Like a burning out candle

I'm not Alive Anymore…

This is my last serenade
From yourself you can't run away
It's your choice, point the finger

Leave…

I must get out…

I must relieve myself form this painless misery, I am not here.

I never was.

Get up…

Get up!

I stand, I can't move. So many people in my face.

I speak my mind but not my words.

I speak their minds with moving.

I stick my hands out, move.

It Passes through…

The do not notice.

My hand is part of them, as I rush out of their chest.

This is not real, how is this not real?

What about me?

Does this make me unreal?

I can't be taken out anymore.

I am not part of this picture.

No!

I cannot!

I am not dead!

But it's on your head
Your destination is a choice within yourself
Will you rise or become a slave

What did I do to deserve this fate?

Was I not good enough?

Was I unfaithful?

I do not remember the sins I committed or which was against me to this misery?

What am I anymore?

I must go, I must run, I need to find my answer.

I stepped forward, through the man in black.

He is warm as I pass through.

I look back to see him fainted.

I…No!

I did not kill him!

I run.

I run and I don't stop.

Down the hospital halls,

Away from the ceiling,

Off the floors.

Air as to the surrounding Oxygen is what I have become.

Where do I go?

Where do all the dead go?

Where am I?

Someone…please.

Help me.

God help me.

To self righteousness
Open up your heart and gaze within

I had fallen and in tears I lay there.

My tears unreal, but I feel them.

Nothing I do can change anything anymore.

Serenity, my love, I can't hold you no more.

I can't take you with me.

I was always there to help you.

I am sorry.

I stood up, standing I look passed the hallway.

Thoughts run my head.

Reasons are for everything.

I am dead, but pain I do not feel.

I can see my scars…

A knife scar.

I know what I did.

But I couldn't help them anymore.

I am sorry.

A Hand reaches in front of my face.

He tells me I tried.

I am a good person.

And I am going to where the people who understand go..

At the hand of God.

I asked for his help.

Moreover, here he is.

I remember.

Fire.

Bottom Floor.

He killed me before I could stop them.

He grabs my shoulder and walks me to the end of the hallway.

It gets brighter.

We reach the brightest part.

I turn.

"I am sorry Serenity.

You asked and I answered.

If only you could have understood.

I still love you."

I am consumed shortly after.

And as a Spirit…

I am painless for once.

(50 Innocent People died in that Hospital.

A Terrorist had planted Bombs.

He tried to stop it.

A lonely man brought him upstairs dead.

The man escaped the disaster only to commit suicide.

So much tragedy…

But the Real Tragedy is what happens afterwards…)

Do not be afraid of us

We are just like you

Come to the Lights

They guide us too
