Go Easy

You don't have to do this
You don't have to burn out
You don't have to be the light
The night reminisces about
Got all your arrows aimed
To stake an early grave
But don't leave in a fury
Why don't you go easy

I know about those days
There's no words to pray
But you scream so loud inside
Like echoes in abandoned caves
Your stomach twists
And you scratch your wrists
But you don't have to rage now
Why don't you hang around

You don't have to be a memory just yet
Don't have to be a voice they all forget
A photo, a story and moon lit tears
Don't have to be an anchor on future years
Put down the gun, put down the blade
It isn't time just yet to be a yesterday
Now don't leave in a hurry
Why don't you go easy
