You were kept close to my chest. 

I thought it was best to finally free this unrest

That I didn't even realize was

Keeping me so depressed, the situation

This relation

Made me doubt, my every hesitation

Swelled upon me like the ocean

Creating unbearable commotion

I couldn't see

But couldn't leave,

I had made you a part of me

Until you unwittingly chained me

And caused all of this debris. 

Oh! But it's so hard to say farewell,

And tell this boat to set sail

Into the rising of the waves, oncoming gales 

I watch you shrinking on the shore

Your face a blur and nothing more

But I think, could have sworn

That your body line was ridged

Your demeanor so frigid

And I long to run back to you

But you've already diminished. 

Now the silence falls like fine, thin dust

I'm so afraid that the past will start to rust

And my bubbled future will bust

But I must

Keep my head above the water

Though temptation's getting strong

To turn, to turn

But I spurn, this desire

You have to lead me through this fire

Though I'm toeing the wire, 

You've got my soul lifting higher.

Outfit me for this struggle

So I may no longer stumble

I can hear the thunder rumble

And I'm nervous, start to fumble

I'll never be comfortable, no,

Not until this worlds final show

When the stage is set

I've got my bet

On who gets the fatal blow,

You got my faith, 

As far as that goes. 

Now, we shall begin.
