I'll Walk With You

We saw it coming from a distance
We heard the screaming on the news
You barricaded all the windows
All I had was you to lose
The scratching found us in the night time
Hollow voices hungry cries
We held each other through the chaos
Never thinking we could die
You were too weak to make the journey
We had to leave supplies were gone
I thought that I could still protect you
We could survive on the run
Don’t stare at me with those lifeless eyes
Memories lost in the blue
How could I picture such a future
How could I live by killing you
Are you still living without breathing
Or are you just a broken shell
Are you watching me from heaven
Or is the world a living hell
They found us sleeping human weakness
They ripped you from me from my hands
I watched my life break right before me
Destroyed with all our plans
Don’t stare at me with those lifeless eyes
Memories lost in the blue
How could I picture such a future
How could I live by killing you
Are you still living without breathing
Or are you just a broken shell
Are you watching me from heaven
Or is the world a living hell
It’s not an innocent reaction
It’s punishment for my distraction
No one could ever take your place but
I put a gun against your face
How could I picture such a future
How can I live by killing you
There’s nothing left for me to live for
I wish that it were me instead
They’re closing in all around me
I’ll walk with you when I’m dead
