PLEASE DON'T

Please don't...

Please don't give up,

don't give yourself to the shadows,

swim and swim to the surface.

At the surface where you can breathe again,

there you will find the light, and the body will be at peace.

Please don't give up on your shadows,

that love to hug and strangle you to death.

Swim and swim to the surface.

Yes, there on the surface.

Please don't give up on yourself.

WE NEED YOU...

I NEED YOU...

Will be there as soon as I can...

walking, running, jumping, swimming, and flying...

Coming to take care of you.

PLEASE DON'T GIVE UP!

Fight the demons and make them go away.

They should not dare to be in your way.

PLEASE DON'T...

SWIM TO THE SURFACE...
