Epilogue (Outro) Lyrics

I was walking through the woods

Feeling the cold autumn breeze against my skin

And the twigs crunching beneath my feet

With every step that I took

And there he was

This stranger in the distance

Standing alone in his red hoodie

Back towards me as if he'd been

Anticipating my arrival

As I approached him he turned around

And gave me a faint smile

"It appears it's time" he says

"Why have you kept me waiting?"

As I walk closer to him his distorted face

Becomes clear

It's me

"You hold on every so tightly to the person

You once were

Afraid of what is on the other side

Of letting go

Why do you hold on so tightly?"

My chest tightens as I feel my legs weakening

"I've only known you

I felt as though you were the better version

Of me

As the hourglass of time is fleeting the pain

Only increases

I feel like I've lost myself and I'm trying desperately to find where I've misplaced it"

I say

"What is your resolve?" he says

"Though I do not know where I'm going

What I do know is that I cannot bring

You along with me

I must walk this road alone"

As these words fall from my mouth

I reach behind me and grab my blade

He smiles and hangs his head low

As he begins to say:

"Have you come to lay me to rest?

After all we have done?

Why have you come to abandon me

Just as everybody else does?

Everyone hates us

Everyone leaves

Why do you fight so much

For you twisted ideology of love?"

As I stare into his eyes filled with sorrow

He lunges at me as I embrace him

"Thank you for all that you have done for me"

As I feel him tremble in my arms

I sink my blade into his stomach

"It's okay now they can't hurt you anymore"

I say

He collapses onto the ground

As he passes away in my arms

As he lay motionless I retrieve his golden pendant and place it around my neck

"I must move on I must keep moving"
