Searching
For a means to an end
Inside this crowded room
Their faces frozen in laughter
Perhaps now I can sink faster
Into this place called a home

Family
What does it mean
When they don't know me
Who I really am
Who I wish to be

Hope
Is something I have lost
Along this beaten path
I run farther and farther
My heart beating faster and harder
Can I find it again
Another way to cope
Another glimmer of hope

In the darkness
My heart beats content
Where the noise is minimal
Life seems well spent
While I live in this world
I hope I can find
What you left for me
Before I go blind

Why must I leave
To see what you've made
Let me stay
In the darkness
As my soul fades away

In a moment,
It feels as though everything has changed.
The day that I met you,
My memory stained.
The day that you left me my heart had been drained.

In a moment,
I am no longer me.
I have been swallowed by the shadow of my past.
Almost as if it was never meant to last,
but still I couldn't see.
That you and I were never meant to be.
